As #climatechange becomes more extreme, organisms may no longer keep track in their phenology or seasonal activity e.g flowering, swarming or egg laying. @soerinegerlich.bsky.social led our study showing this is real for highly sensitive #arctic #arthropods royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Keeping up with climate change: have Arctic arthropods reached their phenological limits? | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences

Many arthropods show earlier seasonal activity with warming, but these responses cannot continue indefinitely. Identifying such phenological thresholds is crucial for understanding limits to climate tracking and species persistence, but few studies test ...

We need to better understand #phenological responses to #climatic variation at 1) the species level, 2) for understudied taxa and 3) in regions of rapid climate change. Today, we published work meeting all three criteria - enjoy: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

#Shrubs are encroaching tundra vegetation due to #climatechange, but not everywhere and all at once. Plant responses are context-specific. Only a coordinated international data collection, excellent leadership and rigorous analyses could tease this apart. Huge credit to @nanitundra.bsky.social

🌸Plant diversity dynamics over space and time in a warming Arctic 🌸

Our new study @nature.com analysed plant diversity change in >2000 tundra plots over 4 decades. We found that plants changed unevenly, mostly driven by warming and biotic interactions.
