July's Funk Seminar will be given by Dr. Mark Costello! In both terrestrial and marine systems, the latitudinal biodiversity gradient appears bimodal, peaking in mid-latitudes- but the drivers of this pattern vary across systems. Learn more and register here: www.biogeography.org/news/news/ju...

July 2026 Funk Biogeography Seminar – Mark Costello

Revisiting generality in the global latitudinal gradient in species richness across ocean and land (and the 20°C effect) Recent discoveries show that the global latitudinal gradient in marine spe...

A data collection mission that began in 2012 is finally released as AVONICHE. Designed as a companion to AVONET bird trait database and updated to Avilist taxonomy, it’s an Open Access dataset providing updated diets and a detailed breakdown of foraging behaviours used by all bird species. 🪶🌐

New paper out! 🐦📊 We realease AVONICHE, a global dataset with detailed information on the proportional use of 32 foraging niches, combining dietary categories with the behaviours and substrates used to access resources. Openly access the paper and data in GEB: doi.org/10.1111/geb....

Very proud of @acabral-bio.bsky.social and @yuansoup.bsky.social for defending their PhD theses at Leipzig Uni. Both experts in #frugivory, and #trait-based #ecology and #evolution! @idiv-research.bsky.social

Ever wondered what explains the amazing fruit diversity in the custard apple family (Annonaceae)? See what we found: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... @renskeonstein.bsky.social @hsauquet.bsky.social @ingolfkuehn.bsky.social @josephtobias.bsky.social @tlpcouvreur.bsky.social, and others!

Heads-up for fans of trait-based models & trophic interactions! A fresh & fruity paper led superbly by Andressa Cabral & Renske Onstein @naturalis.bsky.social investigates the role of seed-dispersing animals in shaping pantropical plant diversity. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....
