Excited to share my final PhD paper! We show how mother tree and seed position within an elevational gradient drive seedling recruitment in the Alps🌱⛰️ You can read it here: doi.org/10.1111/1365-2745.70303 @journalofecology.bsky.social @sgn.one @wslresearch.bsky.social @aaronkauffeldt.bsky.social
Huge congratulations to Dr Dickson Mauki @dicksonmauki.bsky.social who successfully defended his PhD yesterday: 'Plant functional strategies and regulating Nature's contributions to people along environmental gradients of Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania'.
I am happy to share this again! 🎓 PhD done! I’m sincerely grateful to my amazing supervisors, @peteecology.bsky.social, @mschleuning.bsky.social and @margot Neyret for their guidance, support, and encouragement throughout this journey. Cheers to the next step✈️.

Naturalized and Invasive Species Integrate Differently in the Trait Space of Local Plant Communities
We investigated the relative positions of native, non-invasive naturalized and invasive plant species in the functional trait space of local communities in six different habitat types. We show that n...
