New paper out today in Global Ecology and Biogeography! 🦋🌡️ Using 3-decades of moth monitoring across Finland, we found that climate warming is reshaping communities towards smaller species—especially in the colder north—while wing pigmentation shows no consistent change. doi.org/10.1111/geb....

Climate Warming Is Causing an Increasing Dominance of Smaller Moth Species

Aim To test whether spatial trait–temperature relationships predicted by ecogeographic rules (Bergmann's rule and the thermal melanism hypothesis) can be used as space-for-time substitutions to anti...

We don't do medical research because diseases are interesting, but to keep people healthy We don't do conservation science to understand extinctions, but to prevent them We don't do climate science for knowledge, but to help prevent disaster The whole idea of value free science is such nonsense

JT de TF1 et de France 2 hier soir, PAS UN MOT sur la 7e limite planétaire qui vient d'être franchie. Pourtant, l'acidification des océans a des conséquences planétaires et met en péril la survie de régions entières, partout dans le monde. C'est plus Don't Look Up, c'est don't give a fuck.

📍Observer bias is a known challenge when modeling presence-only data, which many methods address. Using a virtual observer approach, we investigated and tailored observer bias correction of two main observer behaviours: explorers vs followers. ▶️ www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Explorers vs. followers: A behavioural approach to spatial bias correction in species distribution modelling

In recent years, the increase in data availability through citizen science data collection has raised questions about the quality of this data. Specie…

Great discussions at our Seminar: Working Outside Academia! Postdocs at Viikki campus (@helsinki.fi) heard from Heli Salmela (GSK), Pia Kinaret (Synlab), & Edward Kluen (Ramboll) about their journey from academia to industry: challenges, motivations & key advice. Big thanks to all who joined! 🎉

Very interesting plenary session at #OikosFin23 great community ecology history and perspectives from Mathew Leibold 🤓 Picture credit: @basilefinand.bsky.social

Starting up Oikos Finland 2025 conference with a great talk and deep conversations that are more than needed ! How does the scientist community can inform and how to make governements listen 🤔

Humbling words by @jannekotiaho.bsky.social about the state of our Mother Earth and Finnish biodiversity. Let’s work #oikostogether to improve our understanding of biodiversity loss and produce #scienceforpolicy. @oikosfinland.bsky.social

Great turn out for our night of science satellite event for outreach 🥼 with amazing presenters from Viikki campus 🌿🐀💨🧲🦠 #viikkipostdocs @helsinkiuni.bsky.social
