Almost every European plant species is out of equilibrium. Climate change is only part of the story—disturbance greatly shapes where species actually occur. 🚨Our new paper 🌱in @natecoevo.nature.com analysed 3,047 species across >1.1M European vegetation plots. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Had an unforgettable time at the Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation 2026 meeting, where Santiago Velazco and I led a wonderful group of folks in exploring species distribution modeling using the flexsdm and adm R packages at the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden 🌱

📜New Paper📜@ecography.bsky.social Species distributions aren’t just about where species occur, but how survival, reproduction and development vary across environments. We formalise the Demographic Niche Concept to link niche theory and demography. nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Check out our new paper! Led by Blair McLaughlin at UC Santa Cruz, we found that many of CA's widespread trees may lose substantial suitable habitat under climate change -- vulnerabilities that are already supported by observed demographic trends 🌡️🌲🌳 news.ucsc.edu/2026/04/cali...

Threat of California’s native tree loss is greater than current estimates

New study finds that many of the state’s valuable and most recognizable trees could decline sooner than expected because current risk calculations don’t incorporate climate change
