What if conservation could respond before the crisis hits? In 2024, howler monkeys were falling dead from trees in Mexico. Our model had flagged that region before the crisis. We present the first global early warning system forecasting extreme heat exposure for biodiversity here rdcu.be/fm8ml

A global early warning system for predicting exposure of biodiversity to extreme heat

Nature Climate Change - The authors develop an early warning system to predict the risks of extreme temperatures for 30,585 vertebrates 1–9 months in advance. They identify species and...

Tree diversity is changing in the Amazon and Andes. Belen Fadrique leads our analysis in @natecoevo.nature.com w/ 400 plots + 40 years of RAINFOR records. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Hot, drier, more fragmented forests are losing species. Many in the Andes + western Amazon are gaining them.

🧵1/ New paper out in @ecography.bsky.social ! 🌍🌳 We looked at temperate deciduous forests across North America, West Eurasia, and East Eurasia, three regions that share ancient roots but have been separated for millions of years. What does that long breakup mean for today’s biodiversity?

Without forward-looking models, biodiversity policy risks missing the road to recovery. Our new PNAS article calls for predictive tools and a World Biodiversity Research Programme to guide global action. 👉 doi.org/10.1073/pnas... #Biodiversity #Conservation #PredictiveModels #PNAS

🌍🌳 A new global study warns that many of the world’s tree species are under serious threat. It also identifies potential climate refugia — areas where trees could persist if protected, and calls for urgent conservation efforts. 🔗 Read the full article here: doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Key results of community dynamics in one of the fastest warming biomes. @nanitundra.bsky.social show no homogenization, no simple borealization and shrubs playing a major role. More here ⬇️

Dr. Mariana García Criado@nanitundra.bsky.social · last yr.

Despite plant species richness being greater at warmer lower latitudes, richness change was multi-directional, leading to no net change over time on average. However, species turnover was widespread, with species being gained and/or lost at 59% of plots and abundance changes at 99% of plots. (2/8)

Great afternoon back together w JC Gégout and @jeremborderieux.bsky.social in a forest to record a podcasts on forest understory community thermophilization and homogenization @agroparistech.fr. Science here ➡️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Disequilibrium in plant distributions: Challenges and approaches for species distribution models

Plant distributions are often in disequilibrium with climate, not occupying all suitable habitat and present in conditions that no longer support long-term population persistence. This proves a chall...

Topoclimates matter ! Valley bottoms harbor 30% more cold adapted species ! #geodiversity @peercomjournal.bsky.social @jeremborderieux.bsky.social

📯🌲| The last article from my thesis is now out in @peercomjournal.bsky.social ! We tackled how the different drivers of forest temperature determine plant communities. We found that shaded valley bottoms harbor 5 (30%) more cold-adapted species! doi.org/10.24072/pcj.... Will it lead to microrefugia?
