Exhilarated to share a 2nd @science.org cover article this month from our lab @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social! A collaboration with US & Mexico colleagues on the role of a Mexican biogeographic holding pen in shaping the Great American Biotic Interchange (GABI)(1/11) www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

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...

Pines compensate for winter insect defoliation with longer and more photosynthetically efficient needles
Abstract. Insect outbreaks are major biotic disturbances in forest ecosystems. Defoliating insects reduce leaf area, limiting photosynthetic capacity and r

There has been much confusion about the historical distribution of Pinus sylvestris in the Iberian Peninsula, and little is known about the plant communities they form. We address all of this in our last paper, led by PhD student Victor González-García. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Aim Pinus sylvestris is the most widely distributed Pinus species in the world, highlighting its ecological, economic and socio-cultural importance. The Iberian Peninsula marks its south-western dis.....

🚨🚨 Paper alert 🚨🚨 We study sterol specialisation in 4 cavity-nesting bees in European cities to understand if it reflects plant host specialisation! We also compare sterol composition in pollen provisions and in adult bees to assess of bees are exactly what they eat 🐝🐝 #urbanecology #bees

New paper in @science.org ! Where and when did the #multiyear-droughts occur around the world? Have they become more prevailing? We identified over 10,000 such events and found that they have been increasingly occupying the terrestrial land. (1/6) www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ado4245

New #causalinference paper just dropped! As an ecologist, I was trained to ask: "What do the data tell me?" This paper: there are only specific instances when this question is appropriate—when you lack domain knowledge, which we often have! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Nearly 50% of Earth's land cover and upwards of 70% of Biodiversity Hotspots are extreme environments. Yet many ecological theories fail in these habitats. Here, we explain why and showcase what extreme environments can tell us in a world of new extremes. #Fulbright dx.doi.org/10.1002/ecs2...
Extreme environments in a world of new extremes
Extreme environments, whether defined by climate, soils, or disturbance, at landscape or micro-scales, are prevalent across Earth's surface and have long served as crucibles for ecological and evolut...

Ancient pine trees growing in eastern Spain have quietly recorded more than five centuries of Mediterranean weather. Analysis of tree rings clearly shows that todays storms and droughts are becoming more intense and more frequent than almost anything the region has experienced since the early 1500s.
