New paper out in @natureecoevo.bsky.social, led by Bruno Pinho, showing how human disruption is driving 'winner' and 'loser' #tree species shifts across tropical forests.
➡️ Fast-growing / small-seeded species dominating Brazilian forests were levels of deforestation and degradation are high.

New paper out! How do species coexist through invasion cycles (like the classic✂️🪨📄) in nature? We introduce a general framework linking the structure of species interactions to the emergence of complex ecological cycles

What have we actually learned from empirical applications of Modern Coexistence Theory? We reviewed 84 studies from the last two decades to find out. Read our new synthesis in Ecology Letters here:

We are looking for more collaborators who want to run a BugNet site in their region. If you are interested, join our online info event. Please re-skeet, and help us to reach community ecologists, and those interested in plant- herbivore and plant-pathogen interactions around the world! 👇

The @bugnet.bsky.social Delegation from @slfdavos.bsky.social very much enjoyed the first day of #BES2025 in Edinburgh! Don’t miss our posters on herbivore interactions under current and future climate that we will present in the community ecology poster sessions today and tomorrow.

This #BES2024 finally motivated me to create this account and join the community here! 🌟 Whether you attended my talk or not, if you're up for some post-conference discussions, feel free to reach out! 😁🌱
Our first study from the Hasli Outdoor Mesocosm Experiment (HOME) is out!!
Here we focus on plant responses to extreme heat and drought during the first two years of the experiment, and we found that fast- and slow-growing plants fully recovered to drought

In a 2-year outdoor mesocosm experiment, slow- and fast-growing grassland plants exhibit biomass-trait decoupling 1 month after drought, particularly under warmed conditions. This decoupling disappea....
