Biodiversity of #rainforest can recover within decades when located in highly connected landscapes because animal mobility drives natural recovery. Our @reassemblynet.bsky.social synthesis paper is out @nature.com: tinyurl.com/4w24a96b

🚨 For those with access to collections of bird specimens: we are looking for collaborators who can quickly measure bulbuls/greenbuls (Pycnonotidae) for a project on intraspecific trait variation. We need 100s specimens measured from common species in return for co-authorship. Anyone up for it? 🧪🌐🪶

Good news! #Biodiversity🦜🐜🐒🐸 in a tropical #rainforest 🌴🇪🇨can naturally recover quickly 📈 (if the conditions are suitable = enough surrounding forest). Our new study in #Nature

We had a little Functional Ecology group celebration yesterday. Coming to think of why this academic journey was worth it, it became apparent that it's all about people at the end. It's a big privilege to work and have worked with so many great and inspiring people over many years. Thanks to all!
Our @sgn.one workshop organized together with @josephtobias.bsky.social and Susanne Fritz was enlightening, fun and will surely lead to many future interactions and outputs on how plant/animal traits translate into functions. Thanks to all for your excellent ideas and very respectful discussions! 🌐
Happy to share this important study by @annarl.bsky.social using her newly collected data in Ecuadorian Chocó forest @reassemblynet.bsky.social and a Bayesian model to estimate the recovery time of seed dispersal by animals after deforestation 🧪🌎
@annarl.bsky.social used the interaction functional space combining plant and animal #traits to show that the recovery of functional diversity of seed-dispersal interactions is delayed by about 20 years after deforestation @reassemblynet.bsky.social 🧮➕📏

Seed dispersal by 🦜🦇 underpins rainforest recovery. We want to understand more about its timing + traits driving recovery through obs, exp + genomic data. Ready to join the @reassemblynet.bsky.social team working in Ecuadorian Chocó? Pls apply to our 4-yr PhD position @sgn.one: tinyurl.com/2pkryc99
