Interesting modelling approach to predict plant species and phylogenetic richness across the globe. It would be cool to develop machine-learning-models to provide context for plant invasions worldwide. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Using a global dataset of >295,000 plant species we provide a global assessment of the importance of different plant life and growth forms to global patterns of plant diversity.

A new paper from my PhD research is out now in @Ecology_Letters This is our attempt at incorporating functional traits into island biogeography theory using trait data for Canary Island plants. See here👉doi.org/10.1111/ele.14… 🧵1/8

Interested in rivers? I offer 2-week Stream Ecology at Flathead Lake Bio Station, 17-28 July. We take a 4 day float trip on the Middle Fork Flathead learning about river ecosystem theory and natural history. There will be whitewater. @FLBSUM @umontana flbs.umt.edu/apps/education…

Great opportunity to join the Plant Tree of Life team at @KewScience! We are looking for a Collection and Laboratory Technician to help us complete the sampling of all the +13,600 flowering plant genera of the world! #PAFTOL More details here: careers.kew.org/vacancy/paftol…

It’s 4am in Montreal and after several years of negotiations, governments have just adopted an historic Global Biodiversity Framework for saving nature. Here’s a thread with my take on what's good and what's bad in it.

“The future of biodiversity – overcoming barriers of taxa, realms and scales” Pls submit your ideas for sessions, interactive lunchtime events, workshops etc for the 2023 highly international @GfoeSoc conference, hosted by @idiv in Leipzig: gfoe-conference.de Pls RT

The European beech tree has suffered in southern Europe due to #ClimateChange. Now new research at our Uni shows this species - Germany’s most important native forest tree - is suffering in northern Germany too: ogy.de/n63m, doi.org/10.1111 @GlobalChangeBio

"Česká hlava" (The Czech Head Award), the highest Czech scientific award, will be presented in Prague tonight. This year, the government’s National Lifetime Achievement Award went to our colleague, botanist and ecologist Petr Pyšek, who works on invasive plants and animals.

Shoutout that we @idiv @UniLeipzig are hosting the next @GfoeSoc conference 12-16 Sept 2023 in Leipzig 🥳🥳 Mark your calendars!! We gave you a year's headup!!!! @AlettaBonn @sMarten_Winter #EcologyMetz2022
