Range could impact species’ decline in the current biodiversity crisis. Xu et al. use replicated metacommunity data to identify global patterns in the relationship between species' range size & changes in occupancy through time @WubingX @Jon_Chase03 @idiv nature.com/articles/s4146…

Während weniger verbreitete Arten wie der Regenbogen-Brandungsbarsch an immer weniger Orten zu finden sind, profitieren weiterverbreitete Arten von anthropogenen Veränderungen. Neues Paper von @WubingX et al in @NatureComms. idiv.de/de/news/news_s… @UniHalle @Jon_Chase03

While more narrowly distributed species like the rainbow surfperch are found at fewer sites, more widely distributed species benefit from anthropogenic changes. New study by @WubingX et al published in @NatureComms. idiv.de/en/news/news_s… @UniHalle @Jon_Chase03

Eine neue Studie in @naturesustainab zeigt: Bei langfristig angelegtem Fischerei-Management werden evolutionäre Veränderungen, die u.a. beim Kabeljau zu einer geringeren Laichgröße geführt haben, profitabel umgekehrt. idiv.de/de/news/news_s… @UniLeipzig

New study in @naturesustainab shows: Under long-term fisheries management, evolutionary change, that has resulted in smaller maturation sizes of fish stock like cod, can be reversed profitably. idiv.de/en/news/news_s… @UniLeipzig

What causes positive #BEF relationships? #PSFs? #Complementarity effects? Micro-evolutionary changes? Probably a bit of all. But also diversity-dependent changes in soil properties over time? Find out in our new study! (Spoiler: we think so) doi.org/10.1002/ece3.9… @idiv @UFZ_de

Zwerg- und Riesenarten entwickeln im Vergleich zu ihren Festlandsverwandten eine geringe bzw. große Körpergröße. Studie @ScienceMagazine zeigt: Arten, deren Größe sich besonders stark von den Festlandsverwandten unterscheidet, sterben wahrscheinlicher aus. bit.ly/3l3AIo8

So-called dwarfed and giant species have evolved to very small or large sizes compared to their mainland relatives. A new study @ScienceMagazine shows: species that underwent more extreme body size shifts are more likely to go extinct on islands. bit.ly/3J7XKCB

Plant #Roots are the primary fuel for soil #animal communities in the #tropics. This is shown by a recent study led by @uniGoettingen with the @idiv. For a long time, leaf litter was thought to be the most important resource. idiv.de/en/news/news_s…

Pflanzenwurzeln sind der hauptsächliche Treibstoff für Bodentiergemeinschaften in den Tropen. Das zeigt eine aktuelle Studie unter der Leitung der @uniGoettingen mit dem @idiv. Lange Zeit dachte man, dass Laubstreu die wichtigste Ressource sei. idwf.de/-DF2jAC

🙌New paper in @GEB_macro! Using @sPlot_iDiv data, we analyzed the role of plant functional diversity structure for productivity in grasslands around the world. 🌿We found that trait means are important, functional diversity not really🌱 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

In this new paper w Malte Welling (@ioew_de) and @JSagebielChoice (@idiv) published in @JEEM_tweets, we manipulate information provided in a discrete choice experiment. We do not find an impact of information type on stated preferences. 1/3
