Thanks for creating this pack! Can you please add me? 🙏🏼

Can you please add me? Thanks!

We were invited to universities of #Londrina and #Curitiba @ufpr.bsky.social from #Brazil to discuss #research and new collaborations
Conny Sattler presented #EcolClips
Exciting new ideas for more #science communication with Brazilian ecologists.
Soon 4 new EcolClips with researchers from both unis

A Functional Basis for the Assembly of Australian Subtropical Rainforest Tree Communities We surveyed rainforest tree communities across the Australian subtropics (spanning 600 to 2500 mm rainfall year−1) and measured functional traits on 285 (91%) of all recorded species. Hydraulic strat....

Congrats @juergenknauer.bsky.social! Truly inspiring and well deserved!

If you are at #ESAus24, may I interest you in my talk on "Understanding links between plant allometry, functional traits and the environment using first principles"?
10:30 AM today, Room 103.

Transport of water to leaves implies whole‐plant coordination of hydraulic and photosynthetic traits This article is a Commentary on Chhajed et al. (2024), 244: 1760–1774.

Delighted to have the opportunity to write a @newphyt.bsky.social commentary on work by Shubham Chhajed et al. Combining traits approaches with ecophysiology provides new insights on how hydraulic and photosynthetic traits coordinate across species. 🌱🌿

Theory and tests for coordination among hydraulic and photosynthetic traits in co‐occurring woody species See also the Commentary on this article by Macinnis-Ng, 244: 1681–1683.

Marking my Bluesky entry by (shamelessly) plugging my recent work showing water storage and allocation strategies in woody plants explain within-site variation in photosynthetic traits. It's based on microeconomic principles and cost-optimization. @ianjwright.bsky.social
