So cool Mariana! Big congratulations!!!!

Super excited to chat about the challenges of working with trait data 🍃 on Jan 14 at the ECR seminar, hosted by @dittemch.bsky.social & @nadi-mi-ar.bsky.social . Presenting along @bjenquist.bsky.social & @nanitundra.bsky.social . Join us🌿! bit.ly/3Pqingy

🌱 Seminar on functional trait ecology 🌱

I'll be discussing my research on Arctic plant traits next 14 Jan at the ECR seminar organised by @dittemch.bsky.social & Nadine Artz. So excited to present alongside legends
@bjenquist.bsky.social & @lacapary.bsky.social. Join us! forms.gle/gemqP82kQgpN...

We need #microclimate data to understand demographic responses to climate! We illustrate this with 3 years of demographic data across 37 populations of a long-lived forest herb: Lathyrus vernus.

Check it out here in the ESA journal #Ecology:

Hi! Would love to be added. I work on large-scale plant diversity patterns and change related to land use and climate. 🌱🌳🌲

🌿 We need to raise the profile of #bryophyte ecological research 🌿 (and also a bryophyte emoji!)

In this opinion piece, we as a group of #ECRs outline barriers in bryophyte research and provide recommendations to overcome them across institutional levels & disciplines.

Hi Jonathan! I would be happy to be added if there is space :)

Can you add me please? :)

Competitive interactions modify the direct effects of climate As the climate is changing, species respond by changing their distributions and abundances. The effects of climate are not only direct, but also occur via changes in biotic interactions, such as comp...

Effects of climate on population dynamics might therefore be best understood as a combination of direct effects & effects mediated by competitive interactions. We therefore need to include both types to reliably assess how species abundances and distributions will respond to a changing climate.

We transplanted 2 moss species with different climate niches (one "warm" species, one "cold" species), together & alone across a latitudinal gradient in 🇸🇪. When growing alone both species responded positively to warmer 🌡️, but this reversed for the cold species when growing next to the warm species.

I am happy to be able to share the last paper from my PhD now published in Ecography:
doi.org/10.1111/ecog...
Here we show how competitive interactions can modify, and even reverse, the direct effects of climate on organism performance.

Thanks for sharing Ingeborg! 😀

This opinion paper is a direct outcome of a meeting between bryophyte-interested ECRs at the GFÖ conference last year.
Thanks to coauthors for a great collaboration!

We have summed up the importance of bryophytes for ecological research, difficulties existing for ECRs to pursue a bryophyte focused research career & what we & the ecological society can do about it
