Great collaboration with @fabrovillalobos.bsky.social @maitner.bsky.social @bjenquist.bsky.social and many others
in "General laws of biodiversity: Climatic niches predict plant range size and ecological dominance globally", we provide key insights into species’ vulnerability to environmental change and the processes that structure biodiversity at global scales.

We are glad to share our recent article pulbished in @pnas.org, where we we demonstrate that plant species that occupy larger geographic ranges tend to have broader climatic niches and are more likely to achieve high local abundances.
Hot off the press! From the PhD thesis of @lopezreyeska.bsky.social where we explored the connection between biogeographic processes and climatic niche dynamics in spiny lizards 👇
🐝 Our latest Special Feature, "Network Ecology in the Anthropocene", is now accepting proposals.
📝 The Special Feature will be accepting submissions to all 7 of our British Ecological Society journals.
Southeast Asia covers multiple global biodiversity hotspots — but is experiencing a biodiversity crisis.
Our new article in Nature Reviews Biodiversity asks: What’s really driving the losses, and what can we do about it?

New paper out! 🏙️ We found that urbanisation simplifies and homogenises seed dispersal networks. 🪴🐦⬛ Non-native plants dominate in cities, accounting for 61% 😔 of interactions in the urban network vs just 15% in forests! 🪻🌿🌴

🧪 New paper: how can we turn decades of work to quantify the structure of species interaction networks into something relevant for biodiversity monitoring and management? @gabdans.bsky.social lays out the roadmap in a new paper in @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social

Please pass along - postdoc position! with our working group on #FunctionalTraits and rarity. This is part of the FREE (Functional Rarity in Ecology and Evolution) working group led by Cyrille Violle in Montpellier France 🧪🌐🌾 emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/U...
Lead by my friend @gabrielmoulatlet.bsky.social and with the artistic contribution of our very own Roberto Ruiz (IG: @rob_rz), following the tradition of classic AmNat papers 🫶
Thanks to our other friends and colleagues Wesley Dáttilo and Daniel Kissling for the collab
Finally out ! We combined interaction network and ecological niche theories under a macroecological lens to show that spp’ network importance (centrality) varies within their climatic niches.

Metal derived from mining are causing widespread effects in the biodiversity. Check our new preprint on the species exposure to metal in the Amazon. More than 65% of all species are exposed to metal contamination, even in remote area.
