Nämä kiipeilijät ovat viihdyttäneet ohikulkijoita @nathist.bsky.social edessä jo pari viikkoa.
Teos muistuttaa siitä miten lajit siirtyvät ylemmäksi vuoristossa #ilmastonmuutos takia: tänään puolustettavan @josephinecouet.bsky.social väitöskirjan perusteella nopeus on n 1 m/vuosi. @helsinki.fi

Climate change drives Europe's mountain birds further uphill Many bird species have moved towards colder areas in the mountains of Europe as the climate has warmed over the past two decades.

A new study has examined the response of mountain-dwelling birds across Europe to climate change:

Linnut siirtyvät korkeammalle vuoristoissa ilmaston lämmetessä | Helsingin yliopisto Monet lintulajit ovat siirtyneet Euroopan vuoristoissa kohti kylmempiä lakiosia samalla kun ilmasto on lämmennyt viimeisen kahden vuosikymmenen aikana. Aurinkoiset etelärinteet houkuttelevat lintuja e...

Ilmastonmuutos laittaa linnut liikkeelle Euroopan vuoristoissa eivätkä mikroilmasto-olosuhteet puskuroi näitä muutoksia.

Uusi artikkeli on osa @josephinecouet.bsky.social väitöskirjaa, mukana myös @andreasantangeli.bsky.social @aksulehikoinen.bsky.social

Uusi tutkimuksemme: eurooppalaiset linnut siirtyvät vuoristoissa yhä korkeammalle ilmaston lämmetessä. Siirtymät ovat tapahtuneet yhtä nopeasti niin vuorien varjoisilla kuin aurikoisilla rinteillä. Tutkimus on osa @josephinecouet.bsky.social väitöskirjaa @helsinki.fi

Global change reshuffles species communities: who could interact with whom? We introduce new ways to measure the capacity of species & communities to rewire interactions, which can be used to predict how ecological networks might adapt to changing conditions.
