Happy to share our latest study in @Ecology_Letters addressing the impact of plant canopies on the climatic disequilibrium of recruit communities across a broad environmental gradient in southern Spain onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/el…. Great collaboration with such an amazing team!

¿Qué significa para una sociedad perder su capacidad de archivar y recuperar críticamente su propio pasado? Es una pregunta urgente, pues con ella se erosiona también nuestra capacidad de comprender el presente y proyectar el futuro.

A new Science study of ants in Fiji—involving genomic sequencing of over 4000 ant specimens from museum collections—shows that most native species have been in decline since humans first arrived in the archipelago 3000 years ago. scim.ag/4nvQXFm

Which non-native plants tend to occupy similar climates at home and far away from home? Read about it at the blog of @JEcology A great collaboration with @MontseVila_Lab @JoanPino12 @YolandaMeleroC & Llorenç Sáez jecologyblog.com/2025/09/04/whi… The paper: doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

A global assessment of the status, trends and gaps of #nonnative (alien, partly #invasive) #species A new #publication with 65 authors from all continents (except Antarctica), 42 article pages and >500 references. Most comprehensive assessment so far. doi.org/10.1111/brv.70…

A Review led by Ninad Mungi and Jens-Christian Svenning explores patterns of alien plant invasions across the Greater Tropics, as well as avenues for recovery and resilience. Web link: bit.ly/4fyFcLo Readcube: bit.ly/3UpN20f

🌱 In our new article led by Luigi Cao Pinna, we show that alien plants in the Mediterranean often shift their niches, i.e. either do not fill or expand their climatic space compared to the native range, partly depending on their traits. 🔗 fulltext: doi.org/10.1111/gcb.70…

Climate change hits fast and erratic, through extremes, not slow trends. In our new TREE paper (led by Lydia Soifer), we discuss what's needed for us to deal with the resulting unpredictable range shifts. Summary: the3dlab.org/2025/07/20/ext… Paper: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🍃Research shows that leaf traits & floral resources are linked, primarily determined by environmental selection, and pollinators have a secondary role. This shows the interconnectedness of vegetative & reproductive traits in plant strategies.🌼@CaFoscari buff.ly/ueQtHkj

Creo que estamos confundiendo a nuestra juventud con una oferta a todas luces excesiva de grados con nombres a cual más atractivo, cuando en realidad deberíamos apostar por grados genéricos y transversales, dejando la especialización para el máster y tesis elpais.com/educacion/2025…
