#meetECONOVO - Andrew (Roo) Abraham aka @EcologyRoo joined us earlier this year as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions fellow to work on #zoogeochemistry with @MegafaunaMe. Roo’s research examines how different #wildlifemanagement strategies impact nutrient recycling and redistribution by #megafauna

#meetECONOVO - @EmmaMarjakangas has joined us as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions fellow to study #ecologicalnetworks under #globalchange predicting the network structure & rewiring under varying future scenarios. Emma is broadly interested in species' interactions #functionaltraits & #macroecology

#meetECONOVO - Wu Wanben joined us Aug 2023 for a 2-year postdoc on Horizon Europe 🇪🇺-funded wildE project with Jens Svenning & Robert Buitenwerf. Wanben is passionate about understanding how ecosystems respond to various #naturalclimatesolutions & #rewilding for #climatemitigation

#meetECONOVO - Sean Pang joined us in 2023 as a postdoc on Horizon Europe 🇪🇺-funded wildE project w/Jens Svenning & Robert Buitenwerf. Sean's work is on projecting Pan-European plant biodiversity outcomes across future #ClimateChange #LandUse #LandCover change & #rewilding scenarios

Boonman et al. find that more than 17000 tree species are exposed to increasing anthropogenic threats, including many species classified as data-deficient in the IUCN Red List. Jens Svenning BIOCHANGE ECONOVO - DNRF Center of Excellence Aarhus University nature.com/articles/s4146…

Our center director Jens Svenning giving a talk about #urban #greenspaces to benefit people and #biodiversity in a biogeographic-macroecological perspective at The International Biogeography Society #ibsprague2024 📸@DennisP_Aarhus Danmarks Grundforskningsfond

1/x 🧵 ECONOVO - DNRF Center of Excellence is well-represented at this year's The International Biogeography Society #ibsprague2024 conference. Today we have many of our ECRs on the program in several of the concurrent sessions: Szymon Czyżewski @ 11.15 in the Macroecology session Ninad Mungi @ 11.00 in Invasion biogeography 👇

#meetECONOVO - Szymon Czyżewski joined us Aug 2023 for a #PhD with Jens Svenning to study the effects of large #herbivores on #vegetation & #biodiversity in the temperate forest biome. Szymon’s interests include trophic #rewilding, #botany, #orthoptera, & #ecosystemfunctioning

#meetECONOVO -Niels Mogensen is a PhD student with Robert Buitenwerf & Jens Svenning in collaboration with his employer Mara Predator Conservation Programme in Kenya, where Niels is Senior Program Scientist. His PhD focuses on how anthropogenic activities affect lion density, distribution & space use (1/2)

Happy to see our new study out Science Magazine: Functional traits—not nativeness—shape the effects of large mammalian #herbivores on #plant communities science.org/doi/10.1126/sc….
