The last paper of my PhD is finally out! "Major axes of variation in tree demography across global forests" many thanks to the 50+ co-authors who made this study possible! special thanks to my mentors PI Prado, Lisa Hülsmann, SeanMcMahon, Marco Visser doi.org/10.1111/ecog.0…
..."we illustrate how (i) multidimensional intraspecific niche variation and (ii) the spatiotemporal context of interactions between conspecifics scale up to shape emergent patterns of the population niche." 📊..paper by Raul Costa Pereira: buff.ly/45i46Kc
Is fragmentation bad or good for biodiversity? Yes! We use a classical competition-colonization metacommunity model to show that fragmentation can increase or decrease diversity depending on the total amount of habitat in the landscape. iDiv Biodiversity Research Universität Halle (inaktiv) nature.com/articles/s4155…
