New paper out Ecology Letters! Intraspecific variability of leaf form and function across habitat types co-lead with Enrico Tordoni The first output of a collaborative network research idea conceived by early career researchers! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/el…

PhD programs are primarily about training students. Current paradigm of having lots of papers at a PhD stage must change. Students should get the best possible & focused training (up-to-date, useful & engaging courses). Papers should not count when they compete for first postdoc

Do spectral structures obtained from multispectral images mirror the functional ones? If you work with remote sensing and are interested in a common framework for relating functional and spectral diversity across scales, check out our new work 🌿🛰️onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

🚨Hot from the press our new study on GEB Journal showing global patterns and determinants of multiple facets of plant diversity. A fantastic collaborative effort with Macroecology UT Carlos Perez Carmona Dr. Aurèle Toussaint Riin Tamme onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Our integrative approach proved more sensitive in describing global species diversity patterns. Few areas on Earth host high and unique proportions of multiple diversity facets and individual diversity facets contribute differently to multifaceted diversity across continents.

We are reopening a search for a postdoc in my group. I am looking for a curious person with an interest in plant-soil / plant-insect interactions to join our large and diverse team (research-groups.usask.ca/bennett-lab). 1/4

PhD position announcement: please share! Interested in joining the amazing FutureScapes team University of Tartu for lab challenges and fieldwork? Fully financed 4y position open on carbon accumulation in soil and dead wood under changing climate, with fungi in focus. w/Ivika Ostonen

Intraspecific variation could impact competitive interaction among species. Yang et al. show that higher intraspecific variation in seedling traits & performance may enable competitively inferior plant species to coexist with competitively superior species nature.com/articles/s4146…

[new paper] Multilayer diffusion networks as a tool to assess the structure and functioning of fine grain sub-specific plant–pollinator networks nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/oi… by Alfonso Allen-Perkins et al. A very cool approach I'd love to see it used in other systems.

🌟After a long study, we found that competition induced higher intraspecific trait variability in inferior species than superior species. Big thanks to my collaborative mentors, Prof. Guochun Shen and Carlos P. Carmona, for their guidance and partnership.

Finally dug into this and I really have to commend the authors on building something that works right out of the box. It was intuitive, simple, and useful - great package. Will be incorporating this into my teaching as well!

Even after migrating. Anguish, stress, and a lot of time and energy invested to obtain an extension of the residence permit to be able to finish the PhD. Cambio de regulaciones… lamentablemente las guerras incentivan el nacionalismo 😕

We're very excited to have Carlos Perez Carmona join the 'tree of professors' at the Department of Botany of University of Tartu as he was elected as a full professor of functional ecology! macroecology.ut.ee/en/professor-o…

Excited to share our new study in Ecology Letters! We explored how different environmental realms (land, air, water) shape the worldwide diversity of mammalian life history strategies 🐯🦇🐳 Check more here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… Pol Rob Salguero-Gómez Carlos Perez Carmona

Very happy to see this paper published! If you’re interested in trait-based ecology, you should follow Eleonora Beccari; she’s going to be a superstar 🌟

🌳Very happy to join the TraitDivNet project with the best team - agRobles & Víctor Valenzuela Polo . Nice days in the lab/field 🌿🔎
