Interested in the ongoing global ecological transformation & what to do about it? Consider coming to Aarhus Universitet for our conference Ecological Dynamics in a Novel Biosphere ECONOVO - DNRF Center of Excellence conferences.au.dk/ecological-dyn…🌐🦜🌦️🦬🧑‍🤝‍🧑🌿#climatechange #ecology #ecosystems #rewilding #restoration

Interested in #rewilding & #herbivore-#plant interactions - see our synthesis & framework paper Journal of Ecology: Integrating functional #traits into #trophic rewilding science doi.org/10.1111/1365-2… 🐎🪻🦬🌿🐘🌳🐃 Big thx to @joeatkinsonii for leading! 🌼🍃 #megafauna #vegetation

📢 It is out. Our contribution to the Applied Ecology of Fear framework and the development of tools for #wildlife management. Can’t wait to see/read your impressions 🦌🌲🐺🌾

Happy to see two ECONOVO - DNRF Center of Excellence papers on trophic #rewilding & novel #ecosystems in the latest issues of Journal of Ecology & @ Journal of Animal Ecology from British Ecological Society 🍃🦌☘️🌷🐘🐎🐗 - see below

Interested? Check our global meta-analyis on large-herbivore effect on #biodiversity and #ecosystems: Meta-analysis shows that wild large herbivores shape ecosystem properties and promote spatial heterogeneity 🌿🐎🪲🐘🦬🌼🍀 nature.com/articles/s4155… #megafauna #ecology

NEW🦌Our paper authored by leading #Arctic researchers (Robert Björk @BruceForbes4 et al) features the role of #reindeer in preserving #tundra #biodiversity. Herbivory reduces the size of the trophic community & weakens the dominance of shrubs over forbs doi.org/10.1111/oik.10…

Interested in ecosystem #restoration? Check our new paper on trophic #rewilding as a restoration approach under emerging novel #biosphere conditions (#climatechange & #globalization), recently published in Current Biology cell.com/current-biolog… 🌿🐎🌼🐃🦋🪻🪲🐘🌦🌍 #ecosystems

Interested in #carnivores or #mammals? Check our new database of #carnivore functional traits including both extinct & recently #extinct species GEB Journal🦁🐯🐅🐻‍❄️🦝🦊🐺🐆onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ge… #macroecology - big thx to Eamonn Wooster & Owen Middleton for leading🐺🐯

Large native #herbivores aren’t better for local #plants than introduced species (but functional #traits explain the differing effects across species) - see our global study in Science Magazine early this year ECONOVO - DNRF Center of Excellence Aarhus Universitet nat.au.dk/en/about-the-f… 🐂🦌🐃🌿🌎 #megafauna

Thrilled to be a postdoc at The Arctic University of Norway and getting to experience these stunning landscapes with my family! UiT Norges arktiske universitet

So cool that our latest article, the effects of #reindeer #herbivory on #Arctic food webs, is featured on the cover of this month’s Oikos issue. Have a look at this month’s content 🦌🗻🌱🐛 nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/16000706/2…

... and that's a wrap! Had a successfully final CHARTER Project meeting in stunning #Rovaniemi. Presented my research on #herbivore co-occurrences & habitat preferences across the #Arctic, witnessed cutting edge research projects & extended my network with inspiring researchers!

Couldn’t think of a better team!

There’s a surge of interest in #microclimate & #microenvironment + how they shape #vegetation & #PlantEcology🌿My 1999 PhD work tackled this - how fine-scale variation in canopy dynamics, topography etc drives palm ecology in tropical #forests - see: researchgate.net/publication/22…🌴🌤️🌴

I’m also in Bluesky and would like to keep contact with all of you who are migrating from X. Add me :) bsky.app/profile/juanig…

Our latest study, led by Peter Groenendijk, presents a network of 492 tropical tree-ring chronologies to explore climate sensitivity & reconstruct past climate! 🌎🌳With species distribution modeling, we pinpoint new regions for tree-ring research. doi.org/10.1016/j.quas…

Check our work on the need to consider #conservation value of introduced populations (focusing on #mammals in this analysis) conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…🐪🐰🐂 #alienspecies #globalization #introducedspecies

🌍 Excited to share our new study, led by Isabel Barrio & a fantastic team, on Arctic herbivores & their role in ecosystem resilience. We highlight 8 research + 8 management priorities for the next decade. A roadmap for a changing Arctic! ❄️🦌 Herbivory Network doi.org/10.1139/as-202…
