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-dynโฆ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๏ธ๐ฆฌ๐งโ๐คโ๐ง๐ฟ#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/10.1111/1365-2โฆ ๐๐ชป๐ฆฌ๐ฟ๐๐ณ๐ Big thx to @joeatkinsonii for leading! ๐ผ๐ #megafauna #vegetation
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 ๐๐ฆโ๏ธ๐ท๐๐๐ - 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 ๐ฟ๐๐ชฒ๐๐ฆฌ๐ผ๐ nature.com/articles/s4155โฆ #megafauna #ecology
NEW๐ฆOur paper authored by leading #Arctic researchers (Robert Bjรถrk @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.10โฆ

Large native #herbivores arenโt 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-fโฆ ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฟ๐ #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
... 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!
Thereโs a surge of interest in #microclimate & #microenvironment + how they shape #vegetation & #PlantEcology๐ฟMy 1999 PhD work tackled this - how fine-scale variation in canopy dynamics, topography etc drives palm ecology in tropical #forests - see: researchgate.net/publication/22โฆ๐ด๐ค๏ธ๐ด
Our latest study, led by Peter Groenendijk, presents a network of 492 tropical tree-ring chronologies to explore climate sensitivity & reconstruct past climate! ๐๐ณWith species distribution modeling, we pinpoint new regions for tree-ring research. doi.org/10.1016/j.quasโฆ
๐ 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! โ๏ธ๐ฆ Herbivory Network doi.org/10.1139/as-202โฆ
