🦉🐦🦢Exploring species richness change across scales! We decomposed it into colonization, extinction, and persistence, and unveils patterns from local to national scales. Thanks to the guidance of @R_you_cereal, we connect theory with ecological processes doi.org/10.1111/ecog.06995

Decomposing biodiversity change to processes of extinction, colonization, and recurrence across...

Temporal biodiversity change involves colonization, extinction, and recurrence of species. These processes vary with spatial grain (i.e. the area at which biodiversity is assessed), but there is...

Shifts in Danish bird communities over the past 40 years are linked to climate & land-use change. Using volunteer bird observations, we found that local species richness fell slightly, abundance dropped 7% per decade, and composition changed rapidly 🐦‍⬛ doi.org/10.1111/oik.10697

Pokles, nebo nárůst biodiverzity? Záleží na velikosti zkoumaných oblastí 🔭 Nesrovnalosti v chápání biodiverzity se pokusili vysvětlit vědci @fzpcz na příkladu unikátních 30 let sbíraných údajů o ptačích populacích v ČR @R_you_cereal @FrsLry 1url.cz/d1HbO @novinkycz

Pokles, nebo naopak nárůst biodiverzity? Záleží na velikosti zkoumaných oblastí - Novinky

Na plácku u domu se rozmanitost ptačích druhů nemění, ve velkém krajinném měřítku narůstá, globálně diverzita klesá. Nesrovnalosti v chápání biodiverzity (různorodosti života) se pokusili vysvětlit...

Does conservation work? Our paper by @rewild shows that it does: a global analysis of 665 trials (incl. several by @RSPBScience) found that conservation improved the state of biodiversity or slowed declines in two-thirds of cases @BirdLife_Sci science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

The blog post about our paper on the resistance and recovery of grasslands under extreme drought is finally out on the blog of @JEcology. Special thanks to @R_you_cereal, who gave the post the right touch to make it enjoyable for a wide audience! #COCOS @MSCActions @kpv_fzp

New preprint: Our attempt to link local individual-level ecological processes (Allee effect, Janzen-Connell hypothesis) with different rates of species loss at different spatial scales (thnx to @adam_t_clark, @FrsLry, @vojta_bartak): biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Should regional species loss be faster, or slower, than local loss? It depends on density-dependent...

Assessment of the rate of species loss, which we also label extinction, is an urgent task. However, the rate depends on spatial grain (average area A ) over which it is assessed—local species loss...

⚠️ Last but not least: out of the 253 species with increasing abundance, 96% show a decrease in recruitment rate as the main process, raising concerns about eventual declines, even for seemingly thriving species 🧵👇

First paper related to my project #COCOS out in @JEcology! We used time-series of plant biomass from the @BExplo_research to assess how biodiversity🌱relates to grassland resistance and recovery under extreme drought🔥 @MSCActions @kpv_fzp doi.org/10.1111/1365-2745.14… More info👇

Biodiversity promotes resistance but dominant species shape recovery of grasslands under extreme...

Plant community functional and taxonomic components determine grasslands resistance and recovery under moderate-to-extreme drought. This points to the importance of designing landscapes with both...
