🌍💧 🎉 Our new study explores how natural disturbances & connectivity shape aquatic macroinvertebrate communities in Europe's drying river networks.
🗝️ Spatio-temporal connectivity determine community seasonal dynamic under different drying regimes.

New paper out in Ecography. Do you want to know about the seasonal and spatial aspects of Odonata community assembly in three regions of Europe. An awesome collaboration led by Roberto Novella-Fernandez !

Today from #Antarctica, we will look at a third #penguin, the Chinstrap Penguin, Pygoscelis antarcticus. 7/n

A diversity indice question (we love those). How do you calculate beta-diversities when some community samples are empty ?

Has someone somewhere proposed adequate metrics ?

Our article on realistic decomposition is out @NatureEcoEvo

Resolving the intricate role of climate in decomposition

…where we show that decomposition rates of standardised and plot-specific litter are uncorrelated, and lead to contrasted conclusions.

Resolving the intricate role of climate in litter decomposition - Nature Ecology & Evolution

Three complementary decomposition experiments across a climatic gradient in Europe, representing 110 different tree species mixtures in 194 forest plots, reveals that macroclimate is a dominant control on plant litter decomposition through both direct and indirect effects.

Phyllodoce caerulea (blue heath or purple mountain heather) is a characteristic plant of many Low-Arctic and boreal regions but has an especially patchy distribution.

Heaths full of this plant flowering can be often seen from distance due to its spectacular colours.

It has needle-like evergreen leaves and a woody stem. Part of the wide heather family.
