We conducted a transplantation experiment along a 1000-m elevation gradient in the Alps to quantify changes in plant abundance due to climate warming and how those were predicted by eco-physiological performance versus common morphological traits. We show that while easily measured morphological traits partly predict plant abundance responses to climate, eco-physiological traits are needed to understand the underlying mechanism.

We developed and tested a submersible standalone pumping device allowing targeted marine water filtering to explore the biodiversity of two mesophotic ecosystems using #eDNA metabarcoding, one temperate along the Provence coast in the North-Western Mediterranean Sea and one tropical at the seamount La Pérouse in the Western Indian Ocean.

High resolution ~12,000 years sedimentary DNA from Lake Sulsseewli shows that alpine plant diversity is associated with human land use and climate change.
