📣 New paper 📣 Published in @jappliedecology.bsky.social, we investigated 🔍 the cascading effects of forest stand decline 🍁 on saproxylic beetle communities via the changes in deadwood and TreMs substrates. doi.org/10.1111/1365...

¿Sabías que los proyectos de becarios generan réditos de >US$500M anuales que nadie conoce ni mide? Mary Valdés, presidenta de SICh, explica en El Mercurio por qué urge medir bien la retribución y dejar de ignorar las propuestas de la comunidad.

Long overdue, but the main results of my metacommunity experiment are finally out! Different aspects of spatial network structure shape ecological dynamics at different scales—connectivity boosts biomass overall, but locally it can do the opposite. 🔬🧫🌐

With so little money to go round, the costs of competing for grants can exceed what the grants are worth. When that happens, nobody wins. go.nature.com/49fOOrP

📣 New paper out 🌊 Happy to share our work exploring how intertidal communities have responded to 23 years of changing sea-surface temps. along the Humboldt upwelling system. A great collab between researchers in Chile 🇨🇱 and Finland 🇫🇮 🌐🌎 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Check out our new preprint. In this review we show the comparative decline of experimental approaches in community ecology and discuss some alternatives to push the field forward

Academy Research Fellow Minna Hiltunen aims to reconstruct what Finland’s lakes were like before browning of waters alarmingly accelerated decades ago. With a unique paleolimnological research method she will is analyze the resting eggs of water fleas buried within the sediments. 🔎 r.jyu.fi/GbU

🚨 the abstract submission and registration deadline for the Protistology in the Nordics meeting has been extended! 🚨 If you study, work, or just love protists, consider attending this meeting (free for ECRs!) www.jyu.fi/en/events/pr...

🚀🚀

I’m thrilled to finally share our new dataset paper-years in the making! This has been an incredible rewarding project, and it was a true pleasure to work with such an amazing team of researchers. Huge thanks to supported by @idiv for the support www.nature.com/articles/s41...

If you study or work with protists, consider attending the Protistology in the Nordics (PiN) meeting in Jyväskylä this May. Abstract submission is open! www.jyu.fi/en/events/pr...

One of my favorite moments from last week at #OIKOSFin2025 with Cristian N. Waggershayser, Mathew Leibold, and @jeremycours.bsky.social

We enjoyed ending #OIKOSFin2025 with an academic writing workshop by Marc Abernathy and Carlos Aguilar! And if you’re now wondering how to get your newly improved paper published, did you know that the NSO can give publishing workshops and insights on our very own journals? 🤩

Events like this require a lot of organising effort, a lot of stressful work, so I want to share photos of the team that made the conference happen

I was officiall photographer for Oikos Finland 2025 Conference! Four day full-time photoshoot. My fingers hurt from holding camera, but it was so much fun! Thanks to the organisers of @oikosfinland.bsky.social for choosing me as a photographer, especially to @pauliarancibia.bsky.social!

A great conference dinner and party evening at Oikos Finland 2025 ! We would like to thank the organisers for this fantastic event filled with research and networking and attracting 400+ scientists to @uniofjyvaskyla.bsky.social @oikosfinland.bsky.social

Now! Nerea Abrego explains how to account for intraspecific trait variation in HMSC #OIKOSFin2025

Super cool talk by @jeremycours.bsky.social about the effects of landscape heterogeneity on forest birds diversity #OIKOSFin2025

Jenna Rönttinen presenting her poster at #OIKOSFin2025 ! Her work focused on the effects of landscape clearcut accumulation over time on Finnish breeding birds. 🐦 One of main results is that old-growth forest specialists are not affected by short term but 📉 due to 20 yrs accumulation! Stay tuned 🦉

Now, Mathew Leibold’s keynote at #OIKOSFin2025 @oikosfinland.bsky.social

Happening now! Keynote speaker Anita Narwani sharing her super cool work at #OIKOSFin2025

Here are some snaps of #OIKOSFin2025 day 1 :) @oikosfinland.bsky.social

New attendance record at Oikos Finland conference this year. We've got a full house! #OIKOSFin2025

A great start to the #OIKOSFin2025 conference with a JSDM workshop. Now we can all HMSC like Otso Ovaskainen 💻📈 🌐

🚨New paper🚨 We studied how traits & eco. specialisations of forest birds species 🦉 have affected their abundances and distributions in Europe over the last 40 yrs. Among others, we found a significant 📉 of boreal species, especially the ones related to mixed forests. 🌳🌲 🍁🌐🌍🧪 tinyurl.com/mppjr6uu

🚨 10 Days Until Stand Up for Science, and some HUGE NEWS! - Take Action With Us! 🚨 We’re excited to announce 32 official Stand Up for Science events happening across the country on March 7th! 🧵⬇️

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii. @noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

🚨 new paper alert 🚨 Super excited to share the first PredCom paper from the experiment in Lake Konnevesi. Domenica brilliantly led this collaborative effort where even the most math-oriented members of our group participated in the fieldwork 💪🏼 🌬️ 🍄 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirec...

Global bioacoustics dataset ! 🎶🦜 WABAD, the World Annotated Bird Acoustic Dataset 5,044 min of annotated bird vocalizations, 1,147 species, 70 sites 🌍 across 27 countries & 13 biomes Open-access for AI training & conservation research 👉 by C. Pérez-Granados et al. doi.org/10.21203/rs.... 🌐🧪🌍🦤🪶

Malin Pinsky @ucsantacruz.bsky.social led a cross realm analysis of biodiversity time series, which finds faster turnover when temperature changes faster. Turnover was higher wothout microclimate refugia & in ecosystems already affected by humans. rdcu.be/d7W2K @hifmb.de @icbm-uol.bsky.social

🚨 New publication 📣 In this paper, with C. Bouget, we crossed 2 European databases and found that among other environmental predictor (e.g., tree age 🧓, altitude 🏔️...), forest dieback is a significant deadwood producer. Declining patches can be use for deadwood restoration. 🧪🌍🍁🌐 tinyurl.com/3c4v4wu9
