"New research finds that a warming climate could flip globally abundant microbial communities from carbon sinks to carbon emitters, potentially triggering climate change tipping points. The findings are published in Functional Ecology."

Evidence that mandatory #double-blind #review improves #fairness during peer review processes: it reduces geographic and language #biases!
Well done! @Callomac et al.

New lab paper alert:

Trait-based ecology is not yet predictive because
the proliferation of new metrics muddied the waters.
Where others zig, we zag.
We propose testing old theories with new data...1/3

I just joined this server, so I'm redoing an intro:
Hi! I'm Amandine, a French-Costarican biologist living in Mexico. Right now I'm doing a postdoc on functional diversity of trees, climate change effects and ecosystem services. I'm interested in plants, insects, GIS, statistics mainly with R and writing. I plan to tooth mainly in English but occasionally also in Spanish or French #introductions #rstats #gis #biodiversity #FunctionalEcology #plants #insects #EcosistemServices #mexico #CostaRica

We propose testing old theories with new data.

We advocate for the ubiquitous power law and argue environmental variability in space and time fundamentally shapes trait variation.

Keep an eye out for Umaña led paper where we provide an empirical test.

Bird extinctions threaten to cause disproportionate reductions of functional diversity and uniqueness.

A new comprehensive study of 9943 (>99%) living bird species by Ali (https://twitter.com/notazookeeper) et al. https://rb.gy/n2eh91 published in Functional Ecology shows that bird species with a unique combination of traits face the highest risk of extinction which could undermine the functioning and resilience of ecosystems.

To improve the implementation and testing of trait-based theory, we clarify four mechanistic steps needed to scale from traits to ecosystems. These steps are based on core trait-based theory. Taken together, these steps explicitly detail the linkages between the environment, traits, communities, and ecosystem functioning #TraitBasedEcology #Traits #FunctionalEcology #Scaling #Ecosystem (3/n)
