Last year we collected leaves in BEF-China to study the patterns of intraspecific variability along a diversity gradient. One year later we're excited to present the first results at #ESA2024 Tomorrow wednesday you can see my talk in OOS30 (room 104B) at 10:00! Ecological Society TreeDì

Trade-offs between averages and intra-individual variation within vegetative, phenological, and floral traits biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_evobio

La línea de Wallace es una frontera biológica con faunas completamente diferentes en un lado y otro. Está relacionado con la glaciación cuaternaria, cuando el Pacífico se encontrase a unos 120 metros por debajo de su nivel actual, lo que generó una importante barrera geográfica.

Today is once again one of those days when I take my bike and cycle through Amsterdam to gather more data on how blue and green infrastructures can help mitigate anthropogenic impacts in urban areas. However, today is a special day because I want to share my experience with you!

👇👇👇👇👇 great PhD!!! don't miss the deadline!

Happy to see this chapter of my thesis published. 🌲🍄🦠Detecting changes in soil properties that could be highlighted as indicators of passive restoration success of abandoned agricultural lands.

A new study reveals that developing new climbing routes is the biggest threat to cliff plants, cutting species richness by nearly 40% 🧗‍♀️ As a result, this study proposes a conservation protocol that regulates climbing and preserve pristine cliffs ⛰️ 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

Interested in vegetation indices? 🛰️🌲🌳 New paper out in Communications Earth & Environment: Temporal dynamics in vertical leaf angles can confound vegetation indices widely used in Earth observations nature.com/articles/s4324… Some spoilers below 👇

🔥New paper out in Science!!🔥 Science Magazine We found that a third of the seed dispersers and interactions face potential extinction, in Europe 🌿🌳🐦‍⬛🦆🌍 This was an incredibly challenging (and rewarding!) chapter of my PhD thesis! #seeddispersal science.org/doi/abs/10.112…

Still time to apply for our PhD positions! Our offer: working on a timely topic in forest ecology and climate change research, in an international lab at a young, ambitious university.

As this trip of 3.5 years is coming to and end and I will (hopefully) submit my dissertation soon, lately I have been drawing leaves and trees for the cover of the dissertation 🌳🍃

📝Our new paper is finally out! If you are interested in how neutral and adaptive evolutionary processes shape the intraspecific differentiation of plants, check it out!! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Ojalá empecemos a entendernos, admitiendo la gravedad de la crisis climática y podamos construir una hoja de ruta que minimice muertes y daños materiales. Sabemos cómo hacerlo. El primer paso es ponernos de acuerdo. Ahora mismo me parece lo más difícil. cadenaser.com/nacional/2024/…

We know that forest diversity influences the trait variation within tree species, so we decided to tell more about these exciting results during the #iDivConference2024 iDiv Biodiversity Research

It was finally time to move to Bluesky 🦋 from now onwards I'll be posting things there, so follow me there if you don't want to miss anything 😉 castretis.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/castre…

It seems that this journey is coming to an end! After many, many, many pages and countless hours working on this, I am quite happy to see my dissertation ready for submission🧾🖊️
