Was a pleasure to attend and present at my first scientific conference #Biology24! 🍁

We're #hiring! Are you an #eDNA enthusiast & a #machinelearning whizz? 👉 Our SEED team is looking for an ecological modeler to determine how best to combine eDNA with other old & new data sources to model species distributions 🌏 Interested? Apply now: jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/JOPG_…

Large language models (LLMs) like #ChatGPT have been the talk of the town. In what ways could we use them for #science & #research? We share 10 rules – 5 safeguards & 5 usage suggestions – for working with LLMs as #scientists in PLOS : doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Early phenology alert at Munich Botanical Garden! 🌿 This year, this Populus suaveolens tree leafed out a full month early, on 24 February—marking a significant shift from its 12-year average of 23 March. #Phenology #ClimateChange.

Food matters: Dietary shifts increase the feasibility of 1.5°C pathways in line with the Paris Agreement science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… #climatechange #carbonemissions #diet #dietarychange #flexitariandiet #plantbased

See the video linked below to get a small glimpse into myself and my work on phenology! 🍃🍂

New study in NatureClimate shows that maintaining a forest cover of > 40% is critical to ensure #seed dispersal mediated by birds – a process key to restore fragmented tropical forests: nature.com/articles/s4155… Carolina Bello Daisy Dent Thomas Crowther University of Exeter UNESP

At #EGU24 and interested in phenology or impacts of climate change on forests? 🍃🍂🌲 Come to the ‘Plant and animal phenology under the pressure of climate change’ session tomorrow 08:30-12:25 in room 0.31/32. I’ll be talking about temperature-driven development at 09:35 🧐

If you’re interested in forests, leaves or alternate stable states and you haven’t already, please check out this new paper by Yibiao Zou. His knowledge and passion is a pleasure to witness!

This infographic is just a small snapshot of a complicated and delicate web of links connecting thousands of species, from inland forests to the deep oceans. Via WWF

Had a wonderful time at the Zurich-Basel Plant Science Center Nachtaktiv event talking to a lot of curious folk about #phenology and why leaves are so important! Thank you to the organisers and everyone who came! 🍃🍂

As part of a team of leading scientists tackling #climatechange, #sustainability & #biodiversity, we present in a new BioScience synthesis that the #ClimateCrisis is intensifying w/ 2024 seeing record-breaking temperatures and extreme weather♨️ academic.oup.com/bioscience/adv…

Out now in NatureEcoEvo! Led by Dr. Lidong Mo & Dr. Constantin Zohner, we studied global wood density variation & its drivers🪵🌍 Our research reveals a latitudinal gradient, whereby wood in the tropics is 30% more dense than in boreal forests. Why? Learn more: doi.org/10.1038/s41559…

🌍 Understanding global ecosystem resilience is vital for effective conservation and climate policy. Our newly published review in Global Change Biology investigates the most widely used indicators of resilience based on Earth Observation data.

The recent report on the Crowther Lab contains factual errors, procedural flaws, and bias. This is the response supported by over 30 current and former lab members: medium.com/@eclarkdoula/r…
