What an honour! 😊 🤩 I realised that the famous data platform "Our World in Data" has now our data set of first records of alien species on their platform. I use this platform quite a lot and I am happy and proud to find our data set there 🤩 ourworldindata.org/grapher/global…
Super, wenn kenntnisreiche Wissenschaftler Prioritäten so klar formulieren, wie @FranzEssl1 @derStandardat: derstandard.at/story/30000002…
1️⃣ 🌍 Fresh out in #Science! The Asian tropics are among the most biodiverse places on Earth, but where does all that diversity come from? 🤔🔍 We used 🌴 phylogenomics and 🦴 new fossils to unravel the roles of different regions in generating and distributing species! #Evolution

Are acoustic indices useful? Acoustic indices are increasingly used to analyse bioacoustics data, but many studies correlate indices only with single species richness (e.g., birds) and flag inconsistent performance.
What a spectacular discovery! publish.csiro.au/bt/Fulltext/BT…

🌍🌱 It’s often believed that plant communities with greater phylogenetic diversity also have higher functional diversity. In other words, the more evolutionary lineages present, the greater the range of traits. But is this always true? 🌿 In our Preslia article last year, led by…
