Basile Finand @basilefinand.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Happy to share the final paper from my PhD thesis at @ieesparis.bsky.social @sorbonne-universite.fr, now published in @peercomjournal.bsky.social 🐜 ! In parks and forests across the Paris region, urbanisation and habitat loss favour thermophilic and monogynous ant species. doi.org/10.24072/pcj...doi.org Urbanisation and habitat loss favour thermophilic and monogynous ant species 021
Reposted by Basile FinandPaul Savary @psavary.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Can metacommunity theory help understand the drivers of urban ant communities and their traits? 🐜🏙️ Check out the study by @basilefinand.bsky.social et al., recently recommended in PCI Ecology: doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Reposted by Basile FinandTerrestrial Ecology Research Group - TUM @terrecolgroup.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Recently, @basilefinand.bsky.social joined our team to strengthen the @bexplo.bsky.social team. This morning, he gave us a broad overview of his past work on effects of habitat fragmentation on ants and carabids. We are certain Basile's skills will be very useful in the years ahead! Nice work :). 041
Basile Finand @basilefinand.bsky.social · 08/12/2025New paper out in Landscape Ecology! 🥳 This is my first publication as a postdoc at @helsinki.fi, examining how local forest heterogeneity shapes carabid beetle communities. 🪲 🔗 doi.org/10.1007/s109...doi.orgPerceived urban microhabitat heterogeneity impacts carabid beetle communities - Landscape EcologyContext The habitat heterogeneity hypothesis predicts that increased environmental heterogeneity promotes biodiversity by providing more niches. However, few studies have examined whether human percep... 070
