Our new study: Species Richness Gradients Vary Across Phylogenetic Scales led by Antonin Machac and David Storch now published in GEB. We show that species richness gradients in young clades differ, whereas older clades converge on similar gradients. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

General ecosystem models (GEMs) have been framed as the ‘climate model’ equivalents for nature, but while the latter have been continuously improved and diversified for several decades already, the f...

Spannender Artikel (Paywall) von @christianschwaegerl.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy in der @faznet.bsky.social zur Diskussion über das Insektensterben & die Krefeld-Studie. U.a. mit Argumenten von @sebseibold.bsky.social @florianhartig.bsky.social & Jens Dauber vom @thuenen.de.

Insektensterben: Warum Studien immer wieder kritisiert werden
An Studien, die nach den Ursachen für das Insektensterben suchen, wird viel Kritik geübt. Wie erklären Forscher, dass es unterschiedlichen Interpretationen gibt - und worin sind sich alle einig?

In Nature, Delavaux et al., 2024 suggest that species richness on oceanic islands is reduced by mutualism rates on the mainland. In arxiv.org/abs/2411.15105, @maximilianpichler.bsky.social and I had another look at this question and conclude that this effect is likely a statistical artefact.

Is there a robust effect of mainland mutualism rates on species richness of oceanic islands?
In island biogeography, it is widely accepted that species richness on island depends on the area and isolation of the island as well as the species pool on the mainland. Delavaux et al. (2024) sugges...
