New paper out examining fish food web degradation in the Anthropocene. We show the structure of aquatic food webs are changing-- even when species richness doesn’t. These signals are strongly associated with decreases in body size within fish communities. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🌐🐠🐡🦈🐟

Proud of @emmamarjakangas.bsky.social for showcasing her insights on seed dispersal vulnerability to global change, a key part of her #EcoNet #MSCA project with me at @econovoau.bsky.social.
Take-home: habitat change main driver of vulnerability, but adaptability is high

New paper out! 🐦📊
We realease AVONICHE, a global dataset with detailed information on the proportional use of 32 foraging niches, combining dietary categories with the behaviours and substrates used to access resources.
Openly access the paper and data in GEB: doi.org/10.1111/geb....

Ilmastonmuutos laittaa linnut liikkeelle Euroopan vuoristoissa eivätkä mikroilmasto-olosuhteet puskuroi näitä muutoksia.
Uusi artikkeli on osa @josephinecouet.bsky.social väitöskirjaa, mukana myös @andreasantangeli.bsky.social @aksulehikoinen.bsky.social
Uusi tutkimuksemme: eurooppalaiset linnut siirtyvät vuoristoissa yhä korkeammalle ilmaston lämmetessä. Siirtymät ovat tapahtuneet yhtä nopeasti niin vuorien varjoisilla kuin aurikoisilla rinteillä. Tutkimus on osa @josephinecouet.bsky.social väitöskirjaa @helsinki.fi
