New publication – Anatomical constraints to nonstomatal diffusion conductance and photosynthesis in lycophytes and bryophytes
Text by Kristiina Mark Bryophytes – polyphyletic group consisting liverworts, hornworts and mosses – and lycophytes (also known as ‘fern allies’) are considered the earliest living relatives to ancient land plants that first migrated from aquatic environment to land. Both, … Continue reading →
Two more global citizen science networks calling for participants – FunLeaf and FunHome
Last week we had a post about DarkDivNet, a global network to explore the dark diversity of plant communities, instigated by Meelis Pärtel´s macroecology workgroup in the University of Tartu. Now the Natural History Museum in Tartu, led by Urmas … Continue reading →
DarkDivNet – Call for participants
DarkDivNet is a global network to explore the dark diversity of plant communities. Why are some species present and others absent in a locality? To answer this central ecological and biogeographical question, we have to explore biodiversity at different spatial … Continue reading →
New paper published – Background invertebrate herbivory on dwarf birch (Betula glandulosa-nana complex) increases with temperature and precipitation across the tundra biome
Text by C. Guillermo Bueno Invertebrate herbivory in the tundra is prevalent and sensitive to climate change. Recent studies have shown that biotic interactions influence macroecological patterns and global dynamics, stressing the need to consider them outside local or regional … Continue reading →
