Point of no returns: researchers are crossing a threshold in the fight for funding With so little money to go round, the costs of competing for grants can exceed what the grants are worth. When that happens, nobody wins.

Two Decades of Community Responses Reveal a Consistent Increase in Species Occurrences in South‐Eastern Pacific Rocky Shores Aim Understanding how diverse communities respond to environmental fluctuations is a central challenge in ecology. Here, we assessed how communities responded to environmental variation over the pas...

🌎 Experiments are central to understanding community dynamics, yet their use is declining.
We're trying to understand why.
If you work in community ecology, we'd really appreciate your input in a quick survey (<5 mins).

Check out our new preprint. In this review we show the comparative decline of experimental approaches in community ecology and discuss some alternatives to push the field forward

Academy Research Fellow Minna Hiltunen aims to reconstruct what Finland’s lakes were like before browning of waters alarmingly accelerated decades ago. With a unique paleolimnological research method she will is analyze the resting eggs of water fleas buried within the sediments.

One of my favorite moments from last week at #OIKOSFin2025
with Cristian N. Waggershayser, Mathew Leibold, and @jeremycours.bsky.social

We enjoyed ending #OIKOSFin2025 with an academic writing workshop by Marc Abernathy and Carlos Aguilar! And if you’re now wondering how to get your newly improved paper published, did you know that the NSO can give publishing workshops and insights on our very own journals? 🤩

Events like this require a lot of organising effort, a lot of stressful work, so I want to share photos of the team that made the conference happen

I was officiall photographer for Oikos Finland 2025 Conference! Four day full-time photoshoot.
My fingers hurt from holding camera, but it was so much fun! Thanks to the organisers of @oikosfinland.bsky.social for choosing me as a photographer, especially to @pauliarancibia.bsky.social!

A great conference dinner and party evening at Oikos Finland 2025 ! We would like to thank the organisers for this fantastic event filled with research and networking and attracting 400+ scientists to @uniofjyvaskyla.bsky.social @oikosfinland.bsky.social

Now! Nerea Abrego explains how to account for intraspecific trait variation in HMSC

Super cool talk by @jeremycours.bsky.social about the effects of landscape heterogeneity on forest birds diversity

Jenna Rönttinen presenting her poster at #OIKOSFin2025 !

Her work focused on the effects of landscape clearcut accumulation over time on Finnish breeding birds. 🐦 One of main results is that old-growth forest specialists are not affected by short term but 📉 due to 20 yrs accumulation!

Stay tuned 🦉

Now, Mathew Leibold’s keynote at #OIKOSFin2025

@oikosfinland.bsky.social

Happening now!

Changes in abundance and distribution of European forest bird populations depend on biome, ecological specialisation and traits Forest bird abundance in Europe has remained stable overall, unlike farmland species which have declined dramatically in recent decades. However, this apparent stability may hide large variations amo...

🚨New paper🚨

We studied how traits & eco. specialisations of forest birds species 🦉 have affected their abundances and distributions in Europe over the last 40 yrs.

Among others, we found a significant 📉 of boreal species, especially the ones related to mixed forests. 🌳🌲
