Beautiful memories! Fantastic course!

Great initiative! Please count me in!

Quantifying the influence of intraspecific variability in trait spaces - npj Biodiversity npj Biodiversity - Quantifying the influence of intraspecific variability in trait spaces

Working with individual trait data and functional trait spaces and bored about means?

With @cpcarmona.bsky.social, Agnese Bissi and @etordoni.bsky.social, we put together a perspective to test the effect of individual observations on trait space properties 👇👇

Very proud of Nicola!! Or better, Dr. Pavanetto!! It has been a beautiful journey together with lots of fantastic moments! Good luck for your future Nicola!

It is always a great pleasure @physaliacourses.bsky.social! Thank to you and to all the participants!

ITV-net: leveraging intraspecific trait variability to bridge vegetation science and trait-based research in Italy Vegetation science is a branch of community ecology that relies on species identities and abundance to classify vegetation in coherent units and to explore species coexistence and turnover dynamics.

The ‘manifesto’ of our initiative is out in @vegecoldiv.bsky.social! If you have itv-level data and you want to share them read the paper and dm me!

Great collaborative effort from the Italian community! Freely available empirical data for SLA and LA measured at the individual level for hundreds of species from all across the Italian peninsula! Data are also georeferenced and coupled with plot level info (e.g. cover)! 🌐

ITV-net: a dataset of intraspecific leaf traits data across major Italian habitats Over the last decades plant ecology has greatly benefited from open data on functional traits. Nowadays, several national and international trait databases are available, but trait data from Southe...

📢 ITV-net: the first Italian database on #PlantFunctionalTraits with #IntraspecificTraitVariability 🌱

ITV-net includes over 8,500 leaf trait records (LA/SLA) for 709 plant species across 8 Italian habitats, from coastal dunes to alpine grasslands.

Time to leave beautiful Seville!

Finally going back to my country to start a new position as assistant professor at the University of Trieste!

Sad, though, to leave this fantastic group of people that always made me feel home! Thanks a lot!

Exciting times ahead!

Figure 1 from the study by Champreux et al. (published in Ecological Monographs) showing four global biome maps using different biome-delimitation criteria resulting in various geographic divisions, biome names, and number of biomes. Caption from the study: Global biome maps compared in this study. (a) Compilation biome map of World Wildlife Fund Terrestrial Ecoregions of the World (Olson et al., 2001). (b) Simulated biome map from Holdridge's (1967) life zones (Leemans, 1990a, 1990b) and two functional biome maps: (c) MODIS-IGBP land-cover-type product (Friedl et al., 2010; Loveland & Belward, 1997) and (d) dominant biome distribution over 31 years from global functional biome scheme from Higgins et al. (2016, 2017). Biome names are derived from three letters (1) tall versus short, (2) low, medium, and high vegetation productivity index, and (3) cold, dry, both cold and dry, nonseasonal for growth limitation index.

What is a #biome? 🌳🌲🌱

How can we delineate past, present and future biomes, despite the patchy and incomplete data we have on the distribution of nature on Earth? 🌍🌐
