GIFT – A Global Inventory of Floras and Traits for macroecology and biogeography
bioRxiv, 2019 To understand how traits and evolutionary history shape the geographic distribution of plant life on Earth, we need to integrate high-quality and global-scale distribution data with functional and phylogenetic information.

The future of clay model studies
BMC Zoology, 2018 Background Many intriguing questions about predator-prey interactions can be addressed by using clay models of prey animals. These are placed in the field to test predators’ avoidances or preferences (testing e.g. color or shape) or to gain insights into

Spring Water pH in Forest Catchments Is Modified through Fluctuating Discharge under Climate Change
HydrobiologyOver the course of industrialization in the 20th century, vast emissions of air pollutants have occurred. The exhaust gasses contain sulfur and nitrogen oxides, which are converted to sulfuric acid and nitric acid in the atmosphere. This causes acid rain

Super-regional land-use change and effects on the grassland specialist flora
Nature Communications, 2018 Biodiversity declines can be difficult to attribute to habitat loss at large spatial scales. Here, the authors document land-use change in Sweden at high spatial resolution over 70 years, showing that habitat loss at local and landscape scales is ...
