Yesterday we shared the paper. Today I want to share the story behind it. We thought it was all about climate change. Then the models failed. That failure eventually led us to disturbances, and to a very different view of Europe’s flora. Read it @ communities.springernature.com/posts/europe...

Almost every European plant species is out of equilibrium. Climate change is only part of the story—disturbance greatly shapes where species actually occur. 🚨Our new paper 🌱in @natecoevo.nature.com analysed 3,047 species across >1.1M European vegetation plots. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I am so proud of this paper ⬇️ recently published in PNAS 🤩 Four years in the making and countless computing hours to get bioclimatic velocities from species distribution models #SDMs that were tailored to each species and study from which we extracted empirical estimates of species range shift rates

Climate niche models underestimate the speed with which species move in response to climate change, according to comparisons between the models and observed shifts for more than 3,500 species. Median rates were four times faster than predicted. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/Mokn50YCqty

After 4yr of hard work to compare empirical species range positions' shifts from the #BioShifts DB against predictions from niche-based models trained on climate & tailored to methodological attributes of each species & study, we found species shift ahead of models' predictions! 🦋 shorturl.at/vOmCw

Des espèces se déplacent jusqu’à quatre fois plus vite que ne l’anticipent les modèles climatiques : c'est ce que démontre une nouvelle étude, avec l'implication de @jonlen.bsky.social #EDYSAN. @upjv-univ.bsky.social

Genetic diversity matters for species on the move in response to climate change ⬇️ We found that genetic diversity interacts w/ the velocity of climate change to explain the velocity at which species shift their range positions over time shorturl.at/682E3

Does genetic diversity help species keep up with, or tolerate, climate change? 🌡️🌍 Our new BioShifts paper shows that high genetic diversity 🧬: 1) Reduces range contractions under fast warming 2) Accelerates range expansion under moderate warming onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The thermophilisation rate of plant communities in response to global warming is 5 times faster on alpine summits than in forests or grasslands across 🇪🇺 This finding corroborates former findings on the greater likelihood for upslope than poleward range shifts of plants 🌳🌲☘️🌾🪻🌼 shorturl.at/gc0TJ
