#Communiqué 🗞️ En 2050, la majorité des écosystèmes insulaires seront menacés par les changements globaux : 65% principalement par le changement climatique, 22% par les changements d’usages des terres, 13% par les invasions biologiques. 🏝️

Most vascular plants' distribition are in disequilibrium w/ current climates, w/ species ranges best predicted by climatic conditions 10-18 yrs before sampling, especially so for closed-canopy species 🌳🌳🌲🌲
➡️ Lagging dynamics or microclimatic processes ?

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.

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.

This year, at IAVS 2026 in Gijón, I am presenting a new version of my poster, also handmade and painted in watercolor! 🎨
Thank you to everyone who came to see it and for all your very positive feedback, it's very motivating! 😊

Using numerous (n = 57390) & long, up to 100 yrs, time series of vegetation resurveys, from the #ReSurveyEurope database, we found local species richness (alpha-diversity) to increase by 0.2% per yr, associated with gains in functional & phylogenetic diversity ⬇️

Important work, led by Stephan Kambach, which reconciles some of the conflicting narratives on local biodiversity changes in favour of a more nuanced understanding 🙏👍
I am especially proud to be part of this work given that I had the chance to work w/ Stephan, a long time ago, back in 2013, when he did an intership as a master student in our lab #EDYSAN 🤩 We even managed to publish a really cool paper from his internship work in Amiens

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! 🦋

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
Genetic diversity shapes climate-driven species redistribution:
🚨Genetic diversity slows species range shifts, especially at the trailing edge and under rapid climate change—consistent with the evolutionary rescue hypothesis.
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
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 🌳🌲☘️🌾🪻🌼
