🧵1/ New paper out in @EcographyJourna! We looked at temperate deciduous forests across North America, West Eurasia, and East Eurasia, three regions that share ancient roots but have been separated for millions of years. What does that long breakup mean for today’s biodiversity?

Although the success of such crossbreeding depends on genetic compatibility between plants and cannot always be guaranteed, this discovery demonstrates that interploid crossbreeding may be a way to create new, viable forms of ginkgo.

Our botanists discovered "flowering" tetraploid ginkgo tree with four sets of chromosomes. Using pollen from this plant, they performed controlled crossbreeding with common diploid female plants and obtained new triploid plants—the first in this species. https://t.co/EYVBoaCmcc

Our new paper in Ecology Letters, led by Jan Divíšek, shows that non-invasive alien plant species that establish in local plant communities tend to resemble the resident native species. In contrast, invasive alien species usually differ from native plants. https://t.co/VvfXy6WaJr

The first European classification of vegetation in seasonally drained salt lakes, led by Svitlana Iemelianova from our Vegetation Science Group, supported by an MSCA4Ukraine grant. Our findings will change the standard European vegetation classification. https://t.co/IHhyLGz2BR

In our new article (Midolo et al., Ecology Letters), we show that plant species richness in European plant communities generally decreased between the 1960s and 1980s. However, since the 1990s, this trend seems to have stopped or even reversed. https://t.co/ieQk0M6RCh

Unmanaged forests are the backbone of biodiversity conservation. Efforts needed to increase structural features (old trees, deadwood, patchiness) also in managed forests.

New study in which our colleagues were involved shows that landscapes with ≈ 60 % unmanaged forests + 40 % intensively managed forests maximise multitaxonomic biodiversity (birds, plants, fungi, lichens, etc.). Read more 👀: https://t.co/QVrwNZsFnK

Our hydrobiologists have been involved in research in the #H2020 #DRYvER project, revealing how drying rivers will affect aquatic life up to 2100. Find out why connecting river reaches is key to returning life to drying streams. https://t.co/SGTZZZ8nQT

Importantly, the number of species and the occurrence of rare zooplankton species increased significantly in wetlands with historical continuity.

Our hydrobiologists observed ephemeral wetlands on arable land which belong to of the last fish-free aquatic habitats that have the potential to serve as refugia for regionally rare zooplankton species. What did they found: https://t.co/L0E3vKhMfL
