Yesterday REC met with its Advisory Board for the first time in this 3rd phase of the work. Among the aims of the workshop: to present current main themes in REC, and think of ways to better bridge work done inside and outside of Academia to drive significant positive change.

My interview is out now in Current Biology, thank you for this opportunity to share my career track and research interests. Please see below my thoughts on advice to early career researchers and what I think the public should know about my field. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

In this week's REC seminar, Ilaria Pia, a PhD student in the Environmental and Ecological Statistics group, presented her work on robust count models.

It has been an amazing week! Happy everyone enjoyed it 😀

Our latest paper with Elina Kaarlejärvi, Malcolm Itter et al. is now published: doi.org/10.1002/ecy.43… We extended JSDMs to predict trait distributions to Infer ecological selection from multidimensional community trait distributions along environmental gradients

Hieno juttu meidän hankkeesta joka yhdessä viljelijöiden kanssa tutkii sitä, kuinka biodiversiteetti voi auttaa viljelijää suojelemaan kasveja tuholaisilta ja taudeilta sekä edistämään maaperän kuntoa 💚 Hanna Susi Baltic Sea Action Group Sitra Research Centre For Ecological Change yle.fi/a/74-20100355

Our study led by Elina Kaarlejärvi identifying mode of community assembly following disturbance using multidimensional trait data is available online now 🥳 esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… Ecological Society Jarno Vanhatalo Luonnonvarakeskus Research Centre For Ecological Change
