🌊 Baltic Fucus vesiculosus faces major climate threats, but its genetic diversity holds the key to adaptation. #MARFOR (#BiodivDynamics) reveals a mosaic of divergent lineages & highlights the need for genetic monitoring to guide conservation.

🌿 Streptofilum algae are tough! #CLIMArcTIC (#BiodivDynamics) reveals their adaptation to terrestrial habitats (eurytherm, desiccation-tolerant, photophysiologically plastic), allowing them to thrive in biocrusts. Bonus: new species discovered!

🐛 BioTide (#BiodivDynamics) found food diversity affects nematode dispersal. Some disperse faster towards diverse food, suggesting resource diversity aids species coexistence.

🐻 #BearConnect (#BiodivDynamics) used 758 GPS trajectories to study how human footprint & resource availability affect brown bear space use in Europe. Maintaining forest integrity can be key to support viable bear populations and their ecosystem functions.

🧬 Species ranges change due to climate and human activities. #INFRAGECO (#BiodivDynamics) shows how this affects genetic diversity, identifying dynamics during habitat contraction and challenging assumptions about refugium populations.

🐚 #PERCEBES (#BiodivDynamics) tracked barnacle gap recovery in four European regions. Gaps with nearby adults had a 90% recolonisation rate vs. 60% without. Harvesting should be mindful to leave adult clumps to ensure population recovery!
