  1. Are smaller stomata faster in reacting to environmental changes such as light, CO2, atmospheric humidity, temperature ? I have participated with our data in a group publication where we take a closer look at the "Speedy small stomata" paradigm.
    Using data from over 80 plant species, we found only weak correlations between stomatal size and maximum stomatal closing or opening speeds as well as response times.
    Instead, stomatal speed appears to be context-dependent, shaped by species-specific traits, stomatal type and broader anatomical and physiological features.
    These findings support a trait-based approach to assessing stomatal kinetics, which has implications for understanding #EcosystemFunctioning under #ClimateChange and #CropBreeding for higher #WaterUseEfficiency and #photosynthesis.

  7. Reading and reminding myself of a gem of a paper by Ernest and Brown. Compelling case of how compensatory changes in species populations to environmental fluctuations can maintain approximate steady state w/ rates of resource supply and resource consumption.

  9. #Introduction time

    Hi everyone !

    I'm Léa (she/her), postdoc in #Ecology at CNRS/University of Toulouse, France.

    I'm interested in #SoilBiodiversity and #EcosystemFunctioning and the impacts of #GlobalChange such as #pollution.

    Currently I study how a top predator (lizard) modulates the impacts of #climatechange on #belowground and #aboveground communities in a long term exciting experiment.

    I mostly do #rstats now and am big fan of #metaanalysis and data synthesis in general.

    👋 I am a senior research assistant in the #Altermatt_lab at #University_of_Zurich and #Eawag.

    My research focuses on #amphipods, their #diversity and #distribution, both in epigean and subterranean #ecosystems. I combine field data and laboratory experiments to study the influence of connectivity on #diversity and the role of #amphipods for #ecosystem functioning in #freshwater.
