Bad data is a problem, especially when it informs decisions & is seen as reliable and standardised. We decided that we would look into what informs the IUCN assessments, given that they are the main species indicator for the global biodiversity framework. doi.org/10.32942/X2KK7D

Our new paper showing that bootstrapping outperforms community-weighted approaches when estimating trait distributions is out at @MethodsEcolEvol ! By embracing variation, we get closer to the true community distribution and metrics. doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.14…

How can we collect large datasets of plant functional traits? Here’s a time lapse of taking one plant through the @BtwnTheFjords and @PFTCourses trait wheel, an efficient system that can be scaled to process thousands of leaves. #IAmABotanist #ecophysiology

Forest canopies can #thermoregulate! Our @PNAS letter shows most layers exhibit #limitedHomethermy, with only the canopy-top exhibiting #megathermy. Canopy-top thermal imaging data are widely reported, but do not accurately quantify canopy-scale behavior. shorturl.at/cqrN9
