The inaugural ASICS workshop is (finally!) underway here @UnivRennes1 🇫🇷❄️🌾🐜🏔️ So great to be together in person to talk cold region invasives! @JLembrechts kicked off the science talks this morning with @SoilTemp_proj, now @JanPergl on a HUGE global seed collection study 🌱
ASICS is installing sensors all over, for example at Crozet, a little island in the sub-Antarctic!

We are still on the lookout for candidates for this exciting PhD position! Thermal tolerance, species distributions, insects, plants, climate change, high-latitudes, it has it all!
With David Renault @UnivRennes1 and @TokeHoye @AU_Biodiversity!
RT = nice!
❄️❗️PhD Opportunity❗️ ❄️Cold region invasions - "Functional consequences of climate change and biodiversity redistribution on the ecological processes of communities and ecosystems" With David Renault @UnivRennes1 & @TokeHoye @AU_Biodiversity 🐜🌱theses.doctorat-bretagneloir…
The ASICS project is recruiting TWO PhD students, based at the University of Rennes with David Renault and others.
Topics: invasive species in cold environments!
You'd be joining an international team with a BIG mission: protecting the future of the coldest biomes
The Holy Trinity of spatial ecology: 1) high-resolution climate data, 2) long-term biodiversity monitoring and 3) physiological experiments. Commentary piece by @JLembrechts in @annbot. ASICS aims to deliver all this!
