In this week’s blog post, we’re checking our calendars and addressing how climate change is causing shifts in breeding dates for reptiles! Discussing the article “A multi-trait evaluation of patterns and fitness consequences of breeding phenology plasticity with nocturnal warming and food restriction in a lizard”, Théo Bodineau explains just how sensitive the natural world…

Carolina Olguín Jacobson on when the ocean heats up: what 15 years of community-led monitoring revealed about marine protected areas in kelp forest – Functional Ecologists

In this week’s blog post we’re discussing tackling climate change through 15 years of community-led exploration of underwater kelp forests. Carolina Olguín Jacobson, author of “Recovery mode: Marine protected areas enhance resilience of invertebrate species from marine heatwaves”, shares insight into the effects of heatwaves on kelp-related species and how monitoring and conservation efforts like…

Meet the Editor: Ji Chen – Functional Ecologists

In this blog post, we hear from Senior Editor Ji Chen, Professor at the Institute of Earth Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences! Ji's research focuses on uncovering the mechanisms that regulate carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus dynamics in ecosystems in response to global change drivers and anthropogenic disturbances. During his Ph.D., he examined how ecosystem CO₂…
