PhD in Macroecology. Postdoc in Earth Surface Dynamics group at ETH Zurich exploring the tectono-geomorphic influences on biodiversity patterns. Blogger, Baker.
- The best way to end up the #TIBS2026 is seeing the northern lights with colleagues! TIBSers, NORTHERN Lights is in Aarhus NOW! @mquetin.bsky.social @melinafm.bsky.social @biogeography.bsky.social @tibsaarhus2026.bsky.social
- Cross-disciplinary conversations are always inspiring—especially hearing how geologists and biologists read landscapes and link Earth surface processes to biodiversity. #TIBS2026 @tibsaarhus2026.bsky.social @biogeography.bsky.social

- Reposted by Yaquan ChangPaper out in Ecology Letters! We - incl. @westobymark.bsky.social @biogeokreft.bsky.social and others - show that traits are linked to species’ colonisation and extinction probabilities on #islands — with direct implications for species persistence and the Equilibrium Theory of Island #Biogeography
- Reposted by Yaquan ChangPlease pass along, I’m recruiting PhD students to join our Macroecology Lab @uofa-eeb.bsky.social We study phys ecology, macroecology, biodiversity - spanning scaling, trait-based ecology, theory, comparative biology & ecoinformatics. Several avenues for funding. Please reach out if interested🧪🌐🌾

- Are you curious about how geology shapes biodiversity patterns? Would you like to explore this topic with exciting discussions? If so, join us at the TIBS conference! We are hosting a symposium on the Co-evolution of Landscape and Life, stimulating interdisciplinary discussions and collaborations!
- 🌍 The International Biogeography Society’s 12th Biennial Conference — TIBS Aarhus 2026 — will take place Jan 6–10 in Aarhus, Denmark: conferences.au.dk/tibs-aarhus-... 🐘🍃🌴We're looking forward to hosting it! #Biogeography is central to understanding the #biosphere & is more important than ever!♨️

- Reposted by Yaquan Chang🦏🦣🦌 LARGE paper alert!!! We tracked 60 million years of large herbivore evolution—over 3,000 fossil species—to uncover how ecosystems have changed and reorganized through time. What we found might help us understand the next big tipping point 🧵👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

- Due to construction work, our train from Zurich to Vienna partially changed to bus. But this gives us an unique opportunity to explore the Austria Alps 🏔️ #train2EGU #EGU25 #greenEGU

- I am happy to share my 1st PhD chapter is one of the most widely read papers in New Phytologist! #TopViewedArticle @newphyt.bsky.social Many thanks my supervisors and collaborators for their amazing supports! @ele-ethwsl.bsky.social @loicpellissier.bsky.social @nezimmermann.bsky.social Sean Willett
- In this mountain biodiversity review, we emphasized roles of habitat creation, disruption, and oscillation in driving biodiversity. Additionally, we developed a set of geomorphic predictors that may influence biodiversity patterns, with the potential for application to other montane systems.
