- Reposted by Anna R LandimNew postdoctoral fellowship opportunity! Please pass along. Excited to announce the launch of the Tom Lovejoy Fellowship Program at the University of Arizona for innovative research to protect species, sustain ecosystems, and promote a thriving planet lovejoycenter.arizona.edu/lovejoy-fell... 🧪🌐🌾
- Reposted by Anna R LandimRestoration ultimately aims to recover complex ecological systems with many interdependent species at large scale To understand the driving processes, we combined experiments & modelling Finding a trade-off between species recovery and food-web complexity onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
- Excited to share that the second paper of my PhD is out in @currentbiology.bsky.social 🍈🦜🍒🐒🍊🐿️ We show that the functional diversity of seed-dispersal interactions in tropical forests takes circa 20 years to recover after deforestation. You can read it here: www.cell.com/current-biol...
- Some other key findings: ▫️ Recovery is slower and less predictable in poorly connected patches. ▫️ The functional diversity of animal frugivores takes almost 40 years to recover, delaying the re-establishment of interactions. ▫️ Remnant trees play a key role in triggering forest recovery.
- Why it matters: Animal-mediated seed dispersal is essential for the natural regeneration of tropical forests. 🕊️ Our results show that seed-dispersal interactions often don’t fully recover before secondary forests are cut again. This means the potential of natural regeneration is being undermined.
- This work was done together with great people @mschleuning.bsky.social, @jalbrecht.bsky.social , @btinoco.bsky.social and others :) It is part of the @reassemblynet.bsky.social, where we study how interactions recover after disturbance. And carried out at @sgn.one

- Reposted by Anna R LandimOur latest nutcracker paper is out! In a collaborative effort between @sgn.one and @vogelwarte.bsky.social we show how bird age can affect seed dispersal 🐥🌱 #ProcB @royalsocietypublishing.org Avian seed dispersal function is age dependent doi.org/10.1098/rspb... @matthiastschumi.bsky.social
- Happy to share that the first paper of my PhD is out! We developed a trait-based framework 🌱🦜 to quantify how plant-frugivore interactions and animal movement shape plant functional connectivity—the dispersal of seeds between habitat patches. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...
- Some key findings: Resource diversity in a patch increases both seed number and diversity, but it is most significant between ~50 to 100 meters. When between-patch distance is around 250 meters or more, connectivity relies on rare long-distance dispersal by large birds.
- These results also depend on network specialization: in general, higher specialization leads to lower diversity of seeds being dispersed into habitat patches.
