How do antlions cope with ever warmer summers in the Mediterranean?
We are a newly formed research group at the Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Global Change at Estación Biológica de Doñana (EBD-CSIC). The overarching theme of our research is to assess how feedbacks between phenotypic and genetic traits, individual behavior, life-history processes, and biotic interactions can allow natural populations and communities to "cope" with environmental change. To us, understanding biodiversity change begins with observations of individuals. We are working with long-term data on animal and plant populations to generate iterative short-term forecasts and to project population dynamics under global change scenarios - trying to create theoretical principles and empirical applications to anticipate and mitigate emerging threats to natural communities. For any inquiries, please don't hesitate to contact the PI, Maria Paniw.
We are finally starting to build a digital twin for terrestrial systems in Doñana! We are working on putting together a website, in the meantime, check out: https://momentum.csic.es/en/
The online seminar series organized by the European Chapter of the Ecological Forecasting Initiative will take off again on Sept 13. After a brief summer break, we are excited to present lots of great research around ecological forecasting. More info here.
Some of us from EEFI have organized a forecasting challenge using remote-sensing and biodiversity data from Doñana National Park. We will be presenting the challenge at BioSpace25. You can join here.
