DNRF Center of Excellence - Center for Ecological Dynamics in a Novel Biosphere (ECONOVO) headed by Center Director @jcsvenning.bsky.social @aarhusuni.bsky.social, Denmark

📢Film launch!
🐂 🪲🌿We are proud to present our important work on #novelecosystems. Give it a watch & find out how & why we study novel ecosystems to understand their impacts on #biodiversity and #biosphere functioning and how we can manage them for a better future 🦋🌿🌎

@elenapearce.bsky.social, affiliated researcher at #ECONOVO, is cycling from London to Singapore!

In Tajikistan’s remote Bartang Valley, Elena rode through broken roads, river crossings, and scattered villages to learn how herders live alongside wolves and the rare snow leopard.

🚨 New paper!🚨

Our postdoc @atengstedt.bsky.social and colleagues just published a PNAS study presenting a genomics‑informed framework for deciding when genetic rescue is likely to work🌱

Even moderate genomic data can give conservation teams the confidence they need to act faster and smarter!💡

Proud of @emmamarjakangas.bsky.social for showcasing her insights on seed dispersal vulnerability to global change, a key part of her #EcoNet #MSCA project with me at @econovoau.bsky.social.
Take-home: habitat change main driver of vulnerability, but adaptability is high

It was great to meet so many other Early Career Researchers at our #TIBS2026 mixer last night - both catching up with old friends and meeting new ones.

To celebrate all the ECR Biogeographers, we have created a starter pack so you can follow all the exciting work being done:

🌿 Retreat reflections from Sandbjerg Gods!

In June, ECONOVO gathered for two days of deep dives into:
🔹 Fair recognition in research
🔹 Interdisciplinary dialogue & conceptual development

Workshops, walk’n’talks, and great conversations!

Wishing everyone a great summer! 🌞⛱️😎
