Luciano has been with us for a month working on one chapter of his PhD, which he is carrying out at the University of Camerino (Italy), and yesterday he gives a “CaFeCiCO” at CIDE titled “from Functional Traits to Small-Scale Ecological Processes” in which he explain his lasts works. On the other hand, this week […]

International gathering on population genetics and epigenetics
Last week we were lucky to host several international and national visitors. The aim was to bring everyone together to discuss and organise a collaborative paper on genetic and non-genetic responses in population ecology, and, if possible, to lay the groundwork for an international collaborative project. In addition, Francesco and Juli Pausas (CIDE) organised a […]

Last Thursday, our group had a dinner to say goodbye to three of our members. The food was great, but it was also a bit sad. Estela and Emanuele have been with us for a few months and are now finishing their stays. Leyre has been working with us for several years, first as a […]
Continue ReadingWelcome back, Nicolás and Ruth!
After completing their internships with us last year, Nicolás Berenguer and Ruth Amado are back in the group. Nicolás is now doing his extracurricular degree internship for a few months, while Ruth has been hired for one year through the “Empleo Joven” programme. Right now, they’re helping us with fieldwork for the Bioclima network, as […]

Last week, Daniel Arizpe, technician of the Centre for Forestry Research and Experimentation (CIEF), presented our results on the study of several yews (Taxus baccata) populations in the Valencian Comunity at the 5th International Yew Meeting in Requena (Valencia). Over the past few months, we have collaborated on assessing the effect of seed origin on […]

Xiaobin Pan has published his last research titled “Relating functional traits within and across species to the stabilization of grassland productivity” at Journal of Ecology. This study explores how the characteristics of plants influence the stability of ecosystems over time. It shows that fast-growing species tend to be less stable, while the way species differ […]
