@HebrewU. I use experiments, models, and global analyses to study biodiversity and trait distribution.
Great! Thank you :)

(6) Lastly, we built a model predicting that #ClimateChanges will further increase the prevalence of annual plants worldwide. 🌍🌿🌿🌿 🌏

(5) 🌏 👣 While we knew that annuals are favored in disturbed ecosystems, we were amazed that this pattern scaled up. 👣 Human footprint influences biogeographic patterns of annual prevalence! 🌍 #Conservation

(4) 🔁We found striking evidence for convergent evolution. Different plant families independently embraced the annual life cycle under hot-dry summer🌻🌷🌾. Nature's marvel! 🌳 #Evolution

(3) 🔥 We thought hot & dry conditions were the key to annual prevalence 🌞, but it's all about hot-dry SUMMERS (rather than the yearly average)! This is why there are more annuals in northern Israel (or California) than in most deserts. 🏜️. 🏜️ #ClimateScience

(2) 🌍 Annuals are much rarer than previously thought - just 6% of all plants and 13% of herbaceous plants. Yet, their distribution varies globally. 🌍 Biodiversity

Thank! Any specific recommendations (regarding ecology and botany)?

What's the point of going to a second conference if you meet only a subset of the people attending the previous one? I am wondering if there are people here who left Twitter... (so there is a new audience)
