Spatial ecology in a changing world
Second meeting of SOCC participants in Solsona Volunteers and researches taking part in the Catalan Common Bird Monitoring (SOCC) met at the CTFC in Solsona on October the 9th. New advances and applications of common bird monitoring where discussed including bird counting exercises and the […]
Modelling landscape dynamics driven by fire (MEDFIRE model) Landscapes are not static and in Mediterranean regions such as Catalonia fire is driving to a large extent current changes in forest extent and composition. In her master work Núria Aquilué has addressed different questions regarding to […]

Two new articles on fire-triggered ecosystem changes has been published in Ecography, as a result of a collaborative work lead by Marco Moretti and with the participation of Miquel De Cáceres, and Journal of Animal Ecology by Miguel Clavero and Lluís Brotons in collaboration with […]
At the 9th international Meeting on Vegetation Databases (26–28 February 2010, Hamburg, Germany), it was decided to establish a global metadatabase of vegetation data that is publicly available. This initiative has lead to the definition of the Global Index of Vegetation Databases (GIVD). GIVD is […]
A letter on the issue of linguistic injustice in science by Miguel Clavero has been published in TREE. International scientific communication is monolithically dominated by English, particularly within natural sciences. The professional career of individual scientists relies on their ability to publish in internationally relevant […]
In a new article published in the Journal of Biogeography lead by Miguel Clavero and collaborators from Doñana Biological Station (CSIC), new insights into the processes driving the expansion of otters have been investigated. As has happened throughout Europe, the otter (Lutra lutra) has expanded […]
A new article published in the journal Diversity & Distributions and led by Miguel Clavero addresses the spatial distribution of threats and imperilment of freshwater fish in the Mediterranean basin. The level of imperilment of Mediterranean freshwater fish is amongst the highest recorded for any […]
The lab introducing twitter as way of communicating interesting news and ideas not directly issued from its activities. You can check recent and old tweets from: http://www.twitter.com/ecolandlab ——————————————- El laboratori introdueix twitter com una nova eina de comunicació de notícies i idees rellevants a la seva tasca […]
New paper on numerical classifications of vegetation published in the Journal of vegetation science and lead by Miquel de Cáceres in collaboration with a University of Barcelona team. In this paper, we compared the performance of fuzzy C-means (FCM), noise clustering (NC) and possibilistic C-means […]
A new book has been recently published by Oxford University Press addresses the impact of climate change on birds. Lluís Brotons has been involved in one of the chapters (number 18) in which the impact of climate change at the community scale has been reviewed. […]
In this new study and in collaboration with researchers from the FIDBOSC research group we have analysed the changes in mountain pine forests during the last 50 years. Over the last 50 years, mountain pine (Pinus uncinata Ram.) has expanded its surface area in the […]
CAMBIARÉ? GLOBAL CHANGE IMPACTS ON IBERIAN AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES We are finalizing the CAMBIARE? website, about global change effects on Iberian amphibians and reptiles species, funded by the Fundación Biodiversidad and with the colaboration of the AHE (Spanish Herpetological Society). The project is focused on […]
In this new study published in the Global Ecology & Biogeography, we developed a multidimensional measure of niche specialization and apply it to test whether functional homogenization of bird communities in a Mediterranean region is promoted by anthropogenic habitat transformation. We used data on bird […]
