Plants under global change: death, survival, and climate moderation
This seminar looks at two case studies around the theme of plants in a changing climate. The first looks at dieback in a Eucalyptus population persisting in an isolated Pleistocene refugium. Monitoring >400 trees through two successive droughts, revealed a reduction of 40% in the number and biomass of trees, and that remaining trees have reduced he... [Lire la suite...]
PS 2 salle 201 + visioconférenceToward large scale ML-based habitat type prediction
César will present his PhD subject and initial results on predicting future trajectories of plant species and habitat distribution. Recent cyber-infras and new data sources offer opportunities to mobilise massive amounts of biological data that have never been analysed together. In particular, species occurrence data can be combined with various e... [Lire la suite...]
PS 2 salle 201 + visioconférencePhylogenies and their potential for ecological research
MAURIN Olivier
The presentation looks at the progress made in plant systematic and phylogenetics over the past 40 years. From small datasets comprising a few individuals and a few hundred nucleotides to the current “mega” datasets including hundreds of thousands of base pairs and thousands of individuals, we look at case examples demonstrating the benefits of...

PS 2 salle 201 + visioconférenceFeedbacks between vegetation and geomorphic dynamics in land-water interface ecosystems
CORENBLIT Dov
Land-water interface ecosystems are highly relevant models for estimating the resistance and resilience capacities of ecosystems in relation to physical disturbance regimes and environmental changes. Existing hydroecological models have been developed with a strict focus on the effect of heterogeneity and variability of hydrogeomorphic processes an... [Lire la suite...]
PS 2 salle 201Convergent evolution of complex vascular developments in plants
CUNHA NETO Israel (Cornell university - i.cunhaneto@cornell.edu )
Among plants, body forms vary from tiny herbs to tall trees, all of which expand in girth through a conserved mode of radial growth. However, in many climbing plants, radial growth is different from the typical pattern observed in stems of a sunflower or a pine tree. Instead of forming a ring of wood and bark, their stems display unusual architectu... [Lire la suite...]
WebinaireRevisiting the role of intraspecific variability in species coexistence: modelling approaches and insights from forest data
GIRARD-TERCIEUX Camille
To answer the question "how do many species that require the same resources manage to coexist?", intraspecific variability (IV, the differences between individuals of the same species) has been taken into account. In mathematical models simulating species dynamics, IV is often represented as a random noise around the species mean, without structure... [Lire la suite...]
