On January 6-10 2026, seven of us went the 12th Biennial conference of the International Biogeography Society (TIBS) in Aarhus, Denmark [conference website]. I think that we made quite a strong presence there, we reconnected with many colleagues, established new collaborations, so big thanks to the MOBI team. Also, kudos to the organizing committee, the conference was magnificent, as always.

These were our oral talks:

• Flo Grattarola: Themporal change and drivers of multiple facets of biodiversity at mesoscales.
• Gabriele Midolo: Six decades of biodiversity changes in European plant communities.
• Carmen Soria: The velocity of biodiversity change: applying the climate velocity framework to biodiversity metrics.
• Mel Tietje: Large-scale bird co-occurrence stability over time.

These were our posters:

• Gabriel Ortega: One metric to rule them all? A global assessment of the importance of shape complexity for the environmental heterogeneity of protected areas.
• Elisa Padulosi: A cross-disciplinary framework for temporal dynamics across community ecology, landscape ecology, and remote sensing.
• Petr Keil: Compiling data on contemporary biodiversity change at meso scales.
