Although we had to skip our traditional workgroup trip to Laelatu this year, then we managed to have a 5-day writing retreat with a smaller group of people. Carlos, Aurele, Guille, Sabrina and Riin are working together to study the global functional diversity of different organisms, and Laelatu was a great place to finalise some analyses and start writing a new paper. Of course, we also had some time to enjoy the amazing nature in Laelatu.
