Very excited that this large synthesis on trait changes at the community level is now out! Thanks @margot_neyret for your hard work and your perseverance!
Margot Neyret@margot_neyret13 Feb 2024
Slow and steady wins the race 🐇🐢- does it work in ecology? There are 'slow' 🌵 and  'fast' 🌱 plant communities, but are there slow/fast ecosystems? If that sounds fun check our new paper w. @PeteEcology rdcu.be/dyjf0 @geobiodiversity @BExplo_research @NatureComms

Checking the flower bed in front of the main venue of #GfO2023 for urban biodiversity. Mostly the usual suspects (honeybees and bumblebees) but also spotted two wild bees and the sparrows also love it :)

Die Mahdexperimente im BioDivKultur-Projekt. Ein Thread 🧵 über unsere Studie zum Einfluss unterschiedlicher Mäher auf #Insekten und #Spinnen im #Grünland
BioDivKultur@biodivkultur10 Jul 2023
Beprobt werden heute 1) Balkenmäher 2) Mulcher 3) „insektenschonende“ Mulcher und 4) jeweils Refugien. (Plus natürlich Kontrollflächen.) 🚜 💡Was genau das bedeutet👇
