Public broadcasting visited our experiment today to shoot a science education clip on #biodiversity

Happy to contribute to "Planet Schule" #SWR & looking forward to seeing the finished clip soon 🌱🪲🪱

What a great week for Max, he also defended his PhD with great success - congratulations!

Stay tuned for more of his research on plant-consumer interactions 🌱🪲

With proud supervisors @ebelingae.bsky.social, Sebastian Meyer @terrecolgroup.bsky.social & Holger Schielzeth

The handsome click beetle on the cover of Ecology's May issue is one of nearly 1,400 arthropods (insects, spiders & the like) from Germany's Jena Experiment whose traits are compiled in a new Data Paper by Bröcher et al.

Our paper on the integration of biodiversity-disease and biodiversity-herbivore relationships is out now! Thanks to @idiv-research.bsky.social for supporting us through #sDiv working group funding to bring together two typically disparate fields in ecology! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Where are all the field studies?

This ⬇️ important but rather depressing paper describes how conducting, & crucially initiating, field studies is becoming harder & rarer.

A short 🧵 (and a call for more fieldwork)
www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...
Extinction of experience among ecologists
Fieldwork-based research and education in ecology are under multiple threats and are progressively declining. We call for greater attention to this ongoing loss of direct field experience within the ecology community, as it could have widespread consequences for science and education, ultimately hindering efforts to address the ongoing biodiversity crisis.

Was verbindet diese beeindruckende Vielzahl deutscher Hochschulen und Universitäten? Sie haben heute gemeinsam bekannt gegeben, dass sie sich von Elon Musks Plattform X (ehemals Twitter) zurückziehen. Möge der Rest dem guten Beispiel folgen. Es ist an der Zeit.

Plant diversity increases above- and below-ground ecosystem functioning and their phenological synchrony, but effects on traits vary across seasons.

This new study suggests that high-quality old grassland may be particularly good at supporting pollinators because diverse food sources provided by such grassland provide additional health benefits.

The last chapter of my PhD thesis is published. A collaborative mesocosm experiment was set up to examine the role of plant diversity and plant and soil community history on several ecosystem functions. Our own work focused on the multitrophic functioning of soil fauna.
