📣 New Publication!

Biodiversity supports functions that drive ecosystem services and disservices. Measuring these functions is key to evaluating conservation strategies and land use change.

We present methods to quantify ecosystem functions using the sentinel approach:

Back to the office after a great time at the GFÖ conference! We shared talks & posters on bee health, ground-nesting, grassland #Restoration, bird #Conservation, combinations of landscape-scale conservation measures, and the establishment of perennial flower fields as #AECM.

📣 New Publication!

Drought stress impairs crop performance and pollinator attraction. Intercropping shows promise for mitigating impacts and sustaining yields under climate change.

Using pollen metabarcoding, we found that B. lapidarius and B. pascuorum forage across the landscape, relying particularly on flowers in non-productive AES within small grassland fragments. 🌼

📝 Paper alert:

Our study shows how non-productive agri-environmental schemes (AES) boost pollen diversity for bumblebees in fragmented, dry grasslands.

Great excursion to Frau Holle Land! 🌿🐑🦋
Traditional sheep grazing keeps rare dry grasslands alive — we even spotted the thyme blue butterfly (Phengaris arion) and the bee orchid (Ophrys apifera). Plus, rare segetal flora like Venus’s comb and tasty orchard snacks along the way.

Where the wild bees thrive! It’s not just about more habitat, it’s about smarter habitat. Mixing complementary landscape elements can create powerful synergies, while similar resources may reduce impact.
