Retreat time! In the great setting of the Austrian Alps we just started our group retreat to discuss science, new ideas & how to further develop our @globalchangeeco.bsky.social ecosystem. Here @christianzehner.bsky.social is kicking off the program with his project on occurrence sampling biases.

Another MSc thesis update was recently presented by our student Nicolas Willems. He studies the variation of colour lightness, body size and other traits of #grasshoppers along an elevational gradient in the Bavarian Alps. Well done!! We look forward to the results…
