It’s been quite a season! 🐦 Bird monitoring in Hainich NP is wrapped up — a big milestone for the team! Next stop: Thuringian Rhön. Huge thanks to everyone, esp. Lars Ludwig & Amanda Falch for their great work & stunning photos! 📸 More: www.bund-thueringen.de/natura-2000/...

✨Proudly presenting our first odonate of the month! ✨

With lots of fun facts & species info, we hope to bring these #ancient, important & beautiful, yet increasingly #threatened, creatures to broader attention.

Great to see the results of our massive biodiversity assessment at Berchtesgaden Natl. Park pour in! Cool insights on patterns & drivers of multidiversity!

Amazing week of #birdbanding with @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social! 🪶 For a long-term monitoring programme we captured, aged & ringed 21 #bird species 🐦‍⬛🦜, including 3 woodpeckes and a goldcrest from Northern Sweden 🇸🇪 ringed this autumn. Learned so much, thanks for having me! 💚

Great talk in the #macroecology session at #gfoe2025 by @pro-pink.bsky.social on global hotspots of butterfly diversity. Check out their recent paper in @natecoevo.nature.com : www.nature.com/articles/s41...

As we are getting ready for a certainly great Annual Meeting of the @gfoesoc.bsky.social hosted by @uni-wuerzburg.de, …. highlight the “Macroecology and Biogeography” Session on Wed./Thurs.: 3rd/4th, in your calendar!!!

Great line up!

All set! ✨
Würzburg is ready to welcome you to #Gfoe2025 next week! 🎉
Thanks to our amazing helper team for all their work in preparing the venue 💚🌍

Does the decline of many #bird species also trigger a decline in species identification skills in young people? Are we already witnessing the #extinction of experience? Our new study, led by Talia Härtel, and based on a large questionnaire resurvey, suggests so:

I used my plenary to showcase our achievements, particularly in ecophysiology kicking off a brilliant session with lots of contributions of LatAm colleagues. Thank you Cornelio and Melissa for inviting me and @daadworldwide.bsky.social + @consecol.bsky.social @unimarburg.bsky.social for support!

We are approaching the finish line of our first-ever SPA monitoring field season in Hainich National Park! We had an exciting start, and now everything is coming together thanks to the team’s dedication and energy, so enjoy some first impressions!
