PhD opportunity!

Focusing on ecological processes offers an adaptive approach to conservation at a time of rapid environmental change

But how do we measure & conserve these processes?

This PhD will explore the use of species traits to assess ecosystem condition

FYI if you're not in the right time zone for this do not fret! Sign up as an online attendee to get access to the required docs and Discord site, then you can contribute when it's a good time for you and chat with others awake at the same time on Discord. Fun for all time zones!
Reminder to sign up to our upcoming hackathon!

We'll be discussing and testing a protocol to assess whether data/code associated with published literature is actually reproducible, and if not, why.

Registration closes on the 15th September 🕤

Folge 33 von Natur 2.0 ist ein Spezial zur Oder-Katastrophe im Jahr 2022. Damals starben im Hochsommer massenhaft Fische und anderen Lebewesen. Was steckte dahinter? Ein Wunschthema aus der Hörerschaft.

For those interested in my small project on #odonata in #urbanponds, you can now get all updates on my new Instagram profile@WingsOverWaters

I am also using this account for science communication focusing on odonata in general. Feel free to follow and share widely!

A month ago, I started a small project on #odonata in #urbanponds, where I'm monitoring 10 different ponds in a community garden in Cologne over a course of 5 months and assessing the diversity of dragonflies and damselflies. This weekend, I was visiting the ponds for a second time, and was 1/n

Freue mich sehr über diesen Insektenführer von Thomas Hörren! Vorallem bin ich dankbar, dass ich ein paar Fotos beisteuern konnte, was für eine Ehre!
Ein richtig schönes Gefühl, mit dem ersten eigenen Naturführer in eine frühlingshafte Woche zu starten!

Mein 3. Buch ist heute bei mir angekommen. Ab dem 22. April wird es dann überall im Buchhandel erhältlich sein! Via Vorbestellung trifft es jetzt schon ein.

In der 24. Folge von Natur 2.0 - dem Biodiversitätspodcast war Wissenschaftsjournalistin Katharina Adick zu Gast. @janaisanta.bsky.social und ich haben uns ganz besonders gefreut, denn einige kennen sie vielleicht schon als die Stimme unseres Intros oder ihrem Podcast mit Hundeprofi Martin Rütter.

My first post is finally here:

I am very excited to share our newest paper in Ecology where we present the temperature-dependent effect of multiple resources on #phytoplankton growth, using gradients of temperatures, light and nutrients.
