It was my honour to give my first keynote within the Aquatic Ecology sesssion this week at the interdisciplinary meeting on extreme events in Koblenz, Germany. Many thanks for the invitation and great organization! #aquaticecology #extremeevents #climatechange #gewässerökologie #extremereignisse

Join me at 16:15 today in HS 1 if you're attending #DGL2025 and especially if you're interested in heat tolerance, video monitoring and Daphnia 😊

Last weekend, I attended the second part of the Odonata identification course organized by KennArt and NABU Münsterland. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity, for meeting amazing odonata fans and learning so much!

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!

exuviae, which I absolutely enjoy doing, and am learning so much about it! I am even creating a lot of Instagram content with small IDing guides and advice, and attending a special Odonata Identification course organized by KennArt and NABU Münsterland. Very excited about the future of this project!

attractive and suitable for dragon- and damselflies. This is an incredible opportunity to delve into urban ecology, learn about odonata, extend my network, bring people together and communicate science, which I find super important! I am also investing quite some time into identification of 3/n

positively surprised by the number of larvae and exuviae I found, together with two very motivated student helpers. What brings me most joy is talking to the "owners" of the ponds, who are all so kind and super interested, and keen to learn and even improve their ponds to make them even more 2/n

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

Ihr habt einen Gartenteich oder seid gerne in der Natur unterwegs und interessiert euch für Artenvielfalt? Dann wäre dies eine tolle Gelegenheit, im Rahmen von #CitizenScience Exuvien von Libellen zu sammeln für Forschung und Lehre. Mehr Infos findet ihr unten. Gerne teilen!

Zum 26. #HexapoDezember möchte ich ein paar Fotos von schlafenden Wespenbienen (parasitäre Wildbienen) der Gattung Nomada teilen (engl. Nomada cuckoo bees), gesichtet Ende März.

Für den 27. Beitrag nominiere ich/For the 27. post I nominate @joshecology.bsky.social

We then continued with a very fruitful and engaging discussion, obviously with some coffee & cake ☺️

It was our pleasure to host @zsofiahorvath.bsky.social in Mondsee, who gave an excellent talk and presented lots of exciting research from her lab group, incl. some incredible examples of successful citizen science! Looking forward to reading all the cool papers, and thank you for your visit!

Decided to be more active on this account from now on, excited to see how many of you are here already! Just sharing a few photos taken this week during our sampling at the lake Mondsee (and yes, it was quite cold!)

My very first post here - hoping to connect with many of you! Highlight from this week: "Pub quiz" which I organized with colleagues to celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, combined with some Fasching celebrations in beautiful Mondsee
