If you’re curious about how we collected the data 👉
Check out our data paper for full details on the experiment, including individual-level trait data for nearly 6,000 pollinators, including #bees, #hoverflies, #wasps, & #beetles across 24 home gardens in #Zurich.

Spotted this swallowtail caterpillar munching on wild carrot by the Limmat River in #Zürich. A quiet reminder that urban #biodiversity is not to be underestimated!🌿🐛

Pre-print alert! 🚨 Excited to share my second PhD chapter: species link habitats through food webs. We show that removing species from one habitat (e.g., wetlands) can cascade across the multi-habitat regional food web, reducing its robustness. 🌿🐝🐦🦌 Check it out here: doi.org/10.21203/rs....

I'm excited to defend my PhD on "unveiling spatial patterns of multi-trophic #biodiversity using the #metaweb approach" this Wednesday! 🎉 DM me if you would like to attend the presentation over Zoom, please!
