🌿🪶 New Review in #BAAE: Abandonment & intensification impact biodiversity in marginal grasslands.

Across 174 European studies, both pathways reduced diversity — while restoration & extensive management help recover ecological value. 🌾

🚨New study led by @shawan-chowdhury.bsky.social calls for urgent systematic #insects monitoring.

🐞 Over 36 years of data reveal alarming declines in German #groundbeetles: 52% of species decreased in #occupancy, including many key #predators vital for #ecosystem balance.

Got inspired by all the fantastic research at #gfoe2025? Save the date for an even larger gathering of excellence in #ecology and #evolution at the joint #NSO2026 and #gfoe2026 meeting with @gfoesoc.bsky.social! See you on 14-17 Sep 2026 in Denmark! nordicsocietyoikos.glueup.com/event/nordic...

Very important & cool project on mobilizing historic bird monitoring data & analysing older trend baselines then by @kampjohannes.bsky.social

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:

In schwedischen Seen findet man oft noch ziemliche Besonderheiten.
Zum Beispiel die Wasser-Lobelie🪻(Lobelia dortmanna)!

👉 Die mag oligotrophe Weichwasserseen, also seeehr wenig Nährstoffe + niedrige pH-Werte.
Solche sauren Klarwasserseen gibts in 🇩🇪 fast nicht mehr, daher so gut wie ausgestorben. ☠️

Winter feeding changed diet compositions, which might affect vegetation development in areas where feeding is supplied 🐎🌎

The EU Nature Restoration Law widely ignores the biodiversity of urban green spaces, although these are crucial for truly sustainable cities.

Countries must now define ambitious biodiversity targets for urban ecosystems.

Auch der dritte Tag der ersten Lehrveranstaltung mit den #Moorspezialisti war spannend: #Wiedervernässung #AnklamerStadbruch stand auf dem Programm. Wieder zeigte sich: wiedervernässte Moore sind neuartige Ökosysteme (siehe Kreyling et al 2023) kurzlinks.de/b2jd @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social

Check out our new paper, led by Bent Rech: we investigate space use of semi-feral water buffalo, cattle, and horses in a Danish rewilding area. We found that the three species differ markedly in their seasonal habitat selection and responses to resources and infrastructure.

Interessante Meta-Studie zu den Vorteilen des #Ökolandbaus. Es zeigt sich, dass das System gerade bei #Nitrat, #Biodiversität und #Boden Vorteile hat. Die Ergebnisse bei Tierwohl sind etwas überraschend, da die Mehrheit der Studien keinen Vorteil zeigen.
