I am thrilled to share our new study which has just come out in @journalofecology.bsky.social! We show how the wavelength spectrum of #light shapes #phytoplankton communities, and associated consequences for trophic transfer. Light spectrum matters! 🌈🌊

A new study, based on an analysis of thousands of publications and their authors and editors, shows paper mills are just part of a complex, interconnected system that includes publishers, journals, and brokers. scim.ag/3H9kwwQ

30 Jahre #Naturschutz in #Brandenburg stehen auf der Kippe: Ein neues #SPD/#BSW-Gesetz soll Beteiligungsrechte kürzen, Schutzstandards senken & Bauprojekte erleichtern – ausgerechnet in Deutschlands Naturschutz-Vorzeigeregion. Doch der Widerstand wächst. @thomaskrumenacker.bsky.social
Brandenburgs Naturschutz: Geplantes Gesetz bedroht Schutzgebiete
Die SPD/BSW-Koalition plant ein Gesetz zur „Entbürokratisierung“, das nach Expertenansicht den Naturschutz in Brandenburg massiv schwächen und Schutzgebiete gefährden könnte.

In a synthesis of over 3000 population trends in the Wadden Sea, we show a substantial reorganization of biodiversity with over 38% of populations undergoing significant change (i.e., increases or decreases), identify winners and losers and critical time points of change! dx.doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

AI doesn’t help you work less or get paid more, but does destroy the environment and climate.
Study looking at AI chatbots in 7,000 workplaces finds 'no significant impact on earnings or recorded hours in any occupation'
Despite AI’s promise to revolutionize white-collar work, most workers are using it sparingly—or hiding it from their boss.

What is AI’s impact on paper mill production? Using the example of a single paper mill with 200+ papers, we can see a significant increase in 2024. There is clear evidence of ChatGPT use: a large number of short sections, bullet points, and AI-typical literature review.

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.
