Absolutely amazing diversity of wild flowers growing on the Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg north campus, resulting in some incredible insect diversity! In the short walk from my office to the cafeteria I saw 6 species of butterfly, including the stunning scarce swallowtail (Iphiclides podalirius)

Today is #ShowYourStripes, when we encourage people to start conversations about climate change using simple 'warming stripes' data visualisations. The world is warming mainly because of burning fossil fuels. The consequences are becoming more visible. It's time to take action.

While there are thousands of experiments measuring feeding rates of consumer-resource pairs, only some dozens include more than one resource species. Time to catch up! Read our new paper on multi-species functional response experiments doi.org/10.1111/2041-2…

…and 2 weeks ago Hendrik Mohr introduced us to his PhD project which takes part in the impressive Global Change Experimental Facility of the UFZ in Bad Lauchstädt.

Just published: Dung beetles drive direct and indirect changes in ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) Functional Ecology Dr Fevziye Hasan shows how single functions, EMF metrics and path modelling yield rather different conclusions! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Invasive earthworms significantly alter soil abiotic properties after two years, but consequences for plant taxonomic diversity take longer to emerge. 🪱 🔗 Read more: doi.org/10.3897/neobio… #invasivespecies Thouvenot Lise iDiv Biodiversity Research
