Die Mahdexperimente im BioDivKultur-Projekt. Ein Thread 🧵 über unsere Studie zum Einfluss unterschiedlicher Mäher auf #Insekten und #Spinnen im #Grünland

New preprint: A fast-slow trait continuum at the level of entire communities' led by Margot Neyret Found by combining expert knowledge with trait data for >2800 above- and belowground taxa from 14 trophic guilds in the Biodiversity Exploratories Research plots. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🦋🌳There is still time to apply! 🌿🕷️ The position is equally suitable for someone wanting to conduct a PhD project or someone looking for a postdoc. I'm not primarily looking for any specific skills but rather for a good fit for my new team. 🤝 If you are not sure: contact me!

After I missed the last in-person GfÖ conferences, I am very excited for next week's #GfO2023 I'll present a poster on Thursday, so come by and discuss ES in forests our just catch up :)

We are heading to @GfOeSoc conference in Leipzig with 6 oral and 2 poster presentations next week! 🗒📣 Hoping to see many of you there! #FSFgoesGfOe #gfoe2023 #gfoe23

Checking the flower bed in front of the main venue of #GfO2023 for urban biodiversity. Mostly the usual suspects (honeybees and bumblebees) but also spotted two wild bees and the sparrows also love it :)

@Jsllsj01 Rupert Seidl Dear #gfoe23 #gfoe2023 attendees. Please consider strongly to join our society @GfoeSoc It secures further similarly great or even greater conferences, funding for more training courses, awards for colleagues, support for the working groups (e.g. GfÖ AK Macroecology ). THANKS!😘
