My last PhD student from ERC grant submitted, and will defend soon. Our research shows insects consume 6% of leaf biomass in South African savanna-forest mosaics, a hidden force shaping ecosystems! #Ecology #InsectHerbivory #SavannaResearch onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

Members at annual conference:🌿Forest-steppe meadows are the most diverse grasslands in the world, with over 110 species per 10 m². Research by Jan Roleček and colleagues has shown their distribution in the Carpathian region, habitat conditions and maximum richness values. 👉

Trophic interactions can be important drivers of avian functional diversity on tropical mountains. Kryštof Korejs, from laboratory of Multitrophic Interactions, and co-authors, present a new study from Papua New Guinea. multitrophicinteractions.blog/2025/02/10/new…

If Elsevier thinks that I'd review papers for getting access to their research tools, I'd like to let them know that I'd rather stop reviewing for them. A review is hours of unpaid work. In 2023, Elsevier made 2 billion Euro profit. Reduce APCs for reviewers. Elsevier

Indeed, I don’t see any justifiable reason why the scientific publishers shouldn’t reduce the Open Access fees for reviewing researchers. Really…

Congrats to Dr. Heveakore Maraia (Kore). Defending is a nerve-wracking enough, but doing it fully online, with an audience scattered across globe took it to the next level. Yet, he did well and we have new doctor on the other side of the world. Enjoy the well-earned PhD title!

Výbor České společnosti pro ekologii (ČSPE) se ostře ohrazuje proti pozměňovacím návrhům k novele zákona č. 114/1992 Sb., které ohrožují smysl národních parků a oslabují ochranu přírody v ČR. Pokud zůstanou součástí novely, je lepší zákon vůbec neotevírat. Plné znění prohlášení:

Decreases in bird functional diversity due to forest loss can be compensated by open-habitat species replacing sedentary birds. Shifts in trait composition reveal declines in avian ecosystem functions in fragmented primary & secondary rainforests Katerina Sam bit.ly/4dV3zCo

🐦⛰️ What drives dramatic elevational shifts in avian roles within ecosystems? Korejs, Katerina Sam and colleagues link feeding specialisation to functional diversity along a continuous 200–3700 m rainforest gradient in Papua New Guinea. 👉doi.org/10.1111/jbi.15…
