Join our WBF 2024 session BEF_1.8: Understanding #biodiversity and #ecosystem #functioning across ecosystem boundaries Theoretical, empirical, and applied discipline abstracts are welcomed! @TiannaPeller Heng Zhang Florian Altermatt @florianaltermatt.bsky.social worldbiodiversityforum2024.org/abstract-submi…

New study, led by Joe Millard, shows that agriculture and climate change combined are associated with 60% lower pollinator abundance, on avg. We estimate largest reductions in places used to grow key crops needing animal pollination, such as coffee/cocoa science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Land management and use emerges from history and local customs, and it’s not optimized to produce food, water, or carbon storage. But what if it were? An ideal-world scenario could boost crop production by 83% and protect ecosystem services. In PNAS: ow.ly/MQMy50PWG09

Collaborating with Nutrient Network, Dr Qingqing Chen led this study to understand how eutrophication influenced the various dimensions of grassland stability (invariability, resistance and resilience of community biomass, composition, and richness), as well as their correlations

A visit to Todtnauberg (in the Black Forest, Germany) to see the great philosopher Martin Heidegger's hut (Hütte). It was built in 1922 as a place for Heidegger to retreat from society and focus on writing and thinking, where he wrote Being and Time (Seid und Zeit).

Excitedly looking forward to next Tuesday when I will be giving a seminar Goethe-Universität in Frankfurt on the importance of intraspecific diversity! If you're around, feel free to join! 🤩🧬🤓

Excited to share the first output of my PhD! We explored how intense land use affects #fish🐟 diversity in China's Shaying River basin using #eDNA #metabarcoding. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ed… 🧵1/4

Thanks SCNAT for the opportunity to share our work on engineering FOR and WITH biodiversity featured in the latest #HOTSPOT! Biodiversity as an ally rather than side product when designing blue-green infrastructure in cities 🌱🤝🏢

PhD completed! ​9/26/2024
