One of my favorite things is writing about other scientists’ amazing research! Here a Trends in Ecology & Evolution spotlight about a paper in Ecography by Monte Neate-Clegg and Morgan Tingley. Birds respond differently to climate change in the tropics - more tropical research needed 🙌🏽

Poll results: contrary to what most of our readers think, sample sizes in ecology have not increased over time dynamicecology.wordpress.com/2024/04/10/pol… via Dynamic Ecology

nature.com/nature/volumes… Our paper on insect declines is coming out today in an issue with 4 other papers on the topic! (and yes, I'm very happy that there's a leafhopper on the cover)

Here we go! I'm delighted to announce the publication of our latest article, where I had the honor of serving as corresponding author alongside a dedicated team of researchers: Robert R. Junker, Lisa-Maria Ohler, Jan-Christoph Otto, and Sabine Kraushaar. 🧵1/9

Congratulations, Kathi. Well deserved 🎊

In der Schweiz gebe es keine "Biodiversitätskrise". Dieses Fazit von Biologe Marcel Züger, der im Auftrag des Schweizerischen Bauernverbands Schweizer Bauernverband eine Studie erstellt hat, löst beim Komitee der #Biodiversitätsinitiative Empörung aus. Es spricht von einer "Nebelkerze". (1/7)

Changes in an #alpine #plant community over 20yrs were mainly affected by dispersal limitation besides #environmental filtering. Limited dispersal capacity may thus hinder isolated cold areas from effectively protecting high alpine plants from warming: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

Four interesting weeks of field work in the Arabuko Sokoke Forest of Kenya are coming to an end. The Salzburg Environment and Biodiversity team & Maximilian Hanusch investigated insect diversity, as well as vegetation structure & habitat parameters.🪲🦗🐜🍃🌳🪵
