Just after presenting our work about how different patterns of parental care can affect immunity in #nicrophorus offspring at the @ece2026tours.bsky.social, it's now published by @insect-science.bsky.social and you can (open) access it here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Males are worse mothers: Comparing care patterns in a facultatively caring beetle

Why should biparental care exist if offspring fare just as well when only one parent is present? In the facultatively dependent burying beetle, Nicrophorus vespilloides, manipulating environmental qu...

Our paper on how understorey vegetation responds to enhanced forest structure was just published @jappliedecology.bsky.social! We found an increase in alpha- and gamma-diversity driven by heterogeneity in light conditions at the landscape-scale 🌱🌳🥬 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Trend der mittleren bzw. maximalen Juni-Temperatur für die DWD-Station Heinersreuth-Vollhof/Bayreuth Von 1970-2026 sehen wir einen Anstieg von 4,5 bzw. 4,8°C. Hochgerechnet auf 100 Jahre wären dies 8,1 bzw. 8.6°C. Jeder vernünftige Mensch sollte einsehen, dass diese Trend gestoppt werden sollte.

Field work close to Bayreuth! Assessing forest regeneration and microclimate in disturbed forests...

Earth Observation for Ecosystem Management at TUM@eoem-tum.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Last week, together with the University of Bayreuth easilabubt.bsky.social, we have started the fieldwork for the new T-EDGE project. We aim to deepen our understanding of the effect of disturbances on microclimate and regeneration in the forest interior.

Even if future habitats remain suitable, many species may never reach them. A new study finds that under >4°C warming, ~78% of Earth’s land could lose the connectivity needed for wildlife migration by 2061–2080, increasing risks of isolation and biodiversity loss. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The authors consider connectivity—specifically, the functional effectiveness of climate connectivity (FECC)—under climate change. Under high emissions (SSP5-8.5), FECC is projected to decline across 7...
