New paper out! 🎉 Common waxbills (Estrilda astrild) have spread far beyond their native African range, reaching cooler regions - so how do they cope when temperatures drop? doi.org/10.1016/j.cb... @ecobird.bsky.social

Our article is out! 🌳 Across 19 forest plots in Flanders, we found that forest structural complexity alone did not consistently predict multidiversity across taxa and functional groups 🌳 @ecobird.bsky.social @fornalab.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

(No) Birdbrain at Docville last night🎬 Really interesting take on bird cognition and conservation. Great to see @fredverb.bsky.social and @ecobird.bsky.social research brought to the screen 🐦 A short science documentary by Lode Desmet

#ECTE2026 done 🦜 Really happy to have presented my work and listened to so many excellent talks. Big thanks to the organizers for an amazing conference 🎉

New preprint out on bioRxiv 🌳 doi.org/10.1101/2025... 🌳 Using data from 19 forest plots in Flanders, we found that forest structural complexity isn’t a consistent predictor of multidiversity and responses across taxa were mostly weak or inconsistent. @ecobird.bsky.social | @fornalab.bsky.social

Multitaxon assessment reveals inconsistent biodiversity responses to forest structural complexity in temperate forests

Increasing forest structural complexity is a key objective of future-proof forest management, with potential benefits for biodiversity. However, empirical evidence for consistent biodiversity-structur...
