New @econovoau.bsky.social study led by @jonastrepel.bsky.social: Global analysis shows that #vegetation in semi-natural areas greened (densified) faster w/ higher #Ndeposition - #nitrogen pollution may be an underestimated driver of global vegetation change🌿 doi.org/10.1002/ecog... #globalgreening

Global analysis suggests nitrogen deposition as an underestimated driver of vegetation greening

The local effects of atmospheric nitrogen deposition on plants are well established, yet a global empirical analysis of nitrogen deposition effects on vegetation dynamics is missing. Here, we assess ...

Our recent paper has gained some traction in the Swedish media, including a feature by SVT: www.svt.se/nyheter/loka... (and several other outlets).

Rapsfält oväntad guldgruva för biologisk mångfald

Inte bara ängs- och betesmarker är viktiga för artrikedomen. Rapsfält kan gynna oväntat många arter, visar forskning från Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet.

Fresh off the press! 📄We find that crop fields and semi-natural grasslands support complementary #biodiversity across #Europe. Semi-natural habitats alone are insufficient to ensure farmland biodiversity - biodiversity-friendly management of crop fields is essential. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Saw *Takahashia japonica* (at least I think so) for the first time at an Italian service area on our way to Sardinia — weird white worm-like strands covering a mulberry tree. Apparently this invasive scale insect is spreading through Europe. Never seen anything like it in 🇨🇭 before - so bizare! 🌿

Great PhD position available at University of Stirling, with some field work also in the Swiss Alps 🏔️ If you are interested in soil biodiversity and functioning have a look 👇

Amazing PhD opportunity at the University of Stirling! Don't miss this chance. Amazing supervisors (Arthur Broadbent and @jasubke.bsky.social ) and a strong collaboration team including Lindsay Newbold, @annekempel.bsky.social and myself :) iapetus.ac.uk/studentships...

So happy to see the first BugNet paper published 🥳! Thanks to all our collaborators, without you this would not have been possible! 👇

BugNet@bugnet.bsky.social · 10mo ago

Our first paper from the Bug-Network (BugNet) is out! 🎉 BugNet is a global network studying how invertebrate herbivores and fungal pathogens shape plant diversity & ecosystem functioning worldwide. The paper reports on the methods of the experimental part: 📄 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

#Climatechange is causing #marmots to move, but not far: this is the conclusion of a recent study by #SLF biologist @annekempel.bsky.social. She investigated the altitude at which most marmots currently live and compared her findings with data from 1982. More information: www.slf.ch/en/news/clim...

Climate change has minor impact on marmots for now

Marmots now live at higher altitudes than they did 40 years ago, but climate change has not led to a major habitat shift.

🦫 Climate change has had only a minor impact on marmots near Davos – for now! Using a 40-year-old dataset, we resurveyed marmots along an altitudinal gradient. They now live ~86 m higher, but range margins are unchanged. More here: www.slf.ch/de/news/klim... @slfdavos.bsky.social #AlpineEcology

Klimawandel lässt Murmeltiere vorerst kalt

Murmeltiere leben heute höher als vor 40 Jahren – ihr Lebensraum hat sich durch den Klimawandel aber nicht grundlegend verschoben.
