Puh – was gab es im Sommer für Prügel für meine Aussage zur Bedrohung der Landwirtschaft. Nun steht auch im aktuellen Aufruf der Meteorologischen und Physikalischen Gesellschaft genau dies drin. Ich bin fast erleichtert. Weil ich ständig selbst reflektiere, ob ich manchmal zu drastisch kommuniziere.

Very happy to have given a talk and presented my phd project at this year’s @gfoesoc.bsky.social about insect trends Grateful for the inspiring discussions and feedback on my research and my colleagues and supervisors @ekengelhardt.bsky.social @christianhof.bsky.social @globalchangeeco.bsky.social

Just quoting the final key point, which very few leaders seem to be acting on: "While policies are needed to protect people from heat, a rapid shift away from fossil fuels is the most effective way to avoid hotter and deadlier summers."

Amazing keynote by Zuzana Burivalova at #gfoe2025 on soundscapes, African tropical forests, and conservation. www.soundforestlab.org/soundscapeba...

A truly amazing highlight of #gfoe2025 at @uni-wuerzburg.de yesterday evening: Jan Haft and members of the Orchestras of Change with their „Climate and Wilderness show“

Truly fascinating combination: the wonderful shots by @jan-haft.bsky.social beautifully accompanied by live music of "Orchester des Wandels" 🎶 - what a highlight at the #gfoe2025 Ice Breaker tonight! 🧊🥂 @gfoesoc.bsky.social

First day at #gfoe2025 was a great experience with a very exciting session on climate change effects on biodiversity, which Hendrik Mohr and I have the pleasure to chair. Looking forward to hearing more in the coming days! 🌎 📈 @ecoresearchzoo3.bsky.social @gfoesoc.bsky.social

Very important & cool project on mobilizing historic bird monitoring data & analysing older trend baselines then by @kampjohannes.bsky.social #gfoe2025 If you know someone who might has old bird data from Germany, get in touch w Johannes See also here www.dda-web.de/monitoring/h...

#gfoe2025 has started, whohoo! Just enjoyed 2 great talks by @kampjohannes.bsky.social & @felixneff.bsky.social, highlighting the importance of considering longer time periods than just the last 2 decades to understand #biodiversity trends

Happy to have this chapter of my PhD out!🥳 🐝🪲🍁🌳

Derweil versucht die Bundesregierung, eMobilität, Wärmepumpen und Erneuerbare zu bremsen und stattdessen in fossiles Gas zu investieren und es gar zu subventionieren. Man kann nur hoffen, dass Gerichte diese Verantwortungslosigkeit stoppen.

"Wenn sich der Klimanotstand Jahr für Jahr verschärft, müssen wir über Legislaturperioden hinausdenken und die Klimanotstandspolitik in eine Staatspolitik verwandeln, die alle Institutionen und alle Regierenden einbindet", so der spanische Regierungschef. www.tagesschau.de/ausland/euro...

🚜🌾🐦🪲🌞🍽️ Was braucht es, damit Agrarlandschaften zu Klima- & Biodiversitätsschutz beitragen? Und wie hängt das mit den eigenen Konsumentscheidungen zusammen? Darum wird es im Open Lab Abend am Futurium in Berlin gehen, den meine Gruppe am 18. September organisiert: futurium.de/de/open-lab-...

Care to learn about the latest biogeography research? Come join us in the beautiful city of Aarhus, Denmark in January 2026 for our 12th biannual conference! Abstract submission is open until September 1st. See more details here 👇 conferences.au.dk/tibs-aarhus-...

Abstract submission deadline for the @biogeography.bsky.social conference in Aarhus is a couple weeks away. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn the latest research on all things biogeography. Hope to see you there!

📢 Big news! @IPBES.net has appointed co‑chairs for its Second Global Assessment of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. They will guide a global, multi‑disciplinary team as they build on the 2019 report and inform biodiversity policy worldwide by 2028.

After a rainy few days we’re been back in the field! After a slobbery encounter with some cows, we had a good day sampling. The encounter of the day was this stunning spurge hawk-moth larva (Hyles euphorbiae) 🐛 it was huge, the size of a finger!!

Another scorching day in the mountains! Today’s site was overflowing with Scotch argus (Erebia aethiops), even watched a few laying their eggs carefully on grass stems. Few other species around, but at least this one is flourishing here

Another sunny day at our highest elevation plot! Some nice finds today, lots of yellow-spotted ringlets (Erebia manto), and my first ever mountain clouded yellows (Colias phicomone) (sadly no good photos)! So many species out flying, it’s always a pleasure to visit (…except for the climb)

Today was one of the hottest days we’ve gone out sampling, reaching nearly 30C here in the mountains ☀️🔥 Many butterflies seemed to be hugging the shade today. One of my students spotted this lovely garden tiger moth (Arctia caja) similarly hiding in the shadows

Another day out sampling butterflies! Many silver-spotted skippers (Hesperia comma) buzzing about, they’re in good numbers here! Otherwise had the pleasure of sharing a peaceful moment with this painted lady (Vanessa cardui), who seemed reluctant to leave after I interrupted their nectaring 🌸🦋

Another sunny day out sampling butterflies in the Alps! Today we came across a site rich in silver-spotted skippers (Hesperia comma), but in the heat of the sun they were incredibly fast and restless, very hard to catch! 🦋💨☀️ luckily Erebia rarely seem to be in a hurry, so the sampling was still good

Today we visited two higher elevation sites, and made the most of the sunshine! ☀️ Highlights include this silver-spotted skipper (Hesperia comma) who seemed comfortable on my insect pot for just long enough to get a quick photo

Yesterday wasn’t as successful in the field, cows on the sites makes sampling tougher, but highlight of the day was seeing the food chain in action with this small spider munching on a much larger Erebia butterfly. What a feast that must be, and incredible grip to hold them both on such a small stem
