🌿 Last BayCEER Colloquium, Dr. Timo Conradi discussed how climate change challenges traditional conservation goals and explored strategies for managing biodiversity in a changing world. Thanks to everyone who joined the discussion and exchange! 😊 @timoconradi.bsky.social #Ecology #Biodiversity

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

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...

Ever wonder how different burying beetle species vary in terms of immunity, and if the vast differences in larval dependency are reflected? I bet you did! So did we: doi.org/10.1111/eea.... Congratulations to Laura and @leo-theo.bsky.social, and big thanks to @steigerlab.bsky.social!

🌵 BayCEER Colloquium | 23 April, 12:00 🌵 Dr. Albert Cabré, explores how short but intense runoff events shape the Atacama Desert and drive erosion in arid landscapes. 🔍 A talk on extreme events, sediment transport, and scaling challenges in drylands. 🔍: www.bayceer.uni-bayreuth.de/bayceer/de/a...

Part of the Elite Network of Bavaria, the M.Sc. integrates ecology, statistical modelling, deep learning & AI, remote sensing, and decision science — training graduates to forecast ecological change and communicate it to managers and policy-makers.

The new Master's programme in Ecological Forecasting at UBT and JMU Würzburg is looking to employ six lecturers and a program coordinator! For more information, please contact Prof. Steven Higgins (www.pfloek.uni-bayreuth.de/en/team/higg...).

This looks like an amazing dataset, exploring an important shift in European plant communities. Can we please move on from analysing ad-hoc community summaries from multi-species data? The statistical problems run so much deeper than people appreciate.

🌿 The BayCEER Colloquium SS 2026 starts on April 23rd. 🌿 Join us every Thursday for exciting talks in ecology and environmental research! 🔍 Check out the full programme and explore a wide range of fascinating topics throughout the semester. www.bayceer.uni-bayreuth.de/bayceer/en/a...

Get your stable isotope analysis for free! Current call for projects is open until end of April! * Up to 120 samples/analysis per project. Application is easy: * Call is open until April, 30th * Submit an abstract explaining your isotope project here: www.bayceer.uni-bayreuth.de/CenSI-steppi...

Food waste has a ripple effect. It's the water, energy and labour used to produce it, the money spent to buy it, and the emissions released when it's thrown away. This #ZeroWasteDay and every day, every plate counts.

New study out with @steigerlab.bsky.social! We investigated male care in a biparentally caring 🪲. Why does male contribution vary so much? Turns out there are repeatable individual differences, and how much the female does only affects some male care behaviors. authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

Climate change doesn’t affect everyone equally: up to 80% of those displaced by climate disasters are women. But women aren’t just facing the crisis, they’re also leading the response. This #WomensDay, meet the women driving climate adaptation: https://ow.ly/qjFG50YpZmz

📢 Reminder: Public lecture on 12 March, 6 p.m. “Microplastics in water – where the particles are going” (in German) by Dr. Johanna Schmidtmann. Afterwards, Jona will guide visitors through the marine aquarium at the University of Bayreuth. @crc1357.bsky.social @johannaschmidtmann.bsky.social

📣 New CRC 1357 Microplastics publication! 📣 A new study in #Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety shows that both petroleum-based and biodegradable #microplastics can affect Daphnia magna, with responses varying between clones. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @crc1357.bsky.social @dfg.de

Extreme weather events are affecting billions globally. Beyond cutting emissions to slow the pace of global warming, adaptation is essential to protect people and communities from the consequences already underway. Here is why adaptation matters: www.un.org/en/climatech...
