Congratulations to our postdoc Soumen on his new publication! 🎉🌳 In German beech forests, canopy gap and deadwood enrichment reduced insect damage but stressed trees at low elevations, while the opposite happened higher up. 👉 Local climate makes the difference. 📖 doi.org/10.1111/1365...

Check out the new paper of our PhD student @rhausmann.bsky.social🌳 Showing that TreMs increase during forest recovery yet remain distinct in old-growth forests, highlighting the importance of protecting intact forests and retaining remnant trees for restoration. doi.org/10.1016/j.bi...

🦗 Meadows are now home to only a few different insect species when compared across different locations in Bavaria. Specialized and unique species communities have been lost. The situation in forests is similarly monotonous 🌳 📃 Read more: www.br.de/nachrichten/...

Paper published by Orsi Decker! 🎉🐞 doi.org/10.1038/s414... Distance-decay reveals contrasting effects of land-use types on arthropod community homogenisation. Managed grasslands are most affected by community homogenisation, while arable lands and settlements showed heterogeneous communities.
