Highly independent 2-Year #Postdoctoral #Fellowship in the field of #aquatic #science and #technology 🌍 🔬 🧬 🐟 🚰 🚹 🌊 🛰️ 🥼 at Eawag @eawag.bsky.social Apply now: apply.refline.ch/673277/1335/...

I am looking for someone interested in a 6-month post as research assistant, ideally to start at the beginning of March. The job is to conduct an experiment with flowers and robotic actuators to study buzz pollination. Job description and application here: uu.varbi.com/what:job/job...

🧩Human modification does not always lead to a biotic homogenisation. Using a scenario-based approach, we found that beta diversity increased despite reductions in local alpha diversity, thereby maintaining gamma diversity, when relatively natural landscapes were modified into mixed landscapes.

Come to Hamburg and do a PhD on insect/spider traits with me!

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.

Warming weakens natural enemies of insects. We found that higher temperatures strongly reduce the success of parasitoids – tiny wasps that help regulate insect populations in nature - and narrows their diet. Published in Ecology Letters dx.doi.org/10.1111/ele....

Finally, our new synthesis paper on plant #biodiversity effects on productivity via pest suppression is online! This shows that crop #diversification e.g. through #intercropping can increase yields via indirect multitrophic interactions, helping reduce #pesticides! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A global synthesis finds that higher plant diversity consistently reduces pest pressure and boosts plant growth and crop production across ecosystems from forests to grasslands and farmlands. → doi.org/10.1038/s415... @cscherber.bsky.social 2/3

Species shift their ranges in response to climate change, but many can't keep up. The resulting "community-climate disequilibrium" can impair ecosystem function and cause counterintuitive dynamics, like short-term gain but long-term loss onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

We are happy to announce that we will continue investigating interesting topics around forest management and biodiversity! If you like to work in an interdisciplinary team and are interested in forest ecology, please have a look at our exciting new opportunities: www.greenjobs.de/stellenanzei...

A new study shows that pesticides can harm bee pollination — but that diverse flowering plants can reduce these negative effects. In contrast, realistic levels of microplastics had no detectable impact on pollination or crop yield. @cscherber.bsky.social 2/3
