Did you know we also record butterfly–flower interactions? 🦋🌸 Three decades of observations show how species loss limits the capacity of communities to reorganize their interactions in response to environmental change. 📄Read the scientific article: l1nq.com/L5wls

The key result: suppressing insects with bifenthrin, a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide, suppresses plant diversity. Unfortunately, with this poison there are knock-on effects to the animal's evolutionary sister group: fungi. So if 10 years of insecticide is also killing beneficial fungi...

Wow! 😮

Reminds me of a passage from Jost (2009:18, 2088-2091): the null hypothesis of zero differentiation is virtually always false, and if sample size is large enough, this can be demonstrated with any desired statistical significance. Good to find @ecoevoevoeco.bsky.social here!

While orthopterans 🦗 showed the highest heat tolerance, flies 🪰 appeared as the most sensitive group. Intact forests with high complexity, shade and connectivity are of high importance to prevent (further) species losses in the Earth's most biodiverse area.

Beech seems to be adaptable in its N form preference, when non-native but economically attractive Douglas fir is admixed. I didn't know an awful lot about roots and what they like or not, but it was fun contributing & learning here. Seems to be good news for climate-adapted forestry! 🌲🌳🌱
