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“

Can we harness the knowledge of local or amateur entomologists to investigate long-term change? 🤔 I’ll be demonstrating how observations of the natural world can be translated into meaningful data and trends at @gfoesoc.bsky.social Thurs 12:15pm 0.001 📚🏫

Why are we losing arthropod biomass? Because we're losing species? Because of which species we lose? Or because of declining abundances? Synthesizing time series from @jena-experiment.bsky.social & @bexplo.bsky.social I will present some answers @gfoesoc.bsky.social #gfoe2025 Tue 2 Sept, 11 am 🕷️🪲

Keynote Speakers for #Gfoe2025! We're thrilled to announce our seven exceptional keynote speakers who will be sharing their groundbreaking research and insights at this year's conference. Get ready to be inspired by experts who are shaping the future of #Ecology and environmental science.
