Anne Chao and @piambr.bsky.social, the 100% perfect dialogue duo at #gfoe2025! ✨ Thank you for sharing statistical insights on sample coverage and it's standardization in the first @gfoesoc.bsky.social keynote session using #BETAFOR data.🌳🌱 @uni-wuerzburg.de @cofeuniwue.bsky.social

Had a blast at #gfoe2025!

After months of preparation, today we are starting the physical build-up of #gfoe2025 at @uni-wuerzburg.de @gfoesoc.bsky.social Looking forward to seeing all of you here! As an appetizer, here is part of what you will be able to enjoy next week:

New paper out! 📃 Enhanced structural complexity in forests has limited effects on #soil abiotic properties, but #microbial activity and biomass respond site-specifically. Soil moisture and understory growth link to microbial functions. 💧🧫🌳🍁 Read it here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Congratulations to our colleague @sabinenooten.bsky.social from the Chemical Ecology group at @ecoresearchzoo3.bsky.social on receiving the Marcella Boveri Prize of the @uni-wuerzburg.de Biocenter, and on her great presentation of her work on insect #ecology and #biogeography

New research out from our PhD student Fabian Klimm!

Have you ever wondered what happens when you put 400g of cow dung in the Bavarian Forest? - A feast! 🪲🪲 @betafor.bsky.social

Check out the new honey bee paper of our PhD student @giuliamai.bsky.social! 🐝

Insects are struggling with major global change drivers, like climate change and habitat loss. Researchers from @ecoresearchzoo3.bsky.social have now investigated, how these threats interact. The results show that bees suffer in particular. 🐝☀️🏙️ ➡️ go.uniwue.de/beesheatland...

Had fun presenting my poster about the effects of climate and forest structure on dung beetles at #EGU2025. Thanks to everyone in the Forest Floor session for showing so much interest in my somewhat different research topic! 🌲🪲 @betafor.bsky.social

Find us at #EGU25, where our PhD student @johannaasch.bsky.social of @betafor.bsky.social will present her research on how climate and forest structure shape forest dung beetle communities 🌲🪲 ➡️ meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/EGU25-...
