🚨 #Ozone & bumblebees: what's the impact? The #Mesocosms platform we are currently exploring how #airpollution shapes #pollinator physiology & behavior 🐝🌿Part of the collaborative #ANR #PolluCom project led by @magproffit.bsky.social @cnrsoccitanieest.bsky.social @anaeefrance.bsky.social #ecotron

🔬 New #Ecotron article just published in SBB! Nesting #microcosms inside #mesocosms reveal how #FunctionalDiversity of macrodetritivores affects litter mass loss. 🍂🪱 Spoiler: it matters! 👉 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @cnrsecologie.bsky.social & the #Ecotron team! #Biodiversity

#Microcosms and #Mesocosms experimental platforms completely taken over by the #ANR Pollucom project (@magproffit.bsky.social and her team from CNRS CEFE) studying #ozone effects on plant–pollinator interactions 🌼🐝 They’ve hijacked our meeting room too! Must be the AC 😅 @ecotron-cnrs.bsky.social

Major milestone @ecotron-cnrs.bsky.social: #lysimeters installed in the Macrocosms experimental platform for the upcoming #biochar & #basalt for #ERW. Huge thanks to the team for the massive effort! Interested in collaborating? Get in touch! @anaeeeric.bsky.social @anaeefrance.bsky.social

Excited to share the first article from the #Ecotron 's #Mesocosms platform! 🎉 Based on a 4+ year experiment manipulating soil macrofauna diversity in large #lysimeters under #drought. #Macrofauna matters! Huge thanks to @UFZ_de & @CEFE_CNRS. More coming soon! 🔗 www.frontiersin.org/journals/mic...

Had a great time at the Enhanced Rock Weathering conference in Antwerp #ERW25! Industry interest is accelerating faster than the science. Our latest study shows promising results: doi.org/10.1016/j.ap... – And soon a new experiment in the #Ecotron #macrocosms, even better suited for this challenge.

There are great Global Ecology Starter Packs go.bsky.app/F86HYqj organised by @nmouquet.bsky.social You can DM @global-ecology.bsky.social to join the Vol_3 of the starter pack

Intriguing debate between classical predictive and structural causal modelling. Always thought the later is a wee bit overrated. Without strong a priori hypotheses, both can lead us straight into the land of spurious correlations BS.
