Our biodiversity seminar series is back! This Wednesday (10 Sep), Maria J. Santos (UZH) will discuss how social-ecological processes shape biodiversity, and how biodiversity in turn regulates these processes. Join us in-person or online! Everyone is welcome biodiversitycenter.wsl.ch/en/events/de...

Academic authors, here's a peek into the black box of journal publishing from an journal editor if you can bear it:

This should have been big news! Ten funding agencies from eight European countries have pledged to support a public infrastructure that is poised to replace academic journals: FWF 🇦🇹 RCN 🇳🇴 Forte 🇸🇪 ARIS 🇸🇮 SRC 🇸🇪 FCT 🇵🇹 CSIC 🇪🇸 DFG 🇩🇪 Formas 🇸🇪 ANR 🇫🇷 Only two of them issued press releases in […]

Kürzlich war ich an der @ruhr-uni-bochum.de und habe ein Interview mit @valentinecology.bsky.social gemacht. Wir haben uns über urbane #Grünflächen, #Biodiversität sowie den Austausch zwischen #Wissenschaft und #Praxis unterhalten. www.bio-kultur.org/von-urbanen-...

Happy to see our new paper out! In short: "Spatial (miss)matches of agri-environmental schemes and implications for optimization" Find the open-access paper here: doi.org/10.1016/j.ag... Thanks to Solen and @robertfinger.bsky.social @robehube.bsky.social @ruhr-uni-bochum.de @usyseth.bsky.social

Bravo @fornalab.bsky.social colleague @ellendevrieze.bsky.social with her talk “European cities manage their green space for people and biodiversity: a chance for urban (or ecosystem) restoration?” - collaboration with @valentinecology.bsky.social et al

Great retreat with my group over two days. Very productive exchange about ecological research, career perspectives, funding and group life. Thanks to @jhthoppenreijs.bsky.social and @simonmoesch.bsky.social for making this possible! 😀😀😀

Delighted to share our recent open access work: The EU Nature Restoration Law widely ignores the biodiversity of urban green spaces, although these are crucial for truly sustainable cities. Countries must now define ambitious biodiversity targets for urban ecosystems. doi.org/10.1038/s429...

Die Restemissionen müssen durch Senkenleistung des Sektors Landnutzung #LULUCF und technische Senken ausgeglichen werden. Der Sektor LULUCF wird jedoch nicht mehr als THG-Senke, sondern als Quelle ausgewiesen. Der Grund: der schlechte Zustand des Waldes.

🤝🏻 Data Stewardship in Tandem In the Grassland Sciences group, Sabina Keller and Lukas Hörtnagl show how a collaborative model can not only ease the workload but also enhance the quality and transparency of research data management. Read more: go.ethz.ch/2j
