📄Out now 📄: 90-year trends in Switzerland show declines in butterfly and saproxylic beetle richness around the mid-20th century, linked to agricultural mechanisation. Some groups have recovered in recent decades, especially warm-adapted species. Specialised and cold-adapted species remained low.🦋🪲

🎉 Congrats to @julian-lunow.bsky.social on his new publication! Promoting a mosaic of forest management types while reducing overall management intensity can foster positive relationships between carbon stocks and arthropod diversity. 📖 doi.org/10.1016/j.fe... #Biodiversity#CarbonStorage#Ecology

Will climate change increase global forest deadwood carbon stocks (because of increasing tree productivity and mortality) or decrease it (because of increased deadwood decomposition)? Find out in the new paper by Edelmann et al., out now in @commsearth.nature.com doi.org/10.1038/s432...

Now online in @forestecosyst.bsky.social: By synthesising data from the @bexplo.bsky.social, we found that promoting a mosaic of forest management types while reducing overall management intensity could foster positive relationships between carbon stocks and arthropods. doi.org/10.1016/j.fe...

We are hiring! #AcademicSky @valentinecology.bsky.social @ruhr-uni-bochum.de has an open postdoc position on #Urban #Grassland #Ecology!🌍 The position includes work with stakeholders, so good command of the German language is preferred. More info: jobs.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/jobposting/1...

Today marks 3 years since I started my group @uni-wuerzburg.de. It's been a great time thanks to a wonderful team and the best collaborators in Würzburg, Germany, and abroad! Thanks to all of you! Very much looking forward to more joint adventures! www.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/gce/news/...

We currently are looking for a postdoctoral research associate (3 years with possibility to extend) with experience in community ecology, and ideally a good match with our group profile; biodiversity, land use change and urban ecology. Please share for max reach www.lss.ls.tum.de/fileadmin/w0...

Good news! #Biodiversity🦜🐜🐒🐸 in a tropical #rainforest 🌴🇪🇨can naturally recover quickly 📈 (if the conditions are suitable = enough surrounding forest). Our new study in #Nature #forestecol #restoration @jocotoco.bsky.social www.reassembly.de/posts/recove... www.reassembly.de/news/rainfor...

Forest stand age and deadwood diversity promote synergies between climate change and biodiversity loss mitigation. My 1st paper out now in Ecological Applications @esajournals.bsky.social esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
