Before it ended, at our GCERetreat2025 our amazing IT-data-programming wizard Steven Hill gave a great overview on the important topics of data and code management.

A fantastic GCERetreat2025 came to end. Amazing talks from all our global change ecology research themes (thermal, macro- & above-belowground interaction ecology) productive exchange about joint research and teaching, group development, career options and many other topics. To be repeated soon!

GCERetreat2025: Amazing insights into his new research on thermorgulatory behaviour of #dragonflies and on how to model this from a biophysical perspective were presented by our postdoc Roberto Novella Fernandez

Hendrik Mohr, also PhD student with @maltejochum.bsky.social, gave us at the GCERetreat2025 some insights into his impressive review work on the multiple global change impacts on above-belowground interactions

During our GCERetreat2025 Ayushi, PhD student in @maltejochum.bsky.social‘s Above-belowground interaction ecology group presented an update about her PhD work on energy fluxes in ecological communities.

Last program day of our GCERetreat2025 has started. Our MSc student @kc-gehrig.bsky.social shows cool (or hot?) results from his thesis project on behavioural responses of butterflies to temperature variation. Great work, highlighting the importance of behaviour in climate change impact studies

GCERetreat2025: Congrats to our @ekengelhardt.bsky.social on her new project bAImo (Bavarian AI for insect monitoring), funded by bayklif2.0. Cool research at the interface of modelling, macroecology & conservation science coming up! With @maximilianpichler.bsky.social & @cofeuniwue.bsky.social

GCERetreat2025: Our MSc student Lars Landgraf presents his ideas and first analyses for his thesis project on how landscape heterogeneity influences distribution and trends of biodiversity in Bavaria

Retreat time! In the great setting of the Austrian Alps we just started our group retreat to discuss science, new ideas & how to further develop our @globalchangeeco.bsky.social ecosystem. Here @christianzehner.bsky.social is kicking off the program with his project on occurrence sampling biases.

Another MSc thesis update was recently presented by our student Nicolas Willems. He studies the variation of colour lightness, body size and other traits of #grasshoppers along an elevational gradient in the Bavarian Alps. Well done!! We look forward to the results…
