Saturday we @enricounigoe.bsky.social went into the forest for our outreach project “Forest Resilience: Science and Practice”. We showed how scientists study forests — from soil to canopy — to supports climate-resilient forest management. Learn more: www.uni-goettingen.de/de/701003.html

Forests can’t regrow if seeds can’t move. New research shows 60% of tropical regrowth zones have lost the animals that once carried seeds there. No dispersers, no recovery. Rewilding isn’t optional: it’s the missing link in climate and restoration plans. 🌱🐦‍⬛ 🦜 🧪 #SciComm

So grateful and proud to be part of the top 10 mycorrhizal articles selected in the latest #newsletter by @mycorrhizaims.bsky.social !

📣 1 WEEK TO GO! 🐜 Leaf-cutting ants don’t just build nests; they build climate-controlled cities. 🎥 Watch the teaser for Prof. Flavio Roces’ talk on their environmental adaptations. 🗓️Tuesday 29 July – 14:00 GMT 📍Live on YouTube : www.youtube.com/watch?v=qORc...

News from the mycorrhizal world: plants could benefit from the cognition and behaviour of mycorrhizal fungi to enhance their own survival 🍄🌳

This week, I’m #RootingForScience by sharing a day in my life as a plant biologist, highlighting what I do and why it matters💚

🌲🌳💧 Researchers have investigated the water uptake depth of spruce, copper beech and Douglas fir. Beech and Douglas fir had access to water from deeper soil layers, unlike spruce. Whether it is a pure or mixed stand also makes a difference. doi.org/10.1111/plb.70058 @christina-hn.bsky.social

What an amazing Night of Science! We had a fantastic time sharing our research from soil to canopy. Huge thanks to everyone joining us to play the "House of Animals" game, ace the bird song challenge, and create awesome origami! Your enthusiasm for nature and science made the night truly special!

Ever wonder if squirrels & dormice get along?🐿️🐀 A new paper of @pmittelman.bsky.social, using arboreal camera data, found that arboreal small mammal species were more likely to co-occur in mixed forests. Dive into the findings here: link.springer.com/article/10.1... #Wildlife #Species_coexistence

Soundboard trained dogs can produce non-random, non-accidental, and non-imitative button presses. Combinations like "outside" + "potty" or "food" + "water" were used in meaningful ways, occurring more frequently than expected by chance. 🧪🐕 #behavior #cognition #dogs www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This year I always had my camera and a small photo box to hand when I was gardening. My children are always finding caterpillars outside, and I wanted to document that a bit this year. With the exception of the garden tiger moth (Arctia caja), they all came from my garden.
