Anne Chao and @piambr.bsky.social, the 100% perfect dialogue duo at #gfoe2025! ✨ Thank you for sharing statistical insights on sample coverage and it's standardization in the first @gfoesoc.bsky.social keynote session using #BETAFOR data.🌳🌱 @uni-wuerzburg.de @cofeuniwue.bsky.social

Our #BETAFOR PhDs had an amazing time presenting their research at last week’s #gfoe2025 at @uni-wuerzburg.de! 🌟 Full of fresh ideas and inspiring discussions, it’s back to daily life. 💻✨ @claudiki.bsky.social @piambr.bsky.social @johannaasch.bsky.social @juliarothacher.bsky.social

Heute im Interview mit SWR! Es geht um spannende Feldarbeit in den Tropen, Biodiversität, und unvergessliche Momente 🌄 www.swr.de/swrkultur/wi... @ecoresearchzoo3.bsky.social @biologie-uniwue.bsky.social @uni-wuerzburg.de

🎬 Sneak peek – Zoology in action! Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at Zoology III? 👀 Research, fieldwork, biodiversity – and so much more. 🌿 You're new at the university or just curious? Stay tuned for exciting insights into our team, our projects, and the wild world of animals.

🌿 Turn your passion for nature into action: Study Global Change Ecology where ecosystems meet cutting-edge science — in Germany 🇩🇪 and Norway 🇳🇴. 🧭 Fieldwork 🌍 Global impact 🎓 Double degree At MERGE, you don’t just learn about change — you become part of the solution. 🔗 Ready to start? Link in bio.

🌍 Tropical ecosystems are vital to life on Earth — they host the richest biodiversity, regulate global climate and drive nutrient cycles. 🌿🌧️ 👣 Want to experience it up close? Join our East Africa excursion! 👉 Find out more here: www.ecology-conservation.de/courses/ Photo by Thomas Hovestadt

Congratulations to our colleague @sabinenooten.bsky.social from the Chemical Ecology group at @ecoresearchzoo3.bsky.social on receiving the Marcella Boveri Prize of the @uni-wuerzburg.de Biocenter, and on her great presentation of her work on insect #ecology and #biogeography

Alpine Adventures Await! MERGE offers 10 days excursion in the breathtaking German Alps! 🏔️ Check out here: www.ecology-conservation.de/courses/ From lush valleys to snowy peaks, we explore ecosystems across elevation gradients. 🌿🦋 #LifeOfMERGE #PhotoOfTheWeek Photo by Fabienne Maihoff

We’re excited to launch our Double Degree Master’s in Global Change Ecology – a unique collaboration between the University of Würzburg (Germany) and the University of Bergen (Norway)! Passionate about biodiversity🐛, ecosystems🗻, and today’s urgent environmental challenges🌍? This program is for you!

🎉Great news: our paper on interactive effects of land use and climate on bees was selected as Editor Pick on ResearchGate! www.researchgate.net/journal/Proc... Link to paper: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10....

New research out from our PhD student Fabian Klimm!

@ecoresearchzoo3.bsky.social went for a little walk again, together with over 1000 other participants! 100 km in <24 hours while enjoying beautiful landscapes, from sunset to sunrise again. The next field work season can come, we're ready to walk! 🐝🪲🪰🐜🦗

@johannaasch.bsky.social, currently on fieldwork, showing us some dung beetles in action 🪲💪 while studying the effects of forest structure on decomposition processes for @betafor.bsky.social

Check out the new honey bee paper of our PhD student @giuliamai.bsky.social! 🐝

How do honeybee colonies successfully overwinter? 🐝❄️ A new study from @ecoresearchzoo3.bsky.social found that pollen diversity plays a crucial role! 🌷🏵️🌼 ➡️ www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/news-and-...

@ecoresearchzoo3.bsky.social of the University of Wuerzburg has shown that #shrub fringes protect animal species and have a positive effect on #biodiversity. They say fringe management at landscape level is needed for optimal diversity. 🕷️🌱 ➡️ www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/news-and-...

Insects are struggling with major global change drivers, like climate change and habitat loss. Researchers from @ecoresearchzoo3.bsky.social have now investigated, how these threats interact. The results show that bees suffer in particular. 🐝☀️🏙️ ➡️ go.uniwue.de/beesheatland...

How can we make the green spaces on Campus Hubland @uni-wuerzburg.de more livable for people 👱🧔‍♀️, animals 🐦🐝🦊and plants 🌳🌺?

Integrating vegetables into a push-pull plot is not only possible but highly beneficial—if done correctly. The key is to maintain the core layout: 🌱 Desmodium between maize rows and 🌾 Brachiaria or Napier grass along the borders. 👉 Learn more at upscale-h2020.eu

Last week, @ieep.eu and @eurolandorg.bsky.social organised a Safeguard event on the role and the economic, environmental, and social benefits of #pollinators in agricultural landscapes 🐝 🔎 Learn more: www.safeguard.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de/News/ViewNew... #ForumForAg

We found that shade tree diversity and cover had different effects on bird and bats depending on their functional guild and the landscape surrounding the agroforestry systems

[new paper] I'm very happy to present my first PhD chapter in my first post in this nicer environment. If you're interested in birds, bats, agroforestry and tropical agricultural landscapes, check it out! 🦜🦇🌳🍫 ¡Contáctame para leer el artículo en español! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
