Our new paper shows: four invasive #wasps partition Island resources and prey mostly on #NewZealand #nativespecies. We identified prey DNA from faecal samples #metabarcoding #eDNA. Read it online @japplecol protect-au.mimecast.com/s/1K94CNLJr5tZ… @ScienceUoA @BioHeritageNZ @AklEcol @LearLabMicro

Wie können Daten zur #Biodiversität in #Agrarlandschaften langfristig erhoben werden - darüber diskutierten Wissenschaftler*innen des Verbundprojektes #MonViA mit mehr als 100 Interessierten auf dem ersten digitalen Marktplatz. ➡️thuenen.de/de/institutsue… @BZL_aktuell @JKI_Bund

The sexual assaults at #STRI are a real scandal and sadly not an isolated case in science! This is our #metoo moment! THANKS to all who stand up against such severe misconduct in scientific communities & support the change! See our statement @theATBC 👇 tropicalbiology.org/blog/2021/12/1…

Backyard biological control! 😍 I spotted a caterpillar parasitised by wasp larvae AND some hoverfly larvae eating aphids on @helenwolfenden's cauliflowers this weekend! This is why you shouldn't spray your veggies, the good bugs will do the work for you!

Any #french #researchers interested to come to @TU_Muenchen / @UEcosystems / #Bavaria ?? bayern-france.org/de/foerderung/…

Only biodiverse forests are resilient & able to deliver all their benefits as we face climate change & extreme weather events like this summer’s floods & #wildfires. We need to work together for healthy 🇪🇺 forests & our #EUForest Strategy will help us get there.

Heute abend schon was vor? Hier gibt's die besten Tipps zum #insektenschutz von unseren #Wildbienenexperten #nativebees @UEcosystems @MonikaEgerer

The outreach article about my first PhD chapter is out in EN, FR, DE and IT. Check it to find out more about species diversity patterns and predictive models in the city of Zurich #urbanecology #urbanbiodiversity #Zurich @loic_pellissier

New useful paper in Science that presents a MPA Guide to aid design & evaluation, which categorizes MPAs by stage of establishment & level of protection, specifies the resulting outcomes for biodiversity & human well-being & describes key conditions. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@Kavega21 @GfoeSoc @UEcosystems Thank you @Kavega21! I agree, that was a great session and hard to top :) excited for this afternoons talks

@julia_schmack @GfoeSoc @UEcosystems Thanks a lot for joining and for the great question. Such a fun session with awesome talks across so many taxon. Regarding your question on Urban Species Area Relationships, I can also recommend Leveau et al 2019, and Beninde et al 2015! Hope to see you in the afternoon session

Promoting #urban #biodiversity by maintaining large patches of green spaces, connecting smaller patches, using genetically diverse seeds and engaging the public. Fascinating talk by Kevin Vega @GfoeSoc #CitizenScience #scicomm #GFOe2021 @Kavega21 @UEcosystems

Military land as important refuges for #threatenedspecies like #amphibians. Great talk by Harald Grote on how dynamic landscapes are conserved through military use and maintenence #biodiversity #conservation #GFOe2021 @GfoeSoc
