Some shots from my talk at the #gfoe2025 on forest heterogeneity and hoverfly diversity 🪰🌲
If you’d like to hear more about the topic - and with a slightly less shaky voice than on stage - I’m always happy to chat during the conference! @gfoesoc.bsky.social

Life at the (h)edge—Multidiversity in shrub ecotones is driven by habitat quality & shrub foliage cover 🌱🌏

To maximise biodiversity benefits across taxa, recommends managing shrub ecotones at the landscape scale, maintaining a mosaic of open & half-open shrub ecotones 📈🧪

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. 🐝☀️🏙️

This butterfly can be easily recognized even by laypeople thanks to its unique wing pattern: the white marble butterfly Melanargia galathea is commonly observed in flower-rich, nutrient-poor meadows, such as those found in the Lower Franconia region. (Picture: Stefanie Timm / DLG)

At the BioBlitz, children get to know the animals and plants of our agricultural landscapes up close and can become researchers themselves for a day. (Image: Martin Wegmann / Earth Observation Research Hub)

Equipped with sweep nets, magnifying glasses and specialist literature, the BioBlitz participants take off into fields, meadows and hedgerows to record as many animal and plant species as possible. (Image: Martin Wegmann, Earth Observation Resarch Hub)
