I have started to migrate to bsky. You can find me there @sebseibold.bsky.social

[Sebastian Seibold @SebSeibold]

Nice work led by Chao Guo, Hans Cornelissen & Yan En-Rong showing that phenological and morphological traits of termites influence wood decomposition rates and that trait complementarity of the two dominant species lead to overall faster decomposition. https://t.co/8yl4vrhjbc

[Pete Manning @PeteEcology]

The article uses comprehensive data from the
@BExplo_research platform to show that the joint goals are best achieved in stands of larger trees, and that pine forests are poor for both biodiversity and carbon

We are hiring a postdoc who will study bacterial biogeography from local to global scale. If you want to join our group in the Institute of Microbiology, Prague and explore with us this topic, look here: https://t.co/SMcH1E1VGz

[Diversity & Distributions @consbiog]

In this paper, @SebSeibold, @_tobiasrichter and co-authors investigated the #AlpineBirds community using #bioacustic audio recorders and #RemoteSensing across vegetation and elevation gradients

Two weeks of exciting field work at Shiretoko National Park with @AkiraSMori, @edfm_tum and @eco_FSF to study forest structure and biodiversity in relation to forest dynamics as well as for the BIOCOMP project on global decomposer diversity. Thanks to all for the support!

[Sebastian Seibold @SebSeibold]

A great collaborative project studying global biodiversity patterns of fungi via airborne spore sampling: led by @AbregoNerea and Otso Ovaskainen, we found strong effects of temp; diversity of most- not all- groups followed a latitudinal diversity gradient https://t.co/CwSJQgvaRo

Great lab retreat today at Saxonian Switzerland National Park! Discussing science in beautiful scenery

[Sebastian Seibold @SebSeibold]

@AkiraSMori looks amazing, Akira! Great that you are part of the team!

[Sebastian Seibold @SebSeibold]

@AkiraSMori Can't wait to come for a visit!

[Sebastian Seibold @SebSeibold]

@SpaceTimeEco @ERC_Research No, it is not fenced and luckly we had almost no disturbance by animals in a previous study. But we will see... The baskets suggested by @kimcalders seem like a good option for the TMS

[Sebastian Seibold @SebSeibold]

We set up the first plot pair of the @ERC_Research project BIOCOMP studying biodiversity of decomposers and wood decomposition rates in managed and natural forests along global climate gradients. Can't wait to see the results!

More insects on the cover!

Nice result from our collaboration with the Kunming Institute of Botany: relationships between tree diversity (TD, PD, FD) and productivity along elevation gradients in the European Alps and Yulong Mt in Yunnan. Well done @joyzou18! Stay tuned for more elevation-gradient work

[Rupert Seidl @RupertSeidl]

New work led by @joyzou18 shows that there is no generality in biodiversity-productivity relationships along elevation in temperate and subtropical forest landscapes. w/ @SebSeibold @dominikthom1 @lisageres @_tobiasrichter and many others. https://t.co/WTjCKKwMxc

Great synthesis paper led by @margot_neyret about slow and fast strategies across taxa and up to ecosystems now published. Another example for the strength of collaborative projects such as the Biodiversity Exploratories @BExplo_research

[Margot Neyret @margot_neyret]

We first identified traits that could describe 'slow' and 'fast' strategies - akin to the plant conservative/acquisitive axis across many different taxa 🌿🦠🍄🦋🕷️🦗🐦🦇.

[Nature Communications @NatureComms]

Here, Neyret et al. use data from 150 grassland sites to identify a coordinated slow-fast strategy response at a community level to land use intensification across above- and belowground taxa.

Open PhD position at Forest Zoology @tudresden_de! Spruce in Central Europe is seriously impacted by disturbances/climate change. We study how different management options for converting these forests affect biodiversity. Apply until Mar 13th https://t.co/Wel5ZRoLfG

[Sebastian Seibold @SebSeibold]

Very nice work showing how the forest floor vegetation may change in a heterogeneous mountain landscape under climate change

[Rupert Seidl @RupertSeidl]

Out now in @GlobalChangeBio: Projected climate and canopy change lead to thermophilization and homogenization of forest floor vegetation. Great work led by @KBraziunas, combining vegetation surveys with landscape simulation modeling https://t.co/Mr1gRbIlSR

Next years annual meeting of @GfoeSoc the Ecological Society of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland will be @TU_Muenchen in Freising! The call for session proposals is now open @ https://t.co/Gr6ZcJ3ePg. Would be great to see you all in Freising in September!
