We have been very quiet on this platform lately, as the user experience was far from pleasant. We aim to be more active on BlueSky. Feel free to join us there: https://t.co/54akEeJlmm
Together with his team @TerrEcolGroup@TU_Muenchen, Prof. #WolfgangWeisser hopes to transform building envelopes into animal and plant habitats using a software plug-in that incorporates habitat knowledge into the building design process🌿

A great work of our PhD student #HumayRahimova in cooperation with the
@TerrEcolGroup at TU Munich…
The deadline for abstract submissions is approaching fast. We would be very happy to meet many of you and exchange lots of ecology in the upcoming Annual Meeting of @GfoeSoc in Freising!
NEW: Oriana Sanchez-Mahecha just published a PhD chapter in which she tested consistency of microbe-induced resistance to aphids in barley, under different climatic scenarios. Effects were stable - which is needed for application. @FunEcology

Today Zoé presented to us the results of her MSc thesis research, in which she investigated insect communities in relation to green roof characteristics in Ingolstadt. She finds that abiotic characteristics, but not management, have a strong effect on insect taxa.
Very happy and proud about this prize from @FreisingRathaus for my Master thesis in the light of insect decline, protected areas and land use!
Thanks to @TerrEcolGroup, data from @lfu_bayern and the amazing Team and supervision by @GlobalChangeEco !!! @bayklif@TU_Muenchen
Yesterday, one of our former students @ZehnerChristian was awarded with a prize for best MSc thesis in Landscape Planning and Architecture by the mayor of Freising. Congratulations on a job well done! @GlobalChangeEco
@HoratioChinks @AJFairbairn @sebastiantmeyer This specific project is unpublished, but associated projects are available in preprint: https://t.co/o2Hx4h2Gcx

This morning, Sophia defended her BSc thesis work, in which she used acoustic bird recordings in Munich to investigate relationships between city greenness and bird diversity over the summer season. Very nice work, supervised by @AJFairbairn and @sebastiantmeyer.
In the first days of 2024, our work on Tansy @chemodiversity affecting aphid preference behavior came online in @Oikos_Journal. Nice efforts led by @AnnikaNeuhaus and @LinaOjeda55, in collaboration with our Bielefeld colleagues.

The #NatureRestorationLaw isn't a threat to Europe’s food security.
Rather it's a safety measure to secure food & ecosystems to support our future.
If you're in doubt, ask scientists.

Today, Felix presented the results of his BSc thesis investigation, in which he assessed the effects of different aspects of admixture of the non-native Douglas Fir into German beech forests on beetles, revealing interesting effects on morphospecies richness. @RafaelAchury
Today, Antonia finished her MSc thesis in our Tansy chemodiversity team. She spent all summer counting aphids and predators on different plant chemotypes, and found little effect on predator communities, but interesting effects on feeding rates. Congrats Antonia!

@TerrEcolGroup @chemodiversity I really recommend working in our Research Unit as PhD. Great opportunity working on an exciting research topic in cooperation with other PhDs from leading groups in plant chemical ecology.
Today, PhD candidate Marlene gave us an insight into her PhD project on the effects of Douglas fir admixture on aboveground biodiversity in her public Thesis Advisory Committee meeting. Impressive design, results and progress so far. Great work, Marlene!
