Many thanks to @fboetzl @alfredo_venturo Annika Haas (@FuncAgroEco) and @CostanzaGeppert for their great talks!

Last week, Marco and Michal chaired a symposium entitled "The role of non-crop habitats to support arthropod diversity and ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes" at the @ECCB_2024 organized by the Global Predation Assessment Team

The global predation assessment team (Marco, Michal and @Dr_Eze_Gonzalez) met in Leipzig during the #GfO2023 🌍

Testing a new brand of plasticine at the green roofs of @fzpczu with Michal. Next week the whole team will meet again at the GfÖ annual meeting in Leipzig

@bugsized Thanks, Annika for sharing these pictures and for your work on the experiment!

The first results from the U.S. are ready! Thanks @bugsized and @PovedaLab for joining us 😁

Just finished collecting data for the @predation_rates project - here are some photos from the field and lab of creatures (or evidence of them) trying to eat clay caterpillars!!

Here are more proofs of Fabian's work! Busy predators in Sweden, as indicated by insect, bird, and mammal bites @fboetzl

[Fabian A. Boetzl @fboetzl]

I was indeed 😊🐛

More news from the traveling caterpillars! @fboetzl is probably in the field right now, collecting the caterpillars that were exposed on Tuesday in Sweden 🇸🇪

Marco is sampling around Göttingen this week 🇩🇪
And more sites in the Northern Hemisphere coming soon 🐛

Yesterday we received the first results of the project from Elena Zvereva in Finland! 🇫🇮

[Global Assessment of Predation Rates @predation_rates]

@fboetzl Looking forward to seeing some photos of the Swedish fieldwork 🙂

The Global Assessment of Predation Rates project has started! Led by Marco Ferrante (@FuncAgroEco), Michal Knapp (@fzpczu) and @Dr_Eze_Gonzalez (@IMBIVCONICETUNC), it aims to assess predation in maize fields and neighboring non-crop habitats across the world using sentinel prey🐛

@FuncAgroEco @fzpczu @Dr_Eze_Gonzalez @IMBIVCONICETUNC We will do this with the help of many colleagues participating in their study sites in several countries to test if the latitudinal predation gradient holds in human-modified environments. Michal already sent the first set of packages with caterpillars after a lot of work
