Diese Woche hatten wir einen internen #Workshop im #Projekt. Er sollte eine Hilfestellung für unsere #Praxispartner:innen sein, wie wir Produkte aus dem Projekt am besten kommunizieren. Besonders toll fanden wir, wie viel wirklich schon in den letzten 2 Jahren entstanden ist.

Comenzando mi postdoc en un gran proyecto de restauración forestal como parte del proyecto @ReassemblyNet. Esta semana tuvimos nuestra primera expedición a una reserva de @jocotoco_org es impresionante el trabajo de conservación que han logrado 1/n

#Insectdecline in forests, too! The @CommsBio tweet below showed a more representative #forest insect than other media today!
(No, fire bugs and honeybees are NOT at risk in forests, and it's not about wind turbines...)

@Oikos_Journal @NBluthgen @ReassemblyNet We have two major findings which are: 1. Mutualistic network assembly happens faster in the presence of non-obligate (e.g. Facultative) mutualists 2. Non-obligate generalists dominate early stages and obligate specialists dominate later stages of the assembly

[Timo Metz @timometz]

Happy to have the first paper of my PhD „Shifts from non-obligate generalists to obligate specialists in mutualistic network Assembly“ published in @Oikos_Journal https://t.co/WYskHVczca Great collaboration with @NBluthgen and the wonderful @ReassemblyNet project

How do nectar bats choose flowers? 🌺🦇
Do they prefer flowers that match their snout shape? Well... It's complicated, but when and where plants are flowering is key while chosing a meal. Check out our latest paper on the drivers of a bat-flower network!👇

Come and have a look at my poster at #sfe2gfoe2022 to learn about our theoretical research @ReassemblyNet regarding mutualistic network assembly. I would be happy to get in touch with you and discuss !
