Nature research paper: Airborne DNA reveals predictable spatial and seasonal dynamics of fungi go.nature.com/3xSDTWa

Great work on #barkbeetle management together w/ Johannes Kamp (@kampjohannes.bsky.social) & colleagues from HLNUG Uni Göttingen and #NWFVA! Bark gouging heads can help protect biodiversity and combat pest species. 🪲🌲 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/26…

Another great paper together w/ our Wildlife & Conservation @ Uni Freiburg colleagues from the #bavarianforest 🌲🌳🌲 recently published in Basic and Applied Ecology shows that seasonal variability of scavenger visitations is independent of #carrion predictability!☠️🫎 Give it a read here👇🏼

Die Frankenschau Bayerischer Rundfunk berichtete kürzlich über den Uniwald Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg in dem auch wir regelmäßig für unsere Forschungs-Projekte unterwegs sind.🌳🐛🦋🐞🐦‍⬛ #TREELANDS #LifeSPAN #BETAFOR BETA-FOR br.de/nachrichten/ba…

Two weeks of exciting field work at Shiretoko National Park with AkiraSMori, Ecosystem Dynamics and Forest Management TU Munich and Ecological Station Fabrikschleichach 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!

Last week was full of exciting #science! ✨️Together with our students we applied a variety of ecological methods during the #forestecology summer course in the Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg forest and around our station to learn about bats, birds and insects.🐦‍⬛🐞🦇

Great collaboration with #BerchtesgadenNationalpark in understanding alpine birds using #bioacoustics! 🎶🐦‍⬛🏔

What an exciting week! Our PhD students Giorgi Mamadashvili and Peter Kriegel P.Kriegel successfully defended their PhD thesis @uni_wue last week. 🌳🌲🐞 Congrats to the very first Doctors of our new Chair! 🎓🥳

Spannende Führung zum Thema #Wald und #Wissen im Rahmen der Deutschen Waldtage BMEL im Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg Wald.🌳🌳🌲 Kommt vorbei!🐞🐦‍⬛🎶🦇

How do #Scavengers feast #year-round? A #Deer #carcasses study by De Pelsmaeker, Nicolas Ferry, Marco Heurich et al from Wildlife & Conservation @ Uni Freiburg, eco_FSF & Zoology III Würzburg revealed that #Foxes, #Martens, & #Lynx have distinct eating habits.

Great, slightly provocative talk by our colleague Jörg Müller Conservation Biology & Forest Ecology in the #gfoe2024 session on #insectdeclines, with important recommendations

Am 1. Oktober wird der #Faktencheck #Artenvielfalt veröffentlicht und liefert damit den ersten #deutschlandweiten Bericht zu #Biodiversität. Über 150 Wissenschaftler*innen haben ca. 6.000 Publikationen zusammengefasst. Der Bericht ist im Buchhandel und als Open Access verfügbar.

Happy to be part of this year's GfÖ conference #GfÖ2024 in Freising TU München! 🤩What an inspiring week with many great talks and discussions so far.✨️

Science meets art! 🧬🔬🎨 Impressions from our research project in the Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg forest inspired the artist Asuka Hishiki to design a Beta-For-est wallpaper. Really cool! 🤩 🌳🍁🐞🪱🌿 instagram.com/reel/C91BMg-yp…

Thanks again to the organizers TU München for a fantastic #gfö2024 conference in Freising! We (Conservation Biology & Forest Ecology, Zoology III Würzburg & Global Change Ecology Group Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg) look forward to welcome you in September 2025 for the next GfÖ conference at @Uni_WUE in Würzburg!
