Several of our PhDs presented posters in today's poster session at #gfoe2023. Posters about modeling habitat potential Sven Rubanschi, effects of plant chemistry on insects Lina Marcela, and the effects of mowing on insect communities (Robert Künast). Nice first conference day.

Trends of insect #biodiversity in Central Europe and their #conservation implications - great talk by Eva Katharina Engelhardt at #gfoe23. Read more here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… and here: conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

How can we use ecoregions to boost occurrence information for taxa that are not well covered in biogeographical databases? Stefan Pinkert tells us how in his cool talk at #gfoe23. Read more here: d197for5662m48.cloudfront.net/documents/publ…

Global Change Ecology Group @Uni_WUE on the #gfoe2023 with talk's by Christian Hof Eva Katharina Engelhardt Christian Zehner and a poster by Jan Kalusche

Very happy to attend the final symposium of the Bavarian #climate research network bayklif, taking place in snowy #Munich. Here: Alice Classen presenting the results of her ADAPT project, see e.g. their paper Diversity & Distributions: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

The #ibsprague2024 conference program is over - with a great lineup of talks and fantastic posters. We enjoyed the conference with all current scientific group members - best team ever! And we will grow soon - watch out for updates!

Very happy and proud about this prize from Stadt.Freising for my Master thesis in the light of insect decline, protected areas and land use! Thanks to Terrestrial Ecology, data from Bayerisches Landesamt für Umwelt and the amazing Team and supervision by Global Change Ecology Group @Uni_WUE !!! bayklif TU München

Today I gave my first course/lecture in methods of field zoology at the University of Würzburg. Breeding birds and flight behaviour of raptors from 6 am to 2 pm. Thanks to the super motivated students, Eva Katharina Engelhardt and Global Change Ecology Group @Uni_WUE.

Christian Hof is head of the new Chair of Global Change #Ecology at the University of Würzburg. His research focuses on how #climatechange and human impacts affect species and ecosystems. (📷Hofmann/JMU) ▶️uni-wuerzburg.de/en/news-and-ev…

At Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg we have a new international #MSc study program on #conservation biology and applied #ecology. Please RT & forward widely to potentially interested students! biologie.uni-wuerzburg.de/masterbioscien…

On Monday I finally finished my PhD! Now on to new adventures Global Change Ecology Group Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg @Uni_WUE

Second excursion in the field zoology course: today the students learnt how to look at biotopes from the perspective of animals. E.g. reproduction or resting sites, feeding habitats and plants for insects... Big thanks to Global Change Ecology Group @Uni_WUE, Eva Katharina Engelhardt and the students.

Thanks for an excellent conference of the GfÖ AK Macroecology GfÖ! Alex Zizka Alexander Zizka and his team did a great job hosting us in Marburg. Our Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg team presented new results on distributions & diversity of insects & birds at regional, continental & global scales.

After settling into our new office space, our scientific exchange is becoming more and more vibrant. Key element is our weekly Global Change Ecology Group @Uni_WUE seminar where our colleagues present new ideas and current projects. Some impressions:

Today Eva Katharina Engelhardt presents recent species distribution modelling work on two closely related butterfly species

Last week Jan Kalusche talked about global patterns of phylogenetic and functional diversity of island birds

…and 2 weeks ago Hendrik Mohr introduced us to his PhD project which takes part in the impressive Global Change Experimental Facility of the UFZ in Bad Lauchstädt.

Let's #moth! Herzliche Einladung zur Nacht der Motten - am Di, 23.07.2024, von 21 bis 23 Uhr, an der Mensateria auf dem Campus Hubland der Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg. Eva Katharina Engelhardt & Dr Esme Ashe-Jepson präsentieren allen Interessierten die faszinierende Welt der Nachtfalter uni-wuerzburg.de/aktuelles/einb…

Last week we had another great excursion for our course on survey methods with an experienced expert on bats. He showed our students how to detect, handle and protect #bats and told many interesting stories from his work life
