🌍🌿🎙️ World Biodiversity Forum: "Too little is being done in politics" Gabriela Schaepman-Strub and Cornelia Krug in an interview with Daniel Sager about the third World Biodiversity Forum. 📺 Listen to the full interview on SRF! [buff.ly/4cvOFQL ]

We had a great #WBF2024session yesterday on #ConservationScience, #policy and #diplomacy co-organised by Clara Zemp Swiss Young Academy , Eva Spehn Forum Biodiversität Schweiz and Mollie Chapman D-USYS@ETH. World Biodiversity Forum at #Davos wbf2024.abstractserver.com/program/#/deta…

🌍🌿🎙️ Biodiversity: How Research Influences Political Processes Anne Kempel, Gabriela Schaepman-Strub and Josef Settele discuss with Deutschlandfunk how scientific findings shape political decisions and policies. 📺 Listen to the full interview here: buff.ly/45wdf1E

🦋🦊Introducing #trophiCH 🌿🐛, the Swiss 🇨🇭national #metaweb of >1 million empirically-based #trophic interactions between 23k #species. For a sneak peek at how Merin Reji Chacko @merinrejichacko.bsky.social and colleagues built this #foodweb, check out our 📄preprint here: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/vie…

Is fragmentation bad or good for biodiversity? Yes! We use a classical competition-colonization metacommunity model to show that fragmentation can increase or decrease diversity depending on the total amount of habitat in the landscape. iDiv Biodiversity Research Universität Halle (inaktiv) nature.com/articles/s4155…

Soil health as a driver of plant productivity. Our new paper in NatureEcoEvo using data from >500 sites and 27 European countries shows that soil health is associated with higher primary productivity. see: nature.com/articles/s4155… Variables of soil fertility including total N

How is biodiversity maintained in nature, where wild fluctuations can drive populations to extinction? In the early 90s, my Lab Complex Systems Lab and others showed that dispersal is the key to global stability out of local chaos bascompte.net/content/public…

Our paper is published today in nature journal! If you want to know more about how communities interact across habitats and interaction types, and their effects on ecosystem functioning and stability, the paper is here🔽 nature.com/articles/s4158…

🔥New paper out in Science!!🔥 Science Magazine We found that a third of the seed dispersers and interactions face potential extinction, in Europe 🌿🌳🐦‍⬛🦆🌍 This was an incredibly challenging (and rewarding!) chapter of my PhD thesis! #seeddispersal science.org/doi/abs/10.112…

We're looking forward to our next seminar! Jacqueline Oehri will present a multi-indicator, multispecies framework for rapid connectivity assessments at fine spatial resolutions across large ecoregions, and how it can be integrated with species distribution models. More info...⬇️
