Really looking forward to having you iDiv Biodiversity Research and Universität Halle (inaktiv) in the PhenObs project. Willkommen!

I am offering several ERC AdG-funded open positions (1PhD and 3 Postdocs) in my lab (travesetlab.com) at IMEDEA (imedea.uib-csic.es/en). See adverts here: euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/52824 euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/52818

Functional traits and especially vegetative height are stronger linked to the phenology of herbaceous species compared to trees🌱🌿🌳🌼.

Do you want to know how predators disrupt or actually benefit mutualisms? Our new paper led by Holly Moeller, @mixotrophe at other places too w/ me and Roger Nisbet out now in Ecosphere and funded by Dan Thornhill Article: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… Blog Summary: marinebiology4all.com/blog/do-predat…

Thanks to Anna Kuzemko for giving today's iDiv Biodiversity Research talk, and for travelling from Kyiv to co-lead a group with Oksana Buzhdygan 🇺🇦 analyzing/synthesizing scale-explicit data from Ukraine grasslands. Cool to hear that the new record for species # from 1 cm2 comes from Ukraine (11 species).

This paper is a first global attempt to see how well protected areas cover insect species. PAs do not adequately cover the 89K species in the study. And, we need more information on the occupancy of the 5.5 million species that are out there.

It took very long and a lot of effort but finally is out! "Covariation among reproductive traits in flowering plants shapes their interactions with pollinators" doi.org/10.1111/1365-2… With Romina Rader @jamiestavert @pollimetry @ManuSaunders and iBartomeus, what a team!

#Orchidaceae is a hyperdiverse family of spectacular beauty. Today, we published maps of phylogenetic & taxonomic measures of distinctiveness & rarity & identified locations & species in urgent need of #conservation. Paper led by Pati Vitt Scientific Reports: rdcu.be/daIbH

We’re always looking for great students to join our international masters program in biodiversity Universität Halle (inaktiv) , iDiv Biodiversity Research 👇

Looking to pursue a PhD? Come to Halle, Germany and work with a wonderful mentor on the topic of plant communities under global change.

Check out our paper led by Saneesh/(സനീഷ്) about how management through grass removal and fire exclusion increases the diversity and abundance of palatable herbaceous species.

We are looking for a MS level student to help populate the PADRINO IPM Database! This is an excellent position for someone eager to improve their R skills, and to get a proper introduction into statistical and population modeling.
