Trait matching between interacting bird and plant species is widespread globally! Yet its importance for avian seed dispersal is not just about complementarity among consumers but it depends on the resource traits in a community 🧪🌐 Now out in Ecology Letters: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

I enjoyed some great discussions about the ecology of protea plants (and the manifold links to their animal partners) in the Western Cape over the last week. It's just such an amazing team and great place to work 🇿🇦 #ProteaChange

The first pygmy cormorants have bred in SE Germany in 2022 and they continue to expand. Similar trends occur for many other cormorant species globally, likely due to higher food availability and better legal protection. This first year bird is the first at my local patch in #Mainz. Success stories!

Can we use tree-related microhabitats (TreMs)🌳 as indicators of #tropical #biodiversity? Our new study led by Giovanni Bianco shows that TreM diversity actually increases with temperature and decreases with human impact on Kilimanjaro 🇹🇿 Now published in Ecological Indicators: doi.org/10.1016/j.ec...

#Fakten allein reichen nicht aus, um die #Klimakrise zu begreifen, argumentiert Samira El Ouassil. In einem Gespräch mit Silke Jäger erklärt sie, dass Geschichten emotional ansprechen und helfen, abstrakte Krisen wie den #Klimawandel besser zu verstehen: @samelou.bsky.social

Tree-related microhabitats (TreMs) 🌴🌳are important for #biodiversity, and particularly diverse in the #tropics. A useful new catalogue defined and applied by Ronja Nußer at @eco_FSF & coauthors published in Ecol Indicators, see reassembly.de/news/trees-hos

I love nature and the challenge to understand how all its bits and pieces interact to form an ecosystem - including how we as humans shape and relate to nature. Here we are at Senckenberg: www.senckenberg.de/en/institute...
