Third year in a row that the neighbours and I brew our own beer. Different receipe in 2025, targeting "Helles" instead of "Pils".

And we can now also align species richness to combinations of stressors (Fig 4):

And we can now also align species richness to combinations of stressors (Fig 4):
We observed consistent relation with salinity, oxygen depletion, and fine sediment accumulation, while the relation with nutrient enrichment and warming varied among groups. The results allow us, amongst others, to predict how species richness changes with increasing stressors intensity (Fig. 3):

We extracted data on 1,332 stressor–response relationships from literature and ran Generalised Linear Mixed Models for each dataset individually. With the resulting estimates (e.g. regression coefficients) we performed a Bayesian meta-analysis.
In short, these are the results:

Ich transkribiere ein paar alte Unterlagen, die mein Opa gesammelt hatte, darunter die Ernennungsurkunde als Professor für einen entfernt Verwandten aus dem 19. Jahrhundert. Auch der Text ist toll. Dagegen sieht meine Urkunde aus wie ein Sonderangebot bei Aldi.

One of the most fascinating popular science books I have ever read. History of Europe from the decline of the dinosaurs to the rise of humans.

40+ years ago, I spent much time with placing and controlling nesting boxes for boreal owls (Aegolius funereus) in a mountain range in Germany (Ebbegebirge). Today I found one that survived, though the forest has since long died of drought and the owls disappeared.

Downstream of the alpine #glaciers you find some of the most impressive braided river sections. I wonder what will happen to them in 50 years when the glaciers have melted. Most likely some sort of (boring) floodplain forest.

Yesterday, we observed 42 butterfly species, nice ones like Parnassius apollo and Limenitis reducta, but also rarities like Hipparchia geneva and Muschampia lavatherae.

Poor picture but the proof that we have seen Coenonympha oedippus, one of the rarest European butterflies. In the Rhone floodplain north of Lac du Burget.

Over the last 15 years, we have visited almost all national parks in the Alps. This year Ecriens (France) as the final one. Some plant and insect pictures ahead.
