We had our traditional workgroup autumn seminar in a beautiful countryside hotel in central Estonia. With the help of our guest speaker @aveliina.bsky.social we discussed the topic 'Macroecology in the Anthropocene'. macroecology.ut.ee/en/macroecol...

Happy to welcome three visitors this autumn! Elisa Jordan is a MSc student from Germany. Wengang Zhang is a PhD student from China working on #darkdiversity of #alienspecies. Gerard Martínez Devesa is a PhD student from Spain working on #darkdiversity of #arthropods in deadwood microhabitats.
