🕊️ Alpine farmland is losing its biodiversity.
New research shows:
✅ Natural habitats & habitat diversity help #birds thrive
❌ Intensification fragments landscapes & harms ecosystems
🌍 #Conservation must scale across landscapes

📣SAVE THE DATE📣

The European Congress of Conservation Biology (ECCB) 2026 will be held in Leiden, 6–10 July! The theme of the conference is “Effective Conservation Science”.

Join global experts to explore effective conservation science through keynotes, workshops, field trips, and more.

Postdoc call in Mechanistic Biodiversity Modelling (up to 6 ya) at my lab @unibonn.bsky.social. We focus on modelling terrestrial plant communities, island biogeography, range dynamics, eco-evolutionary feedbacks, diversity gradients, tropical forests, vascular epiphytes. Pls rt! shorturl.at/CL1ny

How do we decide on conservation actions in the face of context dependency?

In our new paper on ‘Precision Ecology’

we show how methods developed in medicine & marketing

can be applied to predict site-specific outcomes

allowing effective & targeted conservation

Happy to be part of this paper: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... We present a new classification-occupancy model for automatically identified species data, including a step-by-step guide to fit it to your own data. Relevant for everyone working with e.g. ecoacoustic data!

Happy to have collaborated with such great researchers in this open access paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.bi... In it we xplore the opportunities, challenges, and next steps for Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) in supporting result-based payments (RBP) for soniferous species across Europe.

Tomorrow will be eBird's Global Big Day: ebird.org/globalbigday
In my paper, I analyzed how COVID-19 lockdowns affected biodiversity data collection. It was interesting to see how, even during lockdown, data collection skyrocketed during eBird Big Days in some countries (Costa Rica in the figure).

Happy to share our new paper! www.nature.com/articles/s41... Five years ago around this time, most people were entering the first COVID-19 lockdown. We analyzed how these restrictions affected the amount of biodiversity data collected during the lockdown, using data from @gbif.org

OECD countries give a smaller share of their national income to foreign aid today than in 1960

We examine how to enhance biodiversity in productive grasslands in our new open access book chapter

Camera traps are infrequently used in farmlands, but why, and what could we gain from their wider adoption in agroecosystems? Read our new paper about it: doi.org/10.1002/rse2...
Thanks to all who contributed!
