Influence of temperature and light on the development of moth larvae: Different response in the sister species Orthosia gothica and Orthosia cerasi Experimental rearing of Orthosia gothica and Orthosia cerasi larvae under four controlled climate-chamber treatments (15°C vs. 20°C; 24h darkness vs.12h light/12h dark) to isolate temperature and li...

So excited to share our new paper!

Temperature speeds up larval development in moths, as expected - but light availability tells a more complex story, with opposite effects in two closely related species. 🐛🌡️💡

📢New Paper about varied effects of #grassland mowing on #arthropod taxa. While #mowing generally reduces overall arthropod abundance, it has consistent negative (e.g. Diptera) or positive effects (e.g. Coleoptera) for some taxa. Mixed responses depend on factors like region, sampling, and management

I'd be happy to be included here!

I'd love to be added, too!

Very excited to have the Annual GFÖ Conference in our city! Würzburg is so lovely in late summer ☀️ Save the date!

Oh, I'd love to be added as well!
