We are the chair of global change ecology at @uniwuerzburg.bsky.social led by @christianhof.bsky.social. We study the variation and future of biodiversity under global change. biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/gce/
Thrilled to share our new paper with the brilliant @srishtipatil.bsky.social & @sabinenoebel.bsky.social ! 🎉

Die Biodiversität von Libellen, Tagfaltern und Heuschrecken in Bayern steht vorerst im Zentrum der Kooperation mit dem Landesamt für Umwelt. Die Bilder zeigen (von links) eine Blauflügelige Ödlandschrecke, ein Tagpfauenauge und eine Kleine Moosjungfer. (Fotos: Christian Hof)
Wie verändert sich die #Biodiversität bei #Insekten in #Bayern – und warum? Forschende @globalchangeeco.bsky.social nutzen jetzt die Datenbank #KarlaNatur des Bayerischen Landesamtes für Umwelt @lfu.bayern.de um Zukunftstrends zu modellieren.

Schätze müssen gehoben werden, so auch die Datenschätze zur #Biodiversität. Wir freuen uns über die Fortsetzung der Kooperation mit dem @lfu.bayern.de zur Nutzung der bayerischen Insektendaten, um zu neuen Erkenntnissen in Wissenschaft & Naturschutz beizutragen

Seems like the findings of @johannaasch.bsky.social on #dungbeetle diversity well match to the temperature stress responses of the forest dung beetle to changing climates🌡🪲 Stay tuned for exciting further insights 🤩
📃 Paper from press release:
besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Some weeks ago I submitted my first own research proposal. And now it got accepted! 😍 This means, @ecoresearchzoo3.bsky.social will go underground and start investigating the evolution of cave arthropods. So excited for this new chapter! 🦇 🪲🕷️

Want to know more about how forest structural heterogeneity influences biodiversity?
Check out the recent publication about hoverflies by our PhD student @claudiki.bsky.social 🪰🌸
@betafor.bsky.social
Check out the new paper of our PhD student @johannaasch.bsky.social in @jappliedecology.bsky.social!
Showing that dung beetles do not profit from conservation targeted management aiming at increasing structural heterogeneity in production forests 🪲🌳 @betafor.bsky.social
"We're here in 2026, & we're not making any progress. We continue to increase emissions."
Prof. Johan Rockström, @pik-potsdam.bsky.social on the disconnect between climate goals & the reality of our rising global emissions. Stagnation is a risk we can't afford to stay within planetary boundaries. 🚨
Many thanks to everyone who joined on Friday and made it such a memorable afternoon—we greatly appreciate the warm welcome in Würzburg! @cctb-wue.bsky.social @biologie-uniwue.bsky.social #WueBiT
🔍 We’re hiring! Our chair is looking for a motivated Researcher to join our team! 🌳
The aim of the project is to analyse insect communities and their responses to different forest structural conditions. 🪲🦋
We’re looking forward to your application. 🌲📩

Amazing inaugural lecture double feature today by Kathi Zarnack @zarnack-group.bsky.social and Sabine Fischer! @cctb-wue.bsky.social. Here’s to formalising a core bioinformatics, computational and theoretical biology competence @uni-wuerzburg.de
Thanks for a wonderful inaugural lecture event by Kathi Zarnack @zarnack-group.bsky.social & Sabine Fischer @cctb-wue.bsky.social. Packed lecture hall indicates the interest in bioinformatics & computational biology. Very happy to have you as colleagues @biologie-uniwue.bsky.social
We are currently looking for a postdoctoral researcher with expertise in community ecology to work in the Arthropods Core Project of the Biodiversity Exploratories @bexplo.bsky.social
Reposting is much appreciated for widest reach! Thanks.

Very happy to have @jgrubalcaba.bsky.social as a guest at our lab to talk about ongoing & new collaborations. Thanks for a fantastic talk in the @uni-wuerzburg.de Biocenter colloquium about his work that integrates biophysical modelling with macroecology to better understand diversity variation.
TIBS 2026 conference was a great opportunity to keep disseminating the @peeer.bsky.social initiative and to present the field's New, Diamond 💎 Open Access journal @biogeographyjfab.bsky.social
Grateful to Michael N. Dawson for the leadership and trust to co-lead this new endeavour
#TIBS2026
I was delighted to receive a best poster award at the closing ceremony yesterday! Had a great time at #TIBS2026 and look forward to seeing all the wonderful biogeographers again in the future 🌍🌎🌏 @biogeography.bsky.social
As we near the final stages of #TIBS2026, Rob Whittaker shares exciting insights into the Frontiers of Biogeography journal —covering its development, impact factor, and a compelling call to action for @biogeography.bsky.social members to help grow the journal. ⏩ biogeography.pensoft.net
The news is finally out — #TIBS2028 will be held in #China 🇨🇳
The conference will take place in #Beijing, bringing the global #biogeography community together again after two years.
High expectations for an exciting meeting and stimulating discussions.
As we approach the final segment of #TIBS2026, Susanne Renner takes the stage to share impressive highlights: 475 abstracts from 32 countries and 12 proposals for symposia.
⏩️❓️‼️ If you have your biogeography research to be published, there is the perfect journal with an impact factor of 2.5 & being led & driven by a great society @biogeography.bsky.social🎉‼️⏪️

#tibs2026 #macroecology @tibsaarhus2026.bsky.social
A wonderful #TIBS2026 @tibsaarhus2026.bsky.social conference has ended. Thanks to the @au.dk team for organizing! And thanks to our @globalchangeeco.bsky.social team for the great company! We now look forward to #TIBS2028 im Beijing!
Congratulations to our @esme-ashe.bsky.social for winning one of the @biogeography.bsky.social poster award at #TIBS2026. Well deserved! 🎉
The @globalchangeeco.bsky.social team (@christianhof.bsky.social, @esme-ashe.bsky.social, @nicolas-willems.bsky.social, @christianzehner.bsky.social & Lars Landgraf) at #TIBS2026 - we really enjoyed great #biogeography science & the exchange with wonderful colleagues from all over the world.
Great talk at #TIBS2026 by @dirknkarger.bsky.social on how adapting land use to climate change may mitigate global biodiversity decline. Along these lines: check out our new paper on land use and climate change impacts on global biodiversity: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
Unfortunately our MSc student Mara @markusch.bsky.social couldn’t make it #TIBS2026, but her wonderful poster on grasshopper thermoregulation along an elevational gradient made it, and @esme-ashe.bsky.social did a great job presenting and explaining it.
To the #TIBS2026 crowd and everyone else: we are hiring! Please spread the word and/or write to @ekengelhardt.bsky.social to hear more about her great project and her PhD position!
I had the opportunity to present the first results of my Master’s thesis at #TIBS2026
My work focuses on grasshopper colouration along an elevational gradient. Great discussions and valuable feedback! Thanks to everyone who stopped by! 🦗⛰️
