- Reposted by Alexandra KleinNew study on arthropod declines @natecoevo.nature.com 🪲 In two time series @jena-experiment.bsky.social & @bexplo.bsky.social we show how community (dis)assembly underpins local biomass declines. It mostly boils down to species loss, with identity losing relevance. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Hey plant guys. Just remind you that wild bees are sleeping now. Or is climate change pushing you to flower?

- Reposted by Alexandra KleinSpring time... to get busy! And these two Tetanocerini wasted no time. Named marsh flies, these insects live next to water bodies, and apparently the larvae are gastropod (slugs & snails) hunters/parasites?!

- Alicia Kling tested successfully oral and contact exposures of several pesticides with an oligolectic versus poylectic bee species as part of @wildposh.eu together with @juliaosterman.bsky.social Dimitry Wintermantel. Great presentation at the annual conferene of bee research institutes.
- Reposted by Alexandra KleinWe're finding lots of small (and some bigger) critters as we go along our springtime #fieldwork in Jiangxi China. Some wonderful Trametes fungi growing off deadwood we left in the forest last year! While #predators like Heteropoda (huntsman) and Telamonia (jumping) feast on termites. #macromonday

- Reposted by Alexandra KleinThe first flowers are showing their face and early spring is there. In this period, you can help pollinators by growing valuable sources of nectar and pollen, since they can be short in supply at this time of the year. The art is to pick the right plants for your garden👇Choose: #pollinators
