I’ve had a wonderful week infiltrating the ranks of meteorologists! I’m always excited to share my own research, and I’ve learnt a lot about climatology, a subject with so much collaborative potential with ecology 🌦️🌱🦋🌍

I’m very excited to be sharing some of my work on quantifying microclimates and their performance during heatwaves at this years European Meteorological Society conference! I’m very much outside my comfort zone and looking forward to learning lots about climatology across scales 🕵️‍♀️🌍🔍

On the last day of #gfoe2025 our postdoc @esme-ashe.bsky.social emphasized the importance of written #biodiversity records for enhancing our understanding of biodiversity change.

🌟 We are beyond excited to present the GFÖ 2025 Honorary Medal to Prof. Dr. Volker Grimm! 🎉

His outstanding and future-oriented research in ecological modelling has paved the way for deeper insights into how ecological systems work 🌍✨

🎉 Congratulations to Dr. Marie-Christin Wimmler, winner of the Horst-Wiehe Prize 2025 for best PhD thesis!

Her work ‘Integrating Natural Root Grafting into Vegetation Dynamic Models’ advances ecological modelling and deepens understanding of plant interactions. 🌱

1️⃣❓️How to get published in ecology❓️

A great direct way to learn & ask questions about/to journals (i.e. some of their editors) @gfoesoc.bsky.social #gfoe2025

2️⃣❓️Should we do a gofundme page for @uni-wuerzburg.de to get functional microphones?🤭❓️

Great activity!

Amazing keynote by Zuzana Burivalova at #gfoe2025 on soundscapes, African tropical forests, and conservation. www.soundforestlab.org/soundscapeba...

A pleasure to be (co-)supervising these young folks @globalchangeeco.bsky.social, together with @esme-ashe.bsky.social and @christianzehner.bsky.social

We are happy and proud about our MSc students Lars Landgraf and Karl Gehrig presenting posters on their thesis on landscape heterogeneity and thermal butterfly behaviour yesterday at #gfoe2025

Our PhD student @funbirdeco.bsky.social presented his recent work on the global variation of phylogenetic and functional bird diversity on islands at #gfoe2025 Thanks, Jan, for a great talk!

Quite some interests in the #Macroecology session of our Macrecology interest group wothin @gfoesoc.bsky.social #gfoe2025

If you want to be part of our highly international email list for jobs & more PM me.

Great talk in the #macroecology session at #gfoe2025 by @pro-pink.bsky.social on global hotspots of butterfly diversity. Check out their recent paper in @natecoevo.nature.com : www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thanks to @bugecology.bsky.social for a fantastic #gfoe2025 keynote on „Living on the edge - what determines species range limits“!

Super happy to hear @bugecology.bsky.social as keynote on @gfoesoc.bsky.social #gfoe2025 talking about species range dynamics

A topic he's also working on w sDiv support @idiv-research.bsky.social

We’re thrilled to announce that the GfÖ Annual Conference 2026 will be a joint event with the Nordic Society OIKOS (NSO), taking place in Odense, Denmark! 🇩🇰✨

See you on 14-17 Sep 2026!

Congratulations to Volker Grimm on receiving the @gfoesoc.bsky.social Honorary Medal for his outstanding contributions to ecology! So well deserved! #gfoe2025

Our postdoc Roberto Novella Fernandez presented his new work on phenological variation of functional traits in butterflies. #gfoe2025 Check out his paper on dragonflies @natcomms.nature.com, also highlighting the phenological dimension of functional diversity variation www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A truly amazing highlight of #gfoe2025 at @uni-wuerzburg.de yesterday evening: Jan Haft and members of the Orchestras of Change with their „Climate and Wilderness show“

Very important & cool project on mobilizing historic bird monitoring data & analysing older trend baselines then by @kampjohannes.bsky.social
#gfoe2025

If you know someone who might has old bird data from Germany, get in touch w Johannes

#gfoe2025 has started, whohoo! Just enjoyed 2 great talks by @kampjohannes.bsky.social & @felixneff.bsky.social, highlighting the importance of considering longer time periods than just the last 2 decades to understand #biodiversity trends

A photo of a water ringlet (Erebia pronoe) on a hand

One of the stars of the last few weeks has been the lovely water ringlet (Erebia pronoe), who have stunning markings and vivid colours when fresh. 🤩 They’re quite friendly really, if you don’t mind the tickling!

And that’s a wrap! Today I finished my butterfly sampling in the Alps, with a final visit to my highest elevation site (and probably my favourite). I caught my 606th butterfly of the month, and it’s time to head home 🦋🗻

Can we harness the knowledge of local or amateur entomologists to investigate long-term change? 🤔 I’ll be demonstrating how observations of the natural world can be translated into meaningful data and trends at @gfoesoc.bsky.social Thurs 12:15pm 0.001 📚🏫
