Job offer: PostDoc in biotic and trophic interactions 90% (f/m/d) As part of the interdisciplinary PAPPUS project, which explores how plant communities and urban green space management support biodiversity and residents' quality of life, you will work with existing data. Your focus will be on analyzing biotic and trophic interactions between plants and arthropods, including predators, herbivores, pollinators, and detritivores. The data were collected from 60 public and private green spaces in Zurich. Your first task will be to analyse metabarcoding data from over 1200 invertebrate samples to generate a species lists. You will then examine the structure of mutualistic and antagonistic multitrophic networks, including food webs, and model their responses to urbanisation, management intensity, and plant preferences among residents. The position offers flexibility to develop your own research ideas within the scope of PAPPUS. You are expected to publish your findings in high-impact journals and present them at international conferences. Engagement with practitioners, especially through presentations and outreach in French, is also an important part of this PostDoc. You have a PhD degree in environmental science or in a related field. You have a good publication record as well as a background in ecological sciences and quantitative analyses. Proficiency in bioinformatic, metabarcoding, multitrophic ecology (food web), and ecological modelling is required, as is good knowledge of trait-based ecology. Practical and interdisciplinary experiences (e.g., with urban engineers) and knowledge of the principles and theories of urban ecology are helpful. You are ambitious, motivated and communicative. You are used to a high standard of independent, structured and you demonstrate a high level of team spirit. Proficiency in English and French, as well as good knowledge in German is required.

Aprendimos sobre biodiversidad en lagos con Zeynep Ersoy: “Unravelling food web topology in high mountain
lakes along environmental and anthropogenic gradients”

Biodiversity modulates the cross‐community scaling relationship in changing environments Organismal abundance typically declines with increasing body size, with metabolic theory predicting a universal size–abundance slope of –0.75. Using protist microcosms across gradients of species ric...

Does body size predict abundance the same way in all environments, as predicted by the Metabolic theory of Ecology? Our new study challenges this assumption. Read it here: 📄 doi.org/10.1111/ele....

🏔️ Zeynep Ersoy, Javier Sánchez Hernández, Ignasi Arranz Urgell y Guillermo García Gómez, investigadores del #IICG y @biodiversosurjc.bsky.social muestreando en lagos de montaña. ¡Excelente trabajo! 🙌

My first sampling experience this year in mountain lakes was tough but magnificent 🤩 thanks to the team, Javi Sánchez Hernández @ignasiarranz.bsky.social @guillegargomez.bsky.social @biodiversosurjc.bsky.social @iicg-urjc.bsky.social

Looking for openly available:
- before-after data in space
- with a restoration measure inbetween (e.g. dam/invasive spec. removal, urban green space creation...)
- min. 10 sites (quadrats / random places along a stream / ponds...)
- species data, env. data of some sort, GPS coordinates

Great fieldwork at Laguna Grande de Peñalara ⛰️

Back to life after 50 years: effects of environmental flow restoration on macroinvertebrate biodiversity and river ecological status. A case study of the Valseco stream, Spain The construction of dams and reservoirs to meet increasing water and electricity demands has significantly altered many natural river flows, posing threats to the ecological integrity of freshwater e...

Our new paper shows how a small Iberian stream, dry for 50 years, bounced back to good ecological status in <2 years after environmental flows were restored. 🌊🪱

New database on thermal tolerance on freshwater invertebrates and fish - major effort by Helena Bayat and many collaborators. Freely available here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thrilled to share our new article published in Hydrobiologia!🎉

We found that hydrological connectivity, rather than pond age, was the key driver of community assembly in coastal ponds.

Many thanks to the co-authors🙌🏻
