Forest management and climate-induced tree dieback shape forest structure. We found that dung beetle communities and individual species responded strongly to such structural changes, as did dung removal rates.

Still super grateful for having worked in the Galápagos last year! 🐢🏝
Now the reason for this beautiful (and partly exhausting) fieldwork is out in @jappliedecology.bsky.social led by the brilliant Kirtana Kumar @cofeuniwue.bsky.social

Congrats to Kirtana Kumar on her first new publication! 🎉
Her study reveals responses of Galápagos lizards following invasive mammal eradication, a fascinating example of how quickly ecosystems can respond to conservation action🦎
Give it a read!

The conference was a huge success! Thanks to all the visitors of our posters and talks 🦦 We had nice conversations and discussions because of your questions 🪲 We're now heading to the Waddensea and than we have to say goodbye to Odense 🪱 Thanks @nordicoikos.bsky.social and @gfoesoc.bsky.social !
Correction: the talk will be in K3!
Our PhD-Student Anna-Lena is presenting her work today at the @gfoesoc.bsky.social @nordicoikos.bsky.social conference 🦦 So if you are interested in habitat suitability modelling of the Eurasien otter come visit her at 15:00 in K2🏞
If you are interested in urban ecology or forest ecology visit our posters in the Konzerthus this afternoon! 🌳🌇 We are at stand 33 and 14 📃 @gfoesoc.bsky.social @nordicoikos.bsky.social
Just arrived in Odense! Ready for conference 🪱🦦🪲
