Happy to share the final paper from my PhD thesis at @ieesparis.bsky.social @sorbonne-universite.fr, now published in @peercomjournal.bsky.social 🐜 ! In parks and forests across the Paris region, urbanisation and habitat loss favour thermophilic and monogynous ant species. doi.org/10.24072/pcj...

Recently, @basilefinand.bsky.social joined our team to strengthen the @bexplo.bsky.social team. This morning, he gave us a broad overview of his past work on effects of habitat fragmentation on ants and carabids. We are certain Basile's skills will be very useful in the years ahead! Nice work :).

Perceived urban microhabitat heterogeneity impacts carabid beetle communities - Landscape Ecology
Context The habitat heterogeneity hypothesis predicts that increased environmental heterogeneity promotes biodiversity by providing more niches. However, few studies have examined whether human percep...

Great discussions at our Seminar: Working Outside Academia! Postdocs at Viikki campus (@helsinki.fi) heard from Heli Salmela (GSK), Pia Kinaret (Synlab), & Edward Kluen (Ramboll) about their journey from academia to industry: challenges, motivations & key advice. Big thanks to all who joined! 🎉
