Fascinating (and very accessible) book about famous and anonymous citizen scientists, showing how and how much passionate amateurs and curious concerned people have built priceless ecological knowledge -- and still do pelagicpublishing.com/products/cit... #CitizenScience #Ecology #Biodiversity

Souffrez-vous de cécité botanique ?
C’est un mal dont nous sommes nombreux à être victime. L’incapacité de voir les plantes qui nous entourent. Et cela a de multiples répercussions.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social · 30/08/2025
📖Published📖 In this review paper, Ferrante and Lövei propose a standardised set of methods to monitor ecosystem functions that underpin ecosystem services and disservices 🌱 🌍 🧪 Read the article here 👇 buff.ly/2rAeHgq
Operational steps to implement the sentinel approach to measure ecosystem function intensities (herbivory and predation) across three habitat types. In the preparation phase, sentinels are produced in a standardised way to ensure consistency across sites and treatments. In the field exposure phase, sentinels are deployed in the selected habitats for a duration appropriate to the targeted ecosystem function (e.g. 2 weeks for herbivory and 24 h for predation). During the retrieval phase, sentinels are collected and assessed to quantify ecosystem function intensities. Finally, the resulting data are interpreted comparatively, allowing for the evaluation of differences in ecosystem function intensities among habitats or treatments. The sentinel approach is designed for relative comparisons rather than for generating absolute measurements.

Happy to share our last study on #forest résistance to #pest insects. We show that mixed forests are equally résistant to both native and invasive pests, whatever their feeding habits. Preprint available 👇🏻 www.authorea.com/users/948030...

More diverse temperate forests are more resistant against non-native insect herbivores
In general, trees suffer less damage by insect herbivores when growing in forest mixtures than in tree monocultures. Yet, most current knowledge is based on responses of native herbivores to tree dive...
