Our latest #EcolClips is about one of my favourite insects: the praying mantis. Why do females sometimes eat males? How do mantises protect themselves from predators? Why are they solitary? Mantises are turning up more and more across Germany; so here are some facts about this amazing #insect.

(Theme 5) State-and-transition diagrams can express what we think about possible future ecosystem dynamics in a form useful for public debate and for focusing on the most important uncertainties. (And there are lots of uncertainties.)

(Theme 4) Some ecosystems are strongly influenced by particular invasive species, so if gene technologies can be developed to suppress them, that can open up new options.

(Theme 2) Present-day temperature envelopes may be completely displaced from present-day distributions for many foundation species. Mechanisms setting species boundaries are not well understood, and it remains unclear whether to migrate species geographically, and which species.
