The Ecosystem Resilience Group had a lovely lab-outing at the Bavarian Forest. Interesting discussions, hotpot, lots of nature. @sebseibold.bsky.social @shamikroy.bsky.social @jiayunzou.bsky.social @chao-guo.bsky.social (And lots of people who are not on here)

Three days in the Bavarian Forest National Park with our #EcoRes group - sharing ideas, exploring new directions, and enjoying some time together beyond the usual routine. 🌲🥾 @sebseibold.bsky.social @stellawimmer.bsky.social @denisnjoroge.bsky.social @jiayunzou.bsky.social @chao-guo.bsky.social

Happy #InternationalMicroorganismDay! 🦠🌍 From soils to forests, tiny organisms have an enormous impact. At #BIOCOMP, we’re celebrating the microbial world and the researchers working to understand it. Here’s to curiosity, collaboration, and discoveries still to come!

Happy International Microorganism Day to everyone studying, teaching, or simply curious about the microbial world! This #InternationalMicroorganismDay, I’m reflecting on a month immersed in microbial ecology. 🦠

Deadwood may look quiet, but its microbial communities tell a global story. 🌲🦠 At #ISME20, I’ll present our #BIOCOMP work on how climate and land-use change shape microbial diversity across the world’s forests. 20 Aug | 10–11 a.m. | PS3.22.405, NZICC Come say kia ora!

Our climate‑warming experiment on wood‑decomposing fungi is finally running! Testing how different wood decomposing fungi populations respond to warming—thanks to the new climate chambers at TU Dresden Tharandt.

#BIOCOMP Module 2 is now set up in Spain. Logs are in place, nature takes over, and fresh data is on the horizon. Module 2 examines fungi-insect interactions and their effects on wood decomposition across different climatic zones. P.C. @sebseibold.bsky.social

We rounded up fieldwork for 2025 with #BIOCOMP forest inventory at our Ankasa field site in Ghana. Of course, we didn't leave without a splash in River Ankasa and a spontaneous stop at the beach. 😀🌴 It's been a remarkable year for my group. @biocomp-erc.bsky.social @shamikroy.bsky.social

We are looking forward to seeing many participants in the BE20 conference, marking the twentieth anniversary of the @bexplo.bsky.social Biodiversity Exploratories, which have a special place in our hearts and research group. Hope to see you in June '26!

Do we want to age? The answer might be overwhelmingly NO. The question is, what are we doing about it? Prof. Ramakrishnan's public talk at @tudresden.bsky.social on ageing attempted to answer why and how humans age and how we can slow down ageing.

This year, we started a new experiment as part of BIOCOMP studying interactions between insects and fungi in deadwood, especially vectoring, and their effects on decomposition. The first site in Germany has been set up, and some model insect species have moved into their new homes.

Uncertainty or stochasticity is the norm in fieldwork. Everything can be planned, but nature has its own way. Our natural forest site in Germany was destroyed by a wild boar attack last January. However, thanks to the local foresters, we could replace it quickly, now well protected. #BIOCOMP ISA
