What can metabolomics tell us about biodiversity and ecosystem functioning? In this talk, Sergio Rasmann (University of Neuchâtel) will show how phytochemical diversity is not strictly phylogeneticall...

Good science doesn't reach policy on its own. A workshop on what engagement really takes: starting with a phone call.

As glaciers retreat, new lakes emerge and ecosystems develop. A study in Greenland shows that they are highly connected to the surrounding landscape.

Data from weather radars could reduce the risk of collisions of birds with wind turbines—with minimal impact on electricity generation.

Marcel van der Heijden (Agroscope) will discuss how pesticides can impact soil biological communities, alter phosphorus and nitrogen cycling, and suppress beneficial soil taxa.

This study reported widespread declines in resilience after multi-year droughts and showed that biodiversity and climate strongly shape forest resilience after multi-year droughts, but human footprint...
