Dr. Dominic RoyéOn my way to #EGU26, perfect time to drop a new post! 🗺️ Something I've been wanting to write about: Mercator projections still showing up in high-profile journals. So here it is: projections you should stop using (for most things) 👇 #gis #rstats #dataviz dominicroye.github.io/blog/map-pro...
New exciting study from our lab @leibniz_lib showing flower strips can reduce #pesticides in #agriculture besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Insecticide‐level pest control provided by in‐field flower stripsOur findings indicate that in-field flower strips or derived legume-based intercropping systems can help reduce reliance on pesticide use in agriculture.besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com

This shows that crop #diversification e.g. through #intercropping can increase yields via indirect multitrophic interactions, helping reduce #pesticides! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Global evidence that plant diversity suppresses pests and promotes plant performance and crop production - Nature Ecology & EvolutionA global synthesis of >600 studies finds that across agro-ecosystems, grasslands and forests in temperate and tropical zones, increasing plant diversity has a consistently positive effect on plant ...www.nature.comThanks for posting, email me if you need an offprint.
LIBA global synthesis finds that higher plant diversity consistently reduces pest pressure and boosts plant growth and crop production across ecosystems from forests to grasslands and farmlands. → doi.org/10.1038/s415... @cscherber.bsky.social 2/3
I'm searching for primary papers&photographs from field experiments in terrestrial ecology on the following topics: -pollution experiments (e. g.light,noise, information pollution) -habitat fragmentation experiments -whole ecosystem&natural experiments (e.g.volcanic eruptions BACI design etc.)
