🌍 Non-native species often dominate debates, but #InsideBiodiversity offers a nuanced view. Ute Jandt and Helge Bruelheide (@unihalle.bsky.social) explain that while some non-native species cause severe local damage, others have limited or scale‑dependent effects. 🔗 insidebiodiversity.podigee.io

We are delighted to welcome science journalist Jelena Prtorić @jelena-prtoric.bsky.social to iDiv! She has been selected for a fellowship in the FRONTIERS Science Journalism Residency Programme & will explore the prediction of biodiversity changes & communicating the uncertainties surrounding them.

What makes some plants spiny while others aren't? 🌵 #iDivResearch published in New Phytologist shows plant spininess is shaped by both past and present browsing mammals, as well as climate and soil conditions. Even extinct megafauna have left a lasting imprint on today's vegetation. Link in comments

🌲 The newest episode of #InsideBiodiversity speaks to the trouble with monocultures and how they quietly erode plant diversity. Guests Ute Jandt and Helge Bruelheide (@unihalle.bsky.social) explain how. 🔗 Listen now: insidebiodiversity.podigee.io

🌱 Ecosystems worldwide are becoming more alike. In some places, generalists spread and, in others, specialists fade — a quiet shift with implications. Listen to this month’s #InsideBiodiversity with @unihalle.bsky.social's Ute Jandt and Helge Bruehlheide. 🔗 insidebiodiversity.podigee.io

Biodiversity reduces productivity losses most strongly under extreme drought – especially in drier grasslands. 🌱🌲 A new paper led by Takehiro Sasaki is out in @natecoevo.nature.com with many contributors from @eisenhauerlab.bsky.social at @idiv-research.bsky.social. www.idiv.de/biodiversity...

At iDiv, we foster a diverse, collaborative, and inclusive scientific community. We welcome and support people from all backgrounds and circumstances. As many celebrate diversity this summer, we reaffirm that these values guide our teams, our research, and our culture every day.

🐘 How did Hannibal get his elephants across the Alps? Researchers from iDiv, @uni-jena.de, and @ox.ac.uk have approached this historical puzzle from a new angle: energy 🔋 The results suggest Col de la Traversette was the most energy-efficient route ⛰️ Press release: www.idiv.de/how-did-hann...

🎧 OUT NOW 🌿 The new episode of iDiv’s #InsideBiodiversity asks a simple question: How are the plants doing? Ute Jandt & Helge Bruelheide (@unihalle.bsky.social) explain why greener landscapes can still lose specialist species — and what that means for conservation. 🔗 insidebiodiversity.podigee.io

🦉🔬Die Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften in Halle findet heute Abend statt und Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler von iDiv sind mit spannenden Mitmachprogrammen dabei! Kommt vorbei ab 17 Uhr im Institut der Geobotanik! @unihalle.bsky.social lndwhalle.de/programm?org...

iDiv's Dr Thore Engel (@uni-jena.de, @ufz.de) and NFDI4Biodiversity were awarded the @fdmthueringen.bsky.social FAIRest Dataset Award 2026 for their work on a historical animal occurrence dataset from 1845 Bavaria. 🖥️🏆 Congratulations! 🎉 #iDivResearch forschungsdaten-thueringen.de/nachricht/ge...

🌍 How does biodiversity keep ecosystems functioning? A new study, published today in Nature, shows that healthy ecosystems depend on more than simply having many species. What really matters is the complex web of interactions between plants, herbivores and predators.

New study from iDiv with @naturalis.bsky.social and Kew Gardens. 🌴 110 million years of palm evolution shows changes in traits like leaf size and height helped palms diversify. Led by @sreetamabhadra.bsky.social (now @czechacademy.bsky.social). www.idiv.de/why-biodiver... #iDivResearch

Letzte Woche kamen #iDiv und das Nationale Monitoringzentrum zur Biodiversität zu einem Workshop zusammen. 🗺️ 🌲 🖥️ Der Fokus lag auf fachlichem Austausch, Entwicklungen im Biodiversitätsmonitoring und der Frage, wie Wissenschaft, Daten und gesellschaftliche Bedarfe enger verknüpft werden können. 💡🤝

⏳ 1 week left! Apply now for the iDiv Fellowship Programme and spend dedicated time advancing your research at iDiv. 📅 Deadline: 24 June 2026 🔗 www.idiv.de/research/fel...

🌍 On #InsideBiodiversity, @rondinini.bsky.social says that globally, mammal extinction risk is rising — especially in the tropics.
 Deforestation, overexploitation, and wildlife trade are driving declines, affecting everything from lemurs to great apes. 🎧 Listen now: insidebiodiversity.podigee.io
