New study on bats & agriculture in mountain ecosystems! 🦇🌄. Using passive acoustic monitoring🎧, we explore how agricultural practices impact bat diversity, with natural elements promoting richness & manure hills having a negative effect.

New study on forest-grassland ecotone expansion in the Eastern #Alps! 🌲Using the iLand model💻, we explore how #climatechange impacts and land-use abandonment shape forest dynamics & species shifts. 🔗@SpringerEcology @marco_mina_ @edfm_tum @RammerWerner.

(3) 📊After over 5 years of biodiversity monitoring in more than 300 sites investigated, only four specimens were found in two different sites! 😮 .These findings emphasize how these minuscule creatures are so rare! Jewels for the biodiversity of our territory. ❤️.

(2) Even though widespread, this ant is hard to find, due to its incredibly small size (~ 1mm🐜) and its shy behaviour, spending its entire life underground. It feeds on small soil animals & covers a wide range of habitats, but its biology and behaviour are still unknown! 🕵️.
