We explore how community gardens can promote pollinator diversity and provide tips for practice.
Evolutionary Diversity Dynamics Research Acoustic Forest Monitoring Forest monitoring is an important approach to maintaining and enhancing the state of forests. For this purpose, various methods are employed to evaluate the ecological, economic, and social functions of forests and to monitor changes in ecosystems. To ensure effective monitoring, it is essential to comprehensively record all relevant aspects of biodiversity in the forest. One promising method for surveying species that produce sounds is the use of (bio)acoustic methods.
Solar System, Impacts & Meteorites Research Novel perspectives on our Solar System History recorded in the Atacama Desert (NoSHADE) In the interdisciplinary NoSHADE project funded by the European Research Council (ERC), Dr. Jenny Feige and her team are investigating the history of our solar system using sediments in the driest and oldest desert in the world, the Atacama Desert.

Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Discovery Research Extinction of Species The diversity of thistle fruit flies For decades, a loss of biodiversity has been observed all over the world. Extinction of species endangers the animal and plant community and, according to prognoses, could lead to a collapse of ecosystems worldwide. The interdependence of the animal and plant world is particularly evident on the example of insects. However, just one third of all insect species have been described, which means that a large number of them is threatened with extinction in the shadows. For this reason, the Ukrainian scientist Prof. Valery A.
