From the McMurdo Long Term Ecological Research site Facebook page: 'We at the MCM are absolutely devastated to have to pass the news on that our close friend and colleague, Diana Wall Diana Wall passed away on March 26.' #Antarctica #Astrobiology #ecology #LTER

FYI: five #BlueSkyInvites for you!
Just write me ;)

5 #BlueSky codes available, let me know 🦋

All AMI traps for the Biodiversa+ (European Biodiversity Partnership) sub-pilot on invasive insects are now up and running in South Tyrol 🥳 If the weather stays this warm, they will be able to stay active for quite some time. Alpine Environment - Eurac Research Toke Thomas Høye

New harvester ant species described in Zoologischer Anzeiger, dedicated to a beloved colleague Universität Innsbruck @[email protected] who passed away much too early!

Three of our colleagues are presenting their latest research on #birds #bees & #alpine #plants today and tomorrow at the GfÖ Annual Meeting in #Leipzig . Feel free to visit their sessions and have a chat if you're interested!🌿

Fruitful discussions at #GfOE23 when presenting our Biodiversa+ (European Biodiversity Partnership) pilot study on soil biodiversity 😀Alpine Environment - Eurac Research

Over the past four decades, #alpine #plants have migrated upward by about 200m to protect themselves from rising temperatures. In a project called #UPSHIFT , a team is investigating what happens to plants at different altitudes in the terraXcube, our #environment simulator.

Yesterday, we as #AlpSoil_Lab concluded the #sWORM2 ( #SoilBON EW) sampling.
Sometimes challenging in the alpine sites: 1) due to the steepness, and 2) due to interrupting and VERY curious horned fellas 😅
Looking forward to the results!

Hey #SoilTemp community 🖐️
Did anyone experience such damages on the TOMST sun shields?
I suggest it is a combination of high radiation (loggers are at 2500m) followed by heavy summer storms (large hailstones)? ⛈️

Cheers!

A lot of #alpine #SoilBiology sampling these days.

Looking forward to the results!

Heute ist #ShowYourStripes Tag und ich frage mich, ob es die 'Klima-Streifen' auch für #Südtirol gibt, Dieter Peterlin? 🌡️🏔️

Happy to share our new #AlpSoil_Lab paper about high alpine #soilfauna (1500-3000m) 🤓

Activity densities (pitfall traps), diversity patterns, and (potential) functional groups along three separate elevational gradients in the #LTSERMatsch (LTER-Italy)

It‘s still winter above the treeline, but nevertheless we did our first #AlpSoil_Lab sampling of the year to see how abandonment affects #soil #invertebrates , especially 🪱. With ⁦Michael ヘビ Steinwandter⁩ and ⁦Luigi Borruso 🔬🧬🌍⁩

What's wrong with...

High-seas plastic cleanup
Deep-sea mining
Mesopelagic fishing
High-seas geoengineering?

In our new paper, we discovered a HUGE issue at the heart of these industries. And ignoring it is a risk to all of us... [a thread 🧵]
