Please find attached the programme of the PhD course Frontiers in Ecology, Evolution and Biodiversity Conservation - KU Leuven, for which me, @rafaerts & Joachim Mergeay have put together three great symposia with a fantastic lineup of speakers. 🧵
🐝 Our paper led by the brilliant PhD student @dipietroviviana on stingless bees' nest-architecture is out in @CurrentBiology! Let's dive in🧵@TWenseleers @HelenaMFerreir2 @MFajgenblat @FWOVlaanderen @BiologyKULeuven @uabbiociencies @EmbrapaMAmbient authors.elsevier.com/c/1inWS3QW8S6D…
How important is coming first? @BenjaminDelory and @TadashiFukami assembled a diverse group of scientists at @idiv to see what we all know about priority effects. Our first paper from this #sPriority working group is now out in @Trends_Ecol_Evo sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 🧵
Ponds are lynch-pin habitats for threatened species. Pond creation and restoration has helped make Pikhakendonk in #Belgium an important site for amphibians including Great Crested Newts. This pondscape is being studied by #PONDERFUL partner @KU_Leuven

Biological rhythms have been broadly ignored in #ecotoxicology. @EliSJThore @MichaelGBertram &co highlight the importance of biological rhythms for understanding, predicting, and mitigating the complex ecological repercussions of chemical #pollution. plos.io/49gwU6E
Thrilled to share our new paper in @PLOSBiology! 🥳 Are you curious about biological #rhythms in #ecotoxicology? Discover why grasping the timing of life is key in understanding, predicting, and mitigating the ecological impacts of pollutants! 🕰☠ 👉 tinyurl.com/re2fw56w
With January almost over, we're right in time for our team dinner to kick off the new year! What better way than by sharing food & science in great company. Cheers! 🍻
Today we kick off 2024 with a Departmental Research Day. Let’s share, brainstorm, discuss and inspire! 💪🍀
Our research groups wishes everyone a splendid end of the year and hopes that 2024 will be a year filled with scientific growth & sucesses, fruitful and pleasant collaborations, newly discovered insights and an everlasting appetite for learning 📚 Let's make it a good one!
Today we organised the 3rd #PONDRFUL stakeholders workshop to present work already done within the project and gained very useful insights from stakeholders to optimize planned activities. Thank you to all stakeholders for their valuable input! @ponds4climate @europeanponds
We enjoyed the sucessful first edition of our Division Game Night! PhDs, postdocs, technicians & teaching staff gathered to play board games and to hang out🎲@BiologyKULeuven @esee_lab
"PONDERFUL provides a unique opportunity to obtain valuable insights into patterns of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning along environmental gradients at the spatial scale of Europe." Read about Pieter Lemmens of @KU_Leuven and @LeibnizIGB ponderful.eu/meet-the-team-… #PONDERFUL
Interested in urban pollution, Daphnia and eco-evolutionary dynamics? IGB will have 3 PhD positions opening thanks to funding from the Leibniz Association. For more information, see the advertisements attached or go to the job portal on the IGB website igb-berlin.de/stellenangebote
EVENET presents its 11th symposium on eco-evolutionary dynamics. Line-up with @efronhofer @Lancaster_LT @ellendecaesteck @bio_move @com_ecology Marc Urban, Celina Baines and Jonathan Romiguier.
On 7 December at 4 pm (CET) we will have the last #PONDERFUL webinar of the year! This time Dr. Pascale Nicolet from @Freshwaterhabs, will give a talk entitled “Creating clean water ponds for freshwater wildlife”. Register here: shorturl.at/ozDF6
