50 years of treeline- and ecological research at our @slfdavos.bsky.social research site at Stillberg in Davos. Great fun to present some findings together with @annekempel.bsky.social to a super interested audience and some junior scientists.

So happy to be back at the BES this year for #BES2025! I had a lot of nice discussions today already, and I'll be looking forward to the poster session this evening! Feel free to pass by poster nr: A-4.95 if you want to discuss species coexistence and higher-order interactions! 🌱🌿🌱
Our first paper from the Bug-Network (BugNet) is out! 🎉
BugNet is a global network studying how invertebrate herbivores and fungal pathogens shape plant diversity & ecosystem functioning worldwide. The paper reports on the methods of the experimental part:

Jahrelange Vorbereitungen zur Pflanzung von 92'000 Bäumen: Warum dies gemacht wurde kannst du morgen Samstag, 13.9.2025 am Tag der offenen Forschungsfläche Stillberg in Davos erleben. Im Video: Aufnahmen von #SLF und #WSL aus den Jahren zwischen 1968 bis 1987.

...and @bota-jb.bsky.social took care that everything worked smoothly, and did amazing drone images of our experiments! Thank you all, you are the best! 🥰
Today we definitely ended the field season of our @bugnet.bsky.social experimental sites in @slfdavos.bsky.social. What a year - with such a great team of students this was one of my best field seasons ever! Thanks @bota-jb.bsky.social, Carole, Ida, Carla, Sevi, Flo and Irene for the great summer!
The @bugnet.bsky.social Delegation from @slfdavos.bsky.social very much enjoyed the first day of #BES2025 in Edinburgh! Don’t miss our posters on herbivore interactions under current and future climate that we will present in the community ecology poster sessions today and tomorrow.

Welcome to BES2025! 💫
Today, we are so excited to welcome ecologists from 58 countries, encouraging innovative research and practice in ecology.
We have exciting talks and sessions ahead in the next days from agriculture, human's place in nature, AI to green finance and much more.
The Bug-Network (BugNet) is a novel global collaborative research network that implements standardized consumer-reduction experiments in herbaceous- or shrub-dominated ecosystems to assess the impact...
