3 weeks of field work in 3 different regions: DONE!✅
Thank you, Jana, Vanessa and Dominik, you were a great help!
The tree trunk eclectors for BEClimWood-Bugs are now set up and insects will be sampled every 4 weeks until autumn.

Today is the day! 🎉 I defended my MSc. thesis about in situ manipulation of whole Drosophila-parasitoid webs at the University of South Bohemia. 🪰
Thank you for everything, Fly Lab and @janhrcek.bsky.social!
Now comes the next fun part: turning the thesis into a publishable manuscript - stay tuned
Hey @spavel.bsky.social I hope you don’t mind but we did the thing for real
Over the next few years, this experiment will investigate how summer droughts (precipitation exclusion via roofs) and microclimatic variability (altered soil contact) affect deadwood-inhabiting diversity, associated processes, under different forest management regimes across different regions
Attacked by a w... uuuh no, wait, Plagionotus while sitting under an oak. What a nice case of Batesian mimicry!
@annestte.bsky.social look! Some nice fungal activity on our BEClimWood logs!
Let's go!
Instead of macro-monday, let's do mountain monday. Yesterday's last ski-tour of the season! 😊

Just yesterday, we completed the setup of the final rain-out shelter for the BEClimWood experiment in Schorfheide-Chorin, completing the set up in all three regions of the @bexplo.bsky.social 🥳 Huge thanks to the amazing team @sebseibold.bsky.social @stellawimmer.bsky.social @annestte.bsky.social 🙌
