In the first part of the ‘Glimpse of the year 2022’ series, we give our readers a glance of 3 most visited posts about scientific publications in this year.
Continue readingIn this blogpost, Alex Roodt talks about how pesticides which are accumulated by emerging aquatic insects during their development can be retained after metamorphosis and may increase the dietary exposure of terrestrial insectivores.
Continue readingThe Institute for Ecology, Evolution and Diversity at Goethe University is looking for a scientific employee in the Aquatic Ecotoxicology department.
Continue readingProf. Dr. Ralf B. Schäfer of Uni Koblenz-Landau will give a talk on the current research and debates surrounding insect decline, with focus on the key drivers, trends among aquatic versus terrestrial insects, the role of pollutants, and mitigation measures.
Continue readingWith observations of declining insects in agricultural landscapes, research is focusing on figuring out the role of potential stressors, such as structural homogeneity, fertilizer and pesticide inputs. In this blog, Carolina Honert explains how their project “InsectExpo” can fill these knowledge gaps.
Continue readingWe offer a master thesis at the University of Koblenz-Landau (Campus Landau) to develop a method determining multiple energy reserves in one insect sample. It will be used as tool to investigate changes in the subsidy quality of stressed systems.
Continue readingThe German television shot a documentary on the observation of declining insects in Germany, and the science behind it. The film features researchers involved in a recent study entitled “More than 75 percent decline over 27 years in total flying insect biomass in protected areas”.
Continue readingThe Research Training Group SystemLink at University of Koblenz-Landau, funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), currently offers several master theses.
Continue readingOur Institute for Environmental Sciences at the Campus Landau/Pfalz is hiring a scientist to analyse the distribution of pesticides in terrestrial ecosystems.
