This morning at the #WorldBiodiversityForum 2024 in #Davos --> small excursion day with a team of #SoilBiodiversity researchers.

We climbed up the Büelenhorn (2512m) and Büelenberg, a quite lonely mountain ridge above Davos.
A lot of nice biodiversity to see in the #alpine zone! (and sahara sand)

*NEW PAPER ALERT*

Do the public and scientists look for earthworms in different places? Do they therefore find different species? Are 'rare' earthworm species really just living in overlooked habitats?

YES to all of the above! Find out more (open access):

Yes #Dolomites, and a very controversial alpine hut that you can see from the capital city and where a private person bought land on the mountain (never happened before, maybe also illegal, but backed by rhe government...).

A sad story in a beautiful place on Earth

Ein solches Bild soll also die Forschung tausender Wissenschaftler:innen von vielen Dekaden weltweit widerlegen? Und weil einmal das Wasser 15-Hundert-Irgenwas an dieser Stelle hoch stand, gibt es keine GLOBALE Erhitzung? Prof. Rahmsdorf und seine Kollegen arbeiten mit Millionen Messdaten...

Lots of insects take advantage of black and yellow warning colors to help keep predators like birds away. This is called aposematic coloration. It might work a little too well, as some people choose violence instead of taking the time to appreciate them. These are all flies and cannot sting.

Nice to see the recent Christchurch City Nature Challenge and my Macrophotography covered in Western News, NZ. Some well-deserved credit for the organising team in this article, including Rob Cruickshank, who did an amazing job of engaging with the local community 🧪

Lieber Herr Merz, ich bin Ingenieur und Erfinder und ich kann Ihnen ganz genau sagen, wie wir unsere Klimaziele erreichen. Wir brauchen: - Solarenergie - Windenergie - Batteriespeicher - Stromnetze - Elektroautos - Wärmepumpen u.v.m. Die Politik muss die passenden Rahmenbedingungen dafür setzen.
