Caribbean plants display few traits typically associated with hummingbird pollination, yet they are visited by morphologically more distinct hummingbirds than their mainland counterparts.

Biologist Christian Hof warns in an interview about a dramatic loss of biodiversity. The climate crisis significantly exacerbates global species extinction.

Students from the “Global Change Biology” course visited Bundorf Solar Park to explore how sustainable energy production can support biodiversity.

What does climate change have to do with biodiversity? The “Green Teens” Climate Working group at David-Schuster-Realschule Würzburg recently explored this question during a visit from Prof. Christian Hof at one of their working group meetings.

The project "Translating Soil Biodiversity" teaches children and young people about the importance of biodiversity – in 26 languages. It has now been honored twice in a short period of time.

A new study by JKI researchers shows that perennial flower strips not only support aboveground biodiversity, but also facilitate belowground biodiversity in the form of earthworm communities.

The “Global Change Experimental Facility” (GCEF) is a long-term field experiment, which offers the opportunity to study the effects of land use and climate change on different grassland types.

In December, Esme Ashe-Jepson and Malte Jochum visited Liverpool, UK for the British Ecological Society conference.

Towards an integrative global change ecology: species responses, biodiversity variation, and societal challenges
