During his PhD on #trophobiosis he showed bottom-up mediated stability increase across multi-trophic levels at #BEF_China (http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2018.2399) and as PI in @multitroph he explores all trophic interactions (http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/icad.12664) in trap nests with Massimo Martini
In #BEF_China, he studies whether the diversity of trees affects the decomposition of animal #carcasses and #decomposer diversity. Not nice for the 👃 and potentially 🤢🤮 But don't worry, we show only nice photos here 😉 @multitroph
He has just returned from his expedition to Beijing and #BEF_China ✨🇨🇳 where we study together with over 30 researchers from Germany, Austria and China how the diversity of #trees structures complex trophic interaction networks 🌿🐦🐝 @multitroph

Mit C.D. Zhu, Felix Fornoff, Manuela Sann und mir erforscht er die multitrophischen Interaktionen von stengelnistenden Bienen und Wespen. Er befindet ist gerade in den Subtropen und führt #Feldforschung im weltweit größten Baum-Biodiversitätsexperiment #BEF_China durch

He studies cavity-nesting bee and wasp multitrophic interactions with C.D. Zhu, Felix Fornoff, Manuela Sann, and me. He is currently in the subtropics conducting #fieldwork in the world’s largest tree biodiversity experiment #BEF_China
