Prof. Dr. Ralf Ludwig (Lehrstuhl für Geographie und Fernerkundung der LMU) will mehr erfahren: Mehr darüber, wie die Zukunft des Erdklimas aussehen könnte, und mehr darüber, wie genau zukünftige Vorhersagen von Extrem-Wetterereignissen sein werden können. Dass die globale Erwärmung zu einer Zunahme von Überschwemmungen, Stürmen, Buschbränden und anderen extremen Wetterbedingungen führt, die potenziell das Leben…

New paper is out: How climate change affects avian functional diversity on a global scale Species richness strongly depends on the prevailing climate environing an ecosystem, whilstfunctional diversity – the variety of species functional characteristics – is determined by bothof the latter. In a new paper, which was lead by Peter S. Stewart from Durham…
Good news: Our principal investigator Dr. Christian Hof will lecture online on species decline and climate change. Both their context and how global warming and a decline of biodiversity interact have never been urgent questions since the rampant increase of land use and industrialisation during the 20th century. Bad news: The talk will be in…
‘Are they all the same?’, our data scientist Matthias Biber wondered when thinking of all protected landscapes of the world – whilst already guessing the answer: No! Protected landscape can be quite different due to variable climatic and geographic occurrences which accommodate life on Earth. Still, the variety of protected areas is not great enough.…
We frequently look out for junior scientists who like to join our team. This time our collaboration in the DynaCom project (Spatial community ecology in highly dynamic landscapes: from island biogeography to metaecosystemsa) opens up a 3-year PhD position, which is to advance our research on functional macroecology of island birds, starting in April ’22. Application…
