Who does not wish research outputs to be efficient? Especially when dealing with climate change, the clock is not with us and we have to be very efficient. That is why Dr. Christian Hof warns to keep research findings apart which actually belong together, because they are interdependent. When it comes to the prediction of…

In the ecology world, ‘the island rule’ is a well known term. It suggests that, over time, on islands large species become smaller and vice versa. But is that the case with any species, any taxonomic pattern? No. Some don’t follow the rule, and research wouldn’t see the underlying causes for decades. Our postdoctoral researcher…
Just recently, our principal investigator Dr. Christian Hof gave an interview to the well known German newspaper ‘Süddeutsche Zeitung’. The interview discusses the importance to make ecological science visible to high school students. Although going to school for quite a while, most of us neither learn how science really works, nor do we learn how…
A joint commentary on the sustainability of climate change mitigation strategies was just published: The MCC (Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change) along with our principal investigator Christian Hof and several other colleagues authored an article on the risk of establishing climate plantations as an inherent part to combat global warming. Climate…
From October 5th to October 7th some of us had the chance to attend the BLIZ conference, which was hosted by our network bayklif and the Bavarian State Ministry for Science and Art. It ran that theme ‘How to predict future land use and biodiversity change under climatic change at the regional level‘. Due to…
