With this nice view from the „Rosskopf“ we wish you a nice extended weekend!
Enjoy the Blackforest :)

#15 Theresa is examining epiphytic lichens and bryophytes in the Black Forest. She is focussing on understanding the role of forest stand structure and how individual trees resemble and differ in their epiphyte communities. In doing so, she is tackling the question "why?" and broadly examines potential influencing factors, from microclimate to bark characteristics to soil chemistry. Therefore, she combines field and laboratory work.

#14 Riko is interested in insect natural enemies namely Parasitoids wasp and Spiders. Within the ConFoBi project, he is learning to broaden his knowledge on the impact of forest structural and management to functional diversity of Parasitoid wasp and Spider communities. He seeks the answer through which mechanism that forest could be a niche and natural filter for insect and their natural enemies. The photo show Riko’s organizing insect specimens in the lab.

After our Jour fixe today we start in our easter break.
Enjoy yours and see you next week again :)

Happy Easter everyone🐇🌷

#13 Hello there, it’s Mohammad, and I am one of the geneticists in the group. I do tease forest invertebrate ecology with my genetic knowledge. Genetic assessment of important arthropods sp. (e.g. Collembola) and their local adaptation is the prime focus of my project. Currently, I am working in the lab with some long ethanol-stored Springtail specimens to recover their genetic information. Still, like other ConFoBites, I will also be active in the early summer to do some eDNA metabarcoding study to have a cross-talk with other soil arthropods.
The picture of this nice Isotomurus was taken from the yard of our Wildlife ecology lab. The second picture shows a part of our long-stored huge Collembola collecting and working progress of their DNA amplification for further study.

#12 Melina is studying the effects of different forest conservation strategies on bats and their insect prey. She will be in the Black Forest from May to October 2023 to collect bat and insect data. The first picture shows one of the ConFoBi plots in spring 2022. She will be collecting data on plots like this. The second image shows a photo of an insect swarm at sunset captured with a stationary outdoor camera, and the third image shows an example of a bat call from the recorded acoustic bat data.

#11 Hello! My name is Mariela, and I am interested in assessing Bird-Forest relationships. Specifically, I will investigate bird communities’ response to forest structure in managed forests through a spatial and temporal assessment. For this, within ConFoBi, the birds have been sampled in all the plots since 2017. Like the birds… I’m looking forward to the Spring to be out and active!! In the meantime, a short birdwatching session around Freiburg Alter Friedhof with some of the ConFoBi members.

#9 If you think sitting in lecture halls is limited to your Bachelor and Master degree, you are mistaken. As PhD students we have great opportunities to join winter or summer schools, focusing on your research topic and gaining in-depth knowledge on methods and theories. These schools not only support us in advancing in our field but also open up the chance to meeting people with similar research interests. Last week Resa joined the POLNET winter school in Barcelona on Advanced Social Network Analysis, a method which will be key in her research. Exchanging perspective among PhD students and senior reseachers in political science, computational science and relating fields through lectures, seminars and networking events supports her in finding her own research path and opening up new perspectives on social networks within the implementation of forest biodiversity.

Wonderful news! 🎬🎥🌳

"ConFoBi - The Movie" is now online. So grab a couple of friends, some 🍿and enjoy watching!

You can find the movie via the link in our channel description:

Thanks a lot Laurie Hedges () for making this fantastic movie with the help of the „ConFoBis“ Anna-Lena Hendel (), João Pereira (), Michael Wohlwend and Ninon Meyer.

Enjoy the weekend! 🌞

#8 What do you see in this picture?

I’m Jakob and from my point of view it’s a patch of forest. Each circle represents a single tree. The colour of the circle gives information about the tree species and its size about how thick the tree is.
The picture shows a snapshot of a simulated forest stand generated with a digital forest model. For my research, I use such a model to simulate different scenarios for the future development of our study area, the southern black forest. The scenarios can differ in the assumed development of the climate, the occurring disturbances, but also in the planned management of the forest.
During my PhD, I would like to link my forest model with other biodiversity models so that the simulated scenarios provide information not only about the trees in the forest, but also about other forest flora and fauna. On the basis of these simulations, I hope to find answers to questions such as: What are the potential synergies and trade-offs between the provision of biodiversity, economic efficiency and other ecosystem services?

#7 This is a picture of a habitat tree that has been marked with two lines by a forester. This tree will be spared from harvesting operations and hopefully continue to provide important structures for forest dwelling species. Rose-Marie is trying to find out how long habitat trees survive and how vulnerable they are to drought or other disturbances compared to other tree populations. To do this she will be using the National forest inventory data of Germany.

#6 Precise data lays the foundations of well-founded science and decision-making. As forest structure determines the habitat quality for forest organisms it remains vital for understanding biodiversity. Therefore, we at ConFoBi use state-of-the-art technology to collect high resolution data sets from above and below forest canopies. Our tools and products include aerial imaging via UAV, 3D point cloud generation with structure from motion (SfM) and laser scanning technologies (LiDAR) as well as GIS solutions. Thus, we hope to promote a better understanding of species dynamics to combat global biodiversity loss.
