In a new study in Functional Ecology Pamela Medina van Berkum, Sybille Unsicker et al. show that populations of ribwort plantain outside their native range are just as well or even better defended in comparison to native populations.

We are very grateful that DFG public | @[email protected] granted us another three years of funding for our Research Unit. We are very much looking forward to continuing our joint effort to disentangle the fascinating world of #chemodiversity .

Terrific collaborative work on the reproducibility of measuring volatile organic compounds in #chemodiversity research. Thanks for the wonderful teamwork in the research unit FOR 3000.

Do you love talking about plant chemodiversity as much as we do? Submit your abstract for the session “Unravelling plant chemodiversity” at the GfÖ 2023, hosted by members of Research Unit on Chemodiversity of Plants. DEADLINE 15 May. gfoe-conference.de/index.php?cat=…

There is still time to apply to the Kiel Training for Excellence postdoc Programm! uni-kiel.de/en/research/ea…

‼️Jobs‼️ we offer two PhD positions about 'The role of tree-nematode interactions in the acclimation and adaptation of trees' (one at UFZ Leipzig recruitingapp-5128.de.umantis.com/Vacancies/2735… and one at @iDiv, UNIVERSITÄT LEIPZIG (this official job advertisement is coming soon)

Postdoc position in tree epigenetics! 🌳🧬🐛☀️Within the research unit PhytOakmeter, we will investigate the role of epigenetics in response to drought and herbivory in a clonal oak system Universität Freiburg. We will focus on methylation, TE mobilization, and chromatic accessibility.

I continue to be shocked by stories about successful scientists that are bullies, sexual harassers and psychos. This is so hugely disappointing! We must change the f*ing systems of publishing and of hierarchy, and we need more jobs, to reduce overall pressure.

We are looking for a new PhD student to study experience-dependent modulation of olfactory circuits in the fly brain. See details here: jobs.ice.mpg.de/jobposting/d63…
Please RT! Thanks!

Halftime of our 4 weeks field trip to the Ecuadorian #Chocó rainforest.
Already saw more than 70 species of #reptiles and #amphibians + a lot of cool birds and other animals.
However, the main goal is to investigate food webs along a forest restoration gradient.

First time that all members of our REASSEMBLY Research Unit subproject are together in the field FundaciónJocotoco Canande station. Sybille Unsicker Eva Tamargo Lopez Katrin Heer 🌳🌲🧬 ConsEcol

Hey #ECFG16 , we're still looking for PhD students for two exciting projects:
One looking at assessing genetic diversity of fungi in crop fields.
One looking at evolution of resistance genes against C. fulvum in wild plant populations.

Plz share!

Herzlichen Glückwunsch 🥳 Die Ratsversammlung Landeshaupstadt Kiel hat einstimmig beschlossen, dass der Kieler Wissenschaftspreis 2023 an unseren Senior PI Hinrich Schulenburg geht. Die Verleihung findet am zweiten #kielerwoche Sonntag statt ⬇️kielscn.de/2023/02/kieler…

We are currently offering a postdoc position in our research group Universität Bern to investigate the effects of climate extremes on the eco-evolutionary dynamics of soil bacteria and fungi. We will be very grateful if you kindly share it in your networks!

In a couple of weeks, we will be in Spain for our Networking Symposium on 'Microbe induced plant resistance to insects' with A Martinez Medina and Maria J. Pozo Funded by a Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research European Partnerships grant - excited😃

I'm looking for two PhD students for two different projects.
One on genetic diversity of fungal plant pathogens on crops and one on evolution and diversity of resistance genes in wild tomato.

In the new issue of the children's magazine Dein SPIEGEL there is a nice article by Marco Wedig about our 2022 Ecotron experiment The Jena Experiment Maybe your kids find our diversity research as exciting as we do 😀 iDiv Biodiversity Research Jes Hines Eisenhauer Lab Goe. Bad Lauchstädt
