2025-09-01: Together with Robin Heinen, Jacqueline Degen and Franz Hölker I'm guest editing a special issue on Artificial Light at Night from a local to global scale: biological impacts and conservation challenges for the Journal Biological Conservation. Submissions are now closed and a few publications are already online. +++ 2025-07-19: We have a new preprint online on The hidden dimensions of biodiversity led by Sami Domisch and Sibylle Schroer. +++ 2025-06-12: A short opinion piece on Nocturnal pandas - Conservation umbrellas protecting nocturnal biodiversity led by myself has now been published in Trends in Ecology and Evolution. +++ 2025-01-07: A new paper about sightings of locusts, crickets and grasshoppers documented via the plattform observation.org in Germany in 2024 is now published. The work has been led by Axel Hochkirch and I contributed to this paper as a citizen scientist by documenting the first sighting of a Verge Cricket (Eumodicogryllus bordigalensis) in Berlin. Verge Crickets are among the numerous range-expanding insect species in Europe who are rapidly moving northwards accelerated by anthropogenic climate change. The paper is published in the German language journal Articulata, the pdf can be downloaded here. +++ 2024-08-05: Master student Isabell Leppin just finished her thesis project Molecular Assessment of Orb-Web Spider Diets Under the Influence of Artificial Light at Night which we co-supervised together with the lab of Michael Monaghan. Isabell submitted her thesis at Freie Universität Berlin last week. Congrats Isabell! +++ For earlier publications check the respective subpage.
