This is great. Congratulations to all!
Czechia scored big in @ERC_Research #CoG competition. 10 grants! I am more happy than if would get one myself😍 This is first about the #excellence of the people writing & defending the grants. Their success was facilitated by #ZdenekStrakos #ERCExpertGroup. Change is possible!
Do you study seed banks? And do you have a green thumb? No? Then you need to learn how to identify seeds! Behind the paper post for the @JVegSci article by Alida A. Hábenczyus and colleagues vegsciblog.org/2024/11/22/do-… @IAVS5

Our international MSc in Ecology program is accepting applicants. Deadline is twice a year, nearest on 31 October. The program is heavily focused on own research and below you can see exciting outcome of a course where students learn to publish by actually publishing a paper!

The life strategies of #parasitoids are stunningly diverse, but no wasps that attack and develop inside adult flies have ever been described. Our article describes the first one. Its hosts: Drosophila melanogaster and other species of #Drosophila #Entomology #Braconidae
Nature research paper: Drosophila are hosts to the first described parasitoid wasp of adult flies go.nature.com/3MFgETh
The vast majority of parasitoids use immature insect hosts. This well documented report of a parasitoid of ADULT flies is interesting, especially given the parasitoid had not yet been noticed in the well studied Drosophila hosts. L. D. Moore et al, Nature rdcu.be/dTYDN

A new article by our group members in @JVegSci : The convex relationship between plant cover and biomass: Implications for assessing species and community properties @suspaprfjcucz1 @ApplovaMarketa @TerezaVackov10
Our 14th DrosEU workshop was fantastic! We had six working group updates, 22 short talks by DrosEU members, an invited talk by Michael Nachman, and our business meeting, and ...
We did miss the DrosEU members that couldnt make it...and we thank all the ones that came to Barcelona to celebrate our collaborative scientific network anniversary! #drosophila #Genomics
Our 10th anniversary celebration was a blast! We visit a historical site in Gracia, eat calçots and enjoy a #scienceandmusicsharingnotes @LCATMon with the Muñoz, Salman, Buchan jazz trio and DrosEU researchers.
We are hiring! 🌟 Two PhD positions opened on species diversification and evolution of hymenopteran parasitoids in multi-trophic systems. Join our team at Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic 🇨🇿. Happy for retweets! Details: parasitoidwasps.com/uncategorized/…
Exciting PhD opportunity!
