Do Grassland Management Changes Affect Male and Female Insects Differently?
A new project study published in Land (MDPI) finds that grassland management practices influence sex-specific insect responses, with important implications for biodiversity conservation Grassland management practices are often designed based on aggregate population responses without considering how changes affect individual organisms differently. A new study published in Land (MDPI) examines sex-specific insect responses to grassland management interventions, revealing import

Can Flower Strips Restore Insects in Intensive Grassland?
A new project study in Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment reveals how habitat interventions produce different results across insect groups in Alpine grasslands. Flower strips are narrow bands of diverse flowering plants within agricultural fields that are becoming prominent conservation tools to reverse insect decline in intensified agricultural landscapes. A comprehensive study across the Alpine region between 2020 and 2021 quantifies flower strip effectiveness for rest

Can Computer Games Help People Understand Biodiversity on Their Land?
The project's interactive online game and set of virtual farm tours is designed to test and build players knowledge of on-farm biodiversity. Farmers' knowledge of biodiversity on their land directly affects their willingness to engage with environmental schemes and adopt management practices that support wildlife. But much of the information available to them comes in static formats — reports, PDFs, and written guides — which often fail to hold attention or test understanding
