Publication: Teja's paper has been published in Trends in Ecology & Evolution with the title of "Beyond organic farming – harnessing biodiversity-friendly landscapes". We showed that achieving a landscape level mosaic of natural habitat patches and fine-grained cropland diversification in both conventional and organic agriculture is key for promoting large-scale biodiversity. August 2021.

Publication: Edina's paper has been published in the Journal of Applied Ecology with the title of "Organic farming supports lower pest infestation, but less natural enemies than flower strips". We investigated and evaluated two popular agri-environment schemes, organic farming and flower strips, and showed their different benefits for biological pest control. A short overview of our results is included in the accompanying blog post. August 2021.

Publication: Fabio and Tamás' paper has been published in Global Ecology and Conservation with the title of "Fragment connectivity shapes bird communities through functional trait filtering in two types of grasslands". Our study provides conservation implications for enhancing grassland specialist bird communities, which consist of preservation of large, well-connected grassland fragments within production landscapes and through reconsideration of the currently used intensive forestry. June 2021.

Publication: Borbála's paper has been published in Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety with the title of "The inter-individual variance can provide additional information for the ecotoxicologists beside the mean". Our results show that the variance of first clutch size of a collembolan changes with pesticide application in contrast to mean, thus focusing only on mean is not enough. April 2021.

Publication: Riho's paper has been published in Basic and Applied Ecology with the title of "Environmentally-friendly and organic management practices enable complementary diversification of plantbumblebee food webs". Our results show that for supporting bumblebees in the agricultural landscapes, avoiding resource limitation is important and this can be secured with a combination of agri-environment schemes management practices. April 2021.

Publication: Christoph's paper has been published in Journal of Applied Ecology with the title of "Flowering fields, organic farming and edge habitats promote diversity of plants and arthropods on arable land". Our results show that a mosaic of non-productive and productive measures such as conventional flowering fields, organic crops and field edge habitats might be the most appropriate to support farmland biodiversity in arable-dominated landscapes. March 2021.

Publication: Paper of Balázs entitled "Ancient burial mounds provide safe havens for grassland specialist plants in transformed landscapes – A trait-based analysis" has been published in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution. We explored the functional and phylogenetic diversity of terrestrial habitat islands compared to linear landscape elements and extensive grasslands. March 2021.

Publication: Julia Piko's paper has been published in Basic and Applied Ecology with the title of "Effects of three flower field types on bumblebees and their pollen diets". Our results indicate that both annual and mixed flower fields provide attractive food resources, whereas perennial flower fields offer the poorest foraging habitats. March 2021.

Publication: Niki's and Robi's paper has been published in European Journal of Forest Research with the title of "Tree species and microhabitat affect forest bog spider fauna". Our paper explores the role of microhabitat diversity in maintaining the cold-adapted spiders. February 2021.

Publication: Christoph's paper has been published in Insect Conservation and Diversity with the title: "Organic winter cereals benefit bumblebee colonies in agricultural landscapes with mass-flowering crops". Our study showed that bumblebee populations in landscapes with mass-flowering crops benefited from less intensive farming practices with high flowering wild plant diversity of organic winter cereals. February 2021.

Publication: Kornélia's and Péter's paper has been published in Global Ecology and Conservation with the title: "Urbanization shapes bird communities and nest survival, but not their food quantity". Our study showed that shrub-nesting in urban habitats may be safer, probably due to lower predation pressure and/or favourable nesting sites for shrub nesters. February 2021.

Publication: Balázs' paper has been published in Basic and Applied Ecology with the title: "Acceptance of near-natural greenspace management relates to ecological and socio-cultural assigned values among European urbanites". Our study explores the attitude of urban citizens towards intensively used short-cut lawns vs. tall-grass meadows by assessing both functional use and personal perceptions in urban green spaces. February 2021.

Publication: Rita Földesi's and Péter's paper has been published in the Journal of Applied Ecology with the title: "Larger pollinators deposit more pollen on stigmas across multiple plant species — a meta-analysis". Our meta-analysis highlights the breadth of wild pollinators that contribute to pollination effectiveness via their delivery of pollen to many crop and non-crop plant species. January 2021.
