🪰The #hoverfly 𝘚𝘱𝘩𝘢𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘢 𝘴𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘵𝘢 is a vital #pollinator & #aphid predator. 💻A new ALMaSS agent-based model simulates its full life cycle using high-resolution #environmental #data. This tool improves #pesticide risk assessments to support #sustainable #agriculture👇 @pollinera-horizon.eu

Researchers have developed a new conceptual model called APODEMUS to better predict how wood mouse populations thrive across different European agricultural landscapes. Read the full study: doi.org/10.3897/fmj.7.175714

📢 The 1st Policy Brief by the @pollinera-horizon.eu consortium is NOW OUT 👍 Make sure to keep tabs on the project's #openaccess collections on @riojournal.com & @fesmj.pensoft.net for #project outputs meant to help reform #pesticides risk assessment for healthy #pollinators! 🔗 More on our blog:
