What a great last month! 🤩 So good to see our studies coming out as publications. This one is special as it done with data stingless bees in Bolivia! Take a look 👇🏼

Herbicides harm more than weeds! 🐝🧪 A new study suggests that they indirectly disrupt plant-pollinator networks, potentially risking pollination services 🌼🌏 @julitavella.bsky.social 🔗https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2664.70113

We are looking for a Postdoc (up to 5 years) who wants to study neural mechanisms of spatial memory in honeybees. This includes tetrode recordings in behaving honeybees. Application Deadline is 1st of October 2025. More details: www.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/services/...

🐝🌸 New article in @aobp.bsky.social addressing how coflowering between two closely related Palicourea species in the Brazilian Cerrado influences pollination dynamics. Full #openaccess 👉 doi.org/pwm8 @rorrodew.bsky.social #PlantScience

🌺Contrast in floral traits conferred local pollinator facilitation between closely related congeners and explained community composition across broad spatial scales🌍🧪 buff.ly/5UeGzMb

Our new study shows how animal biodiversity loss is a climate problem: tropical forests recover far less carbon where seed dispersers have declined. We’re not just losing forests – we’re losing their ability to regrow. Reversing that trend could align biodiversity recovery with climate solutions.🧵

Looking forward to your submission

There is still time to submit your abstract to the #SCAPE2024 Joint Special Issue in Pollination Ecology! NJB and Journal of Pollination Ecology are looking forward to your abstract submission by email to [email protected] or using this form: forms.gle/xC5EJp2w5VJV... DL 22.12.2024

🐝 We're currently advertising three PhD projects to study bees at Bristol University, UK. Two focus on foraging behaviour, ecology & nutrition, one on parasitic bees and their impact on indigenous stingless beekeeping in Peru. Feel free to share: www.socialinsect-research.com/opportunitie...
