🌼 Plantar flores silvestres está bien, pero mejor si ayudan a los polinizadores 🐝 @abejassilvestres.bsky.social, la Sociedad Gaditana de Historia Natural y @ebdonana.bsky.social, han publicado una guía gratuita que reúne cerca de 200 especies autóctonas www.revistaquercus.es/noticia/9378...

What have we actually learned from empirical applications of Modern Coexistence Theory? We reviewed 84 studies from the last two decades to find out. Read our new synthesis in Ecology Letters here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

No hace falta cambiar de género para encontrar grandes diferencias: incluso entre especies del género Eucera el tamaño corporal y sus colores pueden variar notablemente. Hembras y machos enfrentados de Eucera rufa y Eucera elongatula recogidos en el Espacio Natural de Doñana. @ebdonana.bsky.social

HISTORY IS COMING: 40c IN EUROPE This will arguably be the harshest spring heat wave in European history We can see up to 40C in Spain,35C in Central Europe for days. Thousands of records will be pulverized in Spain,Portugal,France,Benelux,UK;SCandinavia,Germany,Alps,Czechia,..

Really cool paper with many applications to conservation.

En el Día Mundial de las Abejas, protegerlas es proteger nuestro futuro. Reducir el uso de pesticidas, cuidar sus hábitats y defender la biodiversidad no es opcional. Sin abejas, nuestros ecosistemas y nuestra alimentación estarían en riesgo. 🐝🌼 @ebdonana.bsky.social #WorldBeeDay #SaveTheBees

What if the key to ecological assembly is not equilibrium, but feasibility? A beautiful paper by @sfiscience.bsky.social Serguei Saavedra reviews the Feasibility principle as a unified predictive framework across scales. nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

🐝🌸 Hoy se celebra el Día Mundial de las Abejas y queremos poner el foco en la crisis de los polinizadores. La pérdida y fragmentación de hábitats, la agricultura intensiva y el aumento de la población de la abeja de la miel están acelerando su declive. 🔗 www.ebd.csic.es/divulgacion/...

Paper out onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/1438...! Can an #invasive plant disrupt #pollination in just days? Our study shows that #HimalayanBalsam reduces effective pollen transfer to the native Stachys sylvatica by 80% within 4 days. Visits are not always pollination! @plantsciencedbg.bsky.social

Are interacting species showing more similar responses to environmental predictors than expected by chance? Is this similarity protecting species pairs from interaction disruption under climate change? If you want to find out, join us for a fully funded Ph.D. with @epic-biodiversity.org 🌎🧪

Ciencia y bares. No es mala mezcla. Este 18, 19 y 20 de mayo tenemos estas cositas por Sevilla. 🍻🧑🏻‍🎓👩‍⚕️ #pint26sev

Este finde es el @biomaratonflora.bsky.social 🌲🌿, y qué mejor momento para aprovechar a documentar la biodiversidad de sitios poco explorados! Echa un ojo a las zonas menos conocidas cerca de tu ubicación aquí ⤵️ geosabina.com/iberfill/

Good policy from arxiv: AI-spawned misconduct - hallucinations, plagiarism, or evidence of using an AI to write “your” article - will get authors a one-year ban and the requirement that future submissions must be published at a reputable peer-reviewed place. Don’t waste people’s time with dreck.

rOpenSci has been very influential and helped me to be better at open and reproducible research. I still remember my first workshop at ESA 2012 (or 2013?), where they introduced me to git! Happy 15th anniversary!

Big BeeMachine update! 🐝✨ BeeMachine can now identify 1,184 kinds of flower-visitors, including 999 bee species — a huge jump from the previous 354. See the full list at beemachine.ai/page/about #citizenscience #pollinators #AIForGood #biodiversity #bees

Hive mind: I'm on the hunt for any practitioner reports, policy docs, restoration frameworks, or applied conservation reports that explicitly use plant–pollinator interactions or ecological networks in practical conservation/restoration/rewilding? (Not scientific research) 🐝🌻

FWIW, I don’t think the major problem in my field, or related ones, is that people need to move faster & produce more. I read a lot of papers as part of the job, and I’m increasingly convinced we’d benefit from fewer papers and better ones, not more mediocre work produced ever more “efficiently.”

¡Actualizamos la lista de abejas silvestres de Canarias! En nuestro nuevo trabajo publicado en Zootaxa reconocemos 146 especies (¡60 de ellas endémicas!) y confirmamos a las islas como un punto caliente de biodiversidad en la Macaronesia y Europa. 🧵👇 polinizadoresdecanarias.org/actualizacio...

Día a día nos esforzamos por mejorar e implementar buenas prácticas editoriales que ayuden a construir una ciencia más inclusiva, ética y equitativa. Seguiremos mejorando para lograr una mayor transparencia. Aquí nuestra reflexión en el blog de la @eco-aeet.bsky.social: blogaeet.org/2026/05/05/l...

Feliz día! Que los bucles os acompañen!! 💻

What a Monday! 🐝 Excited to share two new papers on pollinators: 1️⃣ Exploring the wild bees of the Canary Islands in @Zootaxa. 🔗 doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5802.2.3 2️⃣ High bee nutritional standards but low flexibility in modern agro-ecosystems in Ecological Entomology 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/een.70096

La guía de plantas para polinizadores que necesitábamos la acaba de hacer @abejassilvestres.bsky.social 😍😍 🌿 www.abejassilvestres.es/resources/pl... 🌿

More than 60º in India... this is getting really bad... :(

🐝🌸¿Qué plantas podemos usar para ayudar a los polinizadores silvestres? La Asociación Abejas Silvestres ha elaborado esta guía para ayudar a la ciudadanía a elegir qué especies plantar en sus macetas para ayudar a las abejas y otros polinizadores. ➡️ www.abejassilvestres.es/plants-guide...

Since ChatGPT came online in late 2022, grant application numbers across 12 UK and EU funding bodies have increased by *57%*. For MSCA fellowships the number is *+142%*. I do believe that what we’re doing is insane and that we need to stop doing it IMMEDIATELY. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

¡Nuevo estreno! ¿Quieres ayudar a las abejas? Planta flores silvestres: aportan alimento a las abejas silvestres y otros polinizadores, y mejoran el suelo y el clima. Valen balcones, jardines o campos. Pero… ¿qué plantas elegir? Os ayudamos con esta lista. 👉 www.abejassilvestres.es/resources/pl...

Give it a try, is quick, is fun, and you learn how challenging is prediction in Ecology!

¡En el blog de @eco-aeet.bsky.social se publica un nuevo post! En esta ocasión, @cmhmaliani.bsky.social reflexiona sobre el concepto “desbiologización” o cómo, de forma inconsciente o premeditada, se niega lo biológico en lo viviente no humano. blogaeet.org/2026/04/20/d...

Please, beat us at predicting population trends. Fun game to test your intuition and see how you compare to trained models!

Great news - tropical forests are resilient! Long-term research in Ecuador's Chocó rainforest shows that nature bounced back quickly after deforested land was abandoned Diversity and abundance of species reached 90% of original levels within 30 years www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Más de 30 personas (del mundo de la ciencia, la divulgación y el activismo) recorrerán durante una semana (del 13 al 19 de abril) toda España. Dando charlas. Explicando que esto se acabó. Que hay que cambiar. Que es bueno cambiar. Que podemos cambiar. Empieza el No Normal Tour. ¡Te esperamos!

'The real threat is a slow, comfortable drift toward not understanding what you're doing. Not a dramatic collapse. Just a generation of researchers who can produce results but can't produce understanding' What a nice post on AI, education, learning, research and academia

The new bee documentary is out today in Disney+. Our buzzing bees did make the cut at the end! It is really nice to see the clip of how bees use previously collected nectar to pack pollen even in nectarless flowers! There are lots of other cool things in this two-part film!

¡Acabamos de publicar el último número! 📢 Incluimos el monográfico "Ecología del despoblamiento rural", coordinado por Francisco Lloret y Adrián Escudero. Os dejamos la editorial invitada en este enlace. Y no solo, en este número hay mucho más contenido... revistaecosistemas.net/index.php/ec...

Many journals require data and code sharing. Yet code is still rarely shared and datasets are often hard to reuse. Our new paper introduces the @sortee.bsky.social guidelines for data & code quality control in ecology & evolution, developed by 26 experienced data editors. 📄 doi.org/10.24072/pcj...

It was a real privilege to work on this paper - some important messages for the world here. Thanks @pnas.org @billsutherland.bsky.social
