📢 The new programme for our Ecology Seminar is out! It features a diverse lineup of early career researchers sharing insights on #Agroecology every week 🐝🚜🐦 🗓️ Wednesdays at 10:15 CET 📧 DM for webinar link! www.uni-goettingen.de/en/ecology+s... @agrarunigoe.bsky.social @uni-goettingen.de

❗ New IUCN assessment warns of rising extinction risks for Europe’s wild bees and butterflies. 🔗 Read more about it here: agri4pol.eu/news/new-iuc...

A welcome research comparing the results of pollinator monitoring obtained by humans (so-called 'pollination ecologists') and concurrent time-lapse videos (so-called 'the future for lazy' 😜). Take a quick glance at this figure from the paper and judge for yourself doi.org/10.1002/aps3...

We need much more semi-natural habitat (6-37%, depending on species group) in agricultural landscapes to effectively conserve pollinators. Large collaborative synthesis study looking at 59 studies in 1250 landscapes from 19 countries now published in Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Fresh global-analysis admirably lead by @eeraertsmaxime.bsky.social (+ @oliviabernauer.bsky.social PhD data) indicates native bee pollination services leads to higher-quality apples = improved weight & seed set. How do you like them apples? 🍎 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Five 3-year Postdoc positions open at @ebdonana.bsky.social. I am happy to sponsor and mentor good candidates working in my field, but note that these are quite independent positions aimed at helping stabilize new researchers in the system. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4nqkq...

🐞 🐝 I'm recruiting students to join my lab at the University of Minnesota! Hoping to bring on 2-3 MS or PhD students (MS a pre-req for PhD students). Take a peek at the opportunities available and feel free to reach out with questions. Please share widely! jhemberger.github.io/ibug_lab_web...

Our paper is out, and it is distressing. Rapid butterfly declines across the United States during the 21st century | Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

We hebben een #vacature voor 6 maanden voor een onderzoeksmedewerker bij het team Landschapsecologie en Natuurbeheer; je draait mee in de ploeg die de technische ondersteuning biedt aan het onderzoek.Solliciteer voor 13 juli: www.vlaanderen.be/werken-voor-...

We're hiring two PhD and two postdoc positions! Interested in pollinators, soils, agroecology, pesticides? Then come and work with us and with collaborators and all over Europe! stanleyecologylab.org/vacancies #findaphd Please share!

Does anyone have any good references for what a robust sampling efficiency is for field studies with pollinators?

📄 We just enriched our library with a new resource titled Crop Diversification for Pollinator Conservation. 🌿 It looks at the mechanisms and current evidence base of how increasing the diversity of crops can benefit pollinator biodiversity. Check it out here: wildposh.eu/library #WildPoshResources

Here is the very first publication of the SCAPE joint special issue of JPE with @nordicjbotany.bsky.social (scheduled late 2025/early 2026) - an extremely well-thought editorial by James Thomson on how we should think about the pollination crisis: doi.org/10.26786/192...

Interested in #Biodiversity, #EcosystemServices and #Sustainable #Agriculture? We offer a postdoctoral researcher position on ecological synthesis in our lab🧪 @funcagroeco.bsky.social

📢 Viewpoint in New Phyt. on polyploid establishment! Key take-homes🧵 1. In contrast to earlier hypotheses that pollinators can help new polyploids establish, we suggest that pollinators mainly prevent polyploid establishment because outcrossing increases the strength of minority cytotype exclusion.

Ik zal regenwormen determinatie workshop geven, anekoworm.be werkgroep in actie! 🤓🪱🔬

Great collaboration between Thijs Fijen, Ola Lundin, @eeraertsmaxime.bsky.social, @juliaosterman.bsky.social, and a team at @funcagroeco.bsky.social, @agrarunigoe.bsky.social

Very interesting review article "Crop diversification for pollinator conservation" by Thijs Fijen, @eeraertsmaxime.bsky.social, @juliaosterman.bsky.social, @catrinwestphal.bsky.social and co-authors in Landscape Ecology!

New paper out! 🎉 We synthesise the mechanisms oh how crop diversification can benefit pollinators with a focus in Western Europe and North America. @eeraertsmaxime.bsky.social @catrinwestphal.bsky.social Led by @ThijsFijen link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Hej Bluesky! We are ForNaLab: 🌼 a team of researchers passionate about Forest & Nature at Ghent university 📈 scientists delving deep into fundamental and applied questions We will be posting here on 🔭 the process of doing science ✨ new research results stay tuned! 🎉
