Year 5 for our Caribbean Pollination Networks project is officially completed! 🌺🐝🦋 New species & interactions as we continue exploring the incredible diversity of Caribbean plants & their pollinators. So much more to learn from these dynamic systems! #TropicalDryForests #PlantPollinatorNetworks

21% of urban falcon deaths are caused by window collisions. 🪟 Birds struggle to see clear glass, adding markings or special films can make windows visible and save lives. 👉 Learn more with Environment for the Americas: https://www.migratorybirdday.org/

🌿 Native vs introduced plants: who attracts more #pollinators? In 65 smallholder orchards across #Thailand, native plants supported more specialized #pollinator interactions, while #anthropogenic land use reduced network complexity. 📖 Read more: doi.org/10.1111/ddi....

A week later and prospective applicants are still awaiting the instructions for this year's #NSFGRFP. I checked in with NSF today and was told "I don’t have anything for you at the moment." #GradSchool

🚨New paper alert! @jappliedecology.bsky.social We developed a ML framework that predicts the invasion risk of non-native species 🌱 >90% accuracy in forecasting invasion success ⚠️ Flags high-risk species 📊 Quantifies uncertainty for better decisions besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

🧬 Shift between specialized & generalized diets in #bees is associated with evolutionary changes in their sensory genes. Generalists lose odorant receptors (ORs) and gain gustatory receptors (GRs), while specialists diversify existing genes 🌸🐝 #genomics #pollinators academic.oup.com/g3journal/ad...

As the north of the South Island of NZ gets hammered by floods for the third time in as many weeks, now is as good a time as ever to reconsider how we manage flood risk. Rivers need space to flood into. Giving them room to function also brings widespread ecological benefits.

The time has come to value tropical fieldworkers as equal partners. With billions spent on watching forests from space, the skills of foresters and botanists have never been more vital. In our #Nature correspondence we show why - and what needs to change. #GEO-TREES rdcu.be/enT5S

Methods paper by Ollerton et al. on how to improve data quality of plant-pollinator relationships in large data bases that would be worthwhile to become a standard for pollination research! doi.org/10.26786/192...

Year 4 of our Caribbean Pollination Networks project is a wrap!🌺🐝🦋 Grateful for all we’ve learned and excited to keep exploring the incredible world of Caribbean plants and pollinators! #pollination #CaribbeanEcology #TDFs

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

Where will I be in two weeks? ¡La Habana, Cuba! Really excited to be co-organizing this symposium about invasive species at the Congreso Latinoamerica de Botanica with @harrisia.bsky.social (and others).

The singly most important individual action we can all take to halt the climate and nature crises is simply to do *less*. To consume, waste, travel less. I’ve already started, but can do more, and am up for this #NewYearsResolution / #AntiBucketlist for 2025

We need to spend way more on adaptation to climate change. None of us can predict the future, but it’s 100% certain that the climate we have today is the best any of us will ever experience. As we continue to emit CO₂, the world will become more dangerous and chaotic. We have to prepare for that.
