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...

Another work resulting from my PhD is out! 🍒🐝 Read it here: doi.org/10.1111/aab....

Agroecological farming promotes yield & biodiversity but may require subsidy to be profitable 🌾🌏 Suggests that the transition to more sustainable farming systems needs to overcome economic constraints with new policy interventions 📑🧪 🔗

Experts are concerned, as a number of scientists 🧪have recorded huge die-offs of insects in nature reserves around the world. The reported collapse of insect populations in supposedly protected regions is part of a newer phenomenon. 🌏🐜 Read more in @theguardian.com:

"Climate-change-induced extreme #heat and #drought... present critical threats to pollen viability, the pollination process, and seed formation, with significant implications for plant sexual reproduction and global #foodsecurity." #ClimateSky www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Long-term management is required for the recovery of pollination networks and function in restored grasslands 🌱🌏 Grassland management, including mowing, should be maintained for a certain period that exceeds at least 75 years 📈🧪 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/1365...

One of the easiest ways to create homes for insects is to avoid being too tidy. Letting a patch of grass grow long (good for nesting bumblebees), leaving dead stems in situ over winter, and having a wild corner will all help boost insect populations. More: bit.ly/4jGzo4f

Excited to see this out!! In this thought-provoking review led by @davidperis.bsky.social and Ricardo Pérez-de la Fuente we further demonstrate that insect #pollination was once widespread among #gymnosperms and existed long before the origin of #angiosperms onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Please share widely! We have two open postdoctoral positions in my lab: lopezuribelab.com/join-the-lab/ Some details below👇👇👇

🌿🐝 New paper! Sílvia Castro, Sara Lopes, @catarinasiopa.bsky.social, @jloureiro13.bsky.social & Hugo Gaspar coauthored a study on EuPPollNet, Europe’s largest plant-pollinator network database! 🌍💡 Thanks @joseblanuza.bsky.social and @ibartomeus.bsky.social for the great coordination! 📖 Read it 👇

Many arthropods are harmed by mowing management. However, mowing is ofter required to maintain species richness in high nature value grasslands. This is yet another case for phased mowing, of which Sinus mowing is a very nice example. Variation in mowing dates on landscape scale may also help.

🌸 Novidades fresquinhas 🌸 Em breve será lançada uma série de crónicas sobre Polinizadores e Polinização, em parceria com a revista Wilder! Ao longo dos próximos meses poderão deliciar-se com 13 crónicas com histórias, curiosidades e factos acerca destes pequenos guardiões das flores! Não percam!

Find joy in the small things… like finding that reference

This new study suggests that high-quality old grassland may be particularly good at supporting pollinators because diverse food sources provided by such grassland provide additional health benefits. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... | Pornon et al. @funecology.bsky.social

Very interesting review paper by Suijkerbuijk and co-authors in Trends in Plant Science (@cellpressnews.bsky.social)! 🌺🌻

what? 🤨

BioBlitz in Coimbra organized by meet.Eco by Biology Students Association with the participation of the FLOWer Lab (@jloureiro13.bsky.social), @cfemycolab.bsky.social and @srgtmt.bsky.social! Some of the flora observed today!

The video provided in Supplementary Information from the very interesting paper by Lai and co-authors in Ecology, showing potential pollination by Ethiopian wolves of Kniphofia foliosa! 🐺 Read it here: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... @pollinet.bsky.social

A new study shows that #butterflies, #bumblebees & #hoverflies can be equally effective #pollinators. Read about it here: jeffollerton.co.uk/2024/09/13/b...
