Actually one year ago! Now analysing data. Stay tuned!

Insects play a vital role in agricultural production by enhancing both the quantity and quality of fruits and seeds in crops. Wild pollinators gives notable enhancements in the commercial and nutritional quality of fruits and seeds. #pollnators are amazing www.scielo.br/j/sa/a/pvPPY...

🐝🌸¿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...

¡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...

🧵3/3 Protecting wild pollinators is not just a biodiversity issue. It is also a matter of food-system resilience, public health, and economic security. 🔗 🔬 Read the study: doi.org/10.1038/s414... #ButterflyProject #Pollinators #FoodSecurity #Biodiversity #Agriculture #EcosystemServices

🧵2/3 The greatest impacts would be experienced in nutrient-rich, pollinator-dependent crops: fruits, vegetables and oilseeds, which are exactly the foods that are crucial for a healthy diet. The global annual welfare loss could reach €34 billion, with consumers bearing much of the burden.

🧵1/3 🐛 🦋 What would Europe look like without wild pollinators? A collapse in wild pollinators across Europe could mean a 8% drop in crop yields, a sharp rise in the prices of foods and consequences extending far beyond Europe through trade, land-use change and food insecurity.

🧵1/4 PhD opportunity in ecology, biogeochemistry & evolutionary biology. I am looking for a PhD candidate to join a research project on how animals cope with nutritionally imbalanced food and how this shapes matter cycling in ecosystems.

We have a vacancy for a PhD Research Fellow at the Centre for the Study of the Sciences and the Humanities @vitenskapsteori.bsky.social Application deadline: 10 May 2026 Please spread in your networks www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

40% de especies de abejas y 16,5% de polinizadores vertebrados podrían estar amenazados, lo que amenaza a su vez la vida que conocemos. 🌍 Pronta acción podría contribuir a revertir esto. 🏡 Evaluación de los Polinizadores de la IPBES: https://ow.ly/733x50Yy4mC 🧪 Lee más: https://ow.ly/T0Hn50Yy4mB

The new James Cameron-produced NatGeo documentary "Secrets of the Bees" is out tomorrow. I hope it's good - our bees and team members are in it, but I haven't seen the final product yet. Here's a trailer.

It’s actually tomorrow! Make the most of this opportunity to find out about the latest developments in bee research🐝🐝

Animal pollination emerged 280 million years ago. Currently, 90% of flowering plant species, including most crops, require animals to maximize their reproduction. However, human-induced rapid environmental change is threatening these mutualistic interactions. www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

Denis Michez (Mons University) follows up at the @safeguard-pollinators.eu final meeting by updating us on the status of wild bees and hover flies across Europe #bee 🐝 🦋 🪰 - key message, we now have distributional data to underpin conservation strategies for wild bees and hover flies across Europe

🧵1/4 🚁➡️🐝 A drone needs a data link and remote computing. A honey bee does not. With a brain smaller than a sesame seed, a honey bee makes rapid, context-sensitive decisions while flying. Efficient intelligence is not the same thing as more computation and bees are a striking reminder of that.
