Our new paper is out! We show that assessing the effects of adding flower patches in cities is complex and their direct benefits for pollinator communities and pollination aren’t always straightforward.

The effects of flower supplementation on pollinators and pollination along an urbanisation gradient
Enhancing urban greenspaces for pollinator communities by planting flower patches is increasingly common, but their efficacy for different groups of insects (bees, hoverflies and moths) is unclear. O....

A new paper demonstrates a clear latitudinal gradient in responses of the Finnish moth communities to warming climate. This work is based on the Finnish

🚨 Just out in Nature Communications from my current work with fantastic collaborators
@rececochange.bsky.social
! We show that moth communities are experiencing an overall “warming,” with a clear latitudinal pattern: extinction in the north and colonisation in the south.

Recent community warming of moths in Finland is driven by extinction in the north and colonisation in the south - Nature Communications
As Finland’s climate warms, cold-adapted moths are disappearing in the north while warm-loving species move in from the south. This shift in insect communities highlights the threat climate change pos...

Cool new research by
@e-ellis1.bsky.social
Moths & hoverflies are more sensitive to urbanisation than bees, but urban trees boost moth species richness in UK cities.

🚨New research in Proc B! We show hoverflies & moths are more sensitive to urbanisation compared to bees, but tree canopies & semi-natural greenspaces help boost urban pollinator diversity.

Drivers of nocturnal and diurnal pollinating insect declines in urban landscapes | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
Insect pollinators are essential for terrestrial ecosystems, delivering key ecosystem functions in the face of anthropogenic disturbance. Urbanization may be a key threat to pollinator communities. Ho...

Check out our new paper just published in PNAS! Our cross-taxon analysis (🦅🌿🦋) revealed that boreal communities are losing cold-affiliated species + becoming thermally homogenised under climate warming. Led by Jussi Mäkinen
