Plant peeps at #Evol2026, we're sorry to say that the new @ijpsjournal.bsky.social bandanas will not debut until #Botany2026, but you can still swing by the @chicagojournals.bsky.social @asn-amnat.bsky.social booth to say hi and grab a magnet or sticker. #PlantScience

Reticulate evolution and climate driven diversification shaped the origin and geographic structure of Linum bienne https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.06.17.732954v1

Reticulate evolution and climate driven diversification shaped the origin and geographic structure of Linum bienne https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.06.17.732954v1

Linum bienne is the wild ancestor of a fiber crop, flax, and the threads of its evolutionary history are as entangled as it can get! 🪡🌱 We used (phylo)genomics to untangle how secondary contact and climatic shifts shaped this complex species across taxonomic scales. @rorrodew.bsky.social

Mismo género,pero sus tamaños y fenologías son distintos. Anthophora hispanica vuela pronto en Doñana, de gran tamaño, patrulla flores de Erophaca baetica en mañanas frías de febrero. Anthophora bimaculata vuela en abril y mayo forrajeando flores de boragináceas entre otras. @ebdonana.bsky.social

En España viven unas 1.200 especies de abejas. Proteger esta enorme diversidad y al resto de polinizadores es esencial para conservar nuestros ecosistemas.

I celebrate World Bee Day by honouring one of my favourite bee groups, Eeuglossine bees #Euglossa #Orchidbee #WorldBeeDay

Brezal de Erica australis y Pterospaetum tridentatum (herriza) en Laballós (NW León), nueve meses después de ser “arrasado” por el fuego (08/2025). Regeneración con floración profusa post-incendio de Simethis mattiazzi!! Y la erosión?? Miren el horizante orgánico. KEEP CALM AND RESTORE YOURSELVES.

Paper out onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/1438...! Can an #invasive plant disrupt #pollination in just days? Our study shows that #HimalayanBalsam reduces effective pollen transfer to the native Stachys sylvatica by 80% within 4 days. Visits are not always pollination! @plantsciencedbg.bsky.social

Just published: paper based on my plenary talk at the Frugivores and Seed Dispersal Symposium 2024. The biodiversity of plant–frugivore interactions: types, functions and consequences. @oikosjournal.bsky.social doi: nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

20 de abril del 90, hola chata ¿cómo estás? Pues mira, Cifu, no sé cómo estaba 'la chata', pero el 20 de abril del 90 estábamos (en Madrid) en un rango de temperatura de 4° (mínima) y 15° (máxima). Hoy vamos a movernos entre los 12 de mínima y 28 de máxima. De locos.

just opened the window to say...paper accepted! yay! "Rapid disruption of pollination function by the invasive plant Impatiens glandulifera" is coming soon! #impatiens #invasions #pollination #bumblebees

At the same time, 4 editors have signed up for another 4-year term on the board, including @rorrodew.bsky.social, Steffi Ickert-Bond, @hsauquet.bsky.social, and Cassie Majetic. We're grateful for their dedication to @ijpsjournal.bsky.social and editorial work more generally. (3/n) #PlantScience

"Without research, we cannot have a future where people and planet thrive" An interview with BSA member @sandyknapp.bsky.social! www.museumsassociation.org/museums-jour...

I am pleased to announce a new postdoctoral position in Theoretical Ecology. More info here: info.bc3research.org/2025/11/06/p...

New paper led by @bposch.bsky.social out in @newphyt.bsky.social . We reviewed evidence, mechanisms, and consequences of high temperature acclimation of leaf heat tolerance: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... perhaps one of these papers that makes us stop and think how to approach our ecological (and evolutionary) research agenda from a philosophical perspective

New paper out today in Ecology Letters! In this synthesis we dive into the equilibrium assumption in ecology - why it's everywhere in ecological theory, the evidence for it in nature, when meeting the assumption is important, how to achieve it in empirical research, and more! tinyurl.com/yh6kyysm

#juandelacierva call is out www.aei.gob.es/convocatoria... contact me if you wish to apply to my group at the University of Granada ...we're working on flowering phenology, pollination ecology and floral evolution

irreplaceable loss...the world is a little uglier and less human without her, she was trully unique. #JaneGoodall

hemos pasado unos días fantásticos en Sevilla, en la UPO, hablando de botánica @sebot.bsky.social es una sociedad viva, joven y colaborativa...fantástica organización! #SEBOT2025

🐝🌸 New article in @aobp.bsky.social addressing how coflowering between two closely related Palicourea species in the Brazilian Cerrado influences pollination dynamics. Full #openaccess 👉 doi.org/pwm8 @rorrodew.bsky.social #PlantScience

"Es necesario conservar e introducir flora silvestre en las ciudades para proteger la biodiversidad, algo que también facilita la reconexión entre personas y naturaleza" www.conservacionvegetal.org/2025/03/04/d...

Las moscas florícolas (Syrphidae) son insectos altamente beneficiosos: mientras que los adultos polinizan, sus larvas contribuyen al reciclaje de la materia orgánica 🍂 o al control de plagas agrícolas. Os dejo aquí una lámina genial con las especies del género Eristalis de la península ibérica 😉👇

Hembra de Xylocopa violacea (~650 mg) comiendo en flor de Viola odorata y hostigada por un macho de Osmia cornuta (~40 mg), que trata insistentemente de aparearse con ella. Y no se me ocurre nada más que decir. Pasé varios minutos mirando, perplejo, sin dar crédito al sinsentido que estaba viendo.

It's such bad practice to ignore or neglect your collaborators

Este jueves vuelven los Cafés Sistemáticos ☕️🍀 con una doble charla sobre la planta de coca de la mano de Óscar Alejandro Pérez Escobar @latinorchidbot.bsky.social @rbgkew.bsky.social y Carmen Posada Monroy desde RJB-CSIC. 🗓️ Jueves, 20 de marzo ⌚️ 11:00 (CET) 🔗 conectaha.csic.es/b/cri-bnh-kz... 👇👇👇

Enhorabuena @cmhmaliani.bsky.social...el valor intrínseco de la Historia Natural de los organismos como único modo de comprender los mecanismos que subyacen a los procesos ecológicos, aquí más www.youtube.com/live/S4lo8IH... empezando la reflexión en el minuto 44

por si es de interés para la comunidad @eco-aeet.bsky.social

En Sudán, hubo una operación secreta para salvar cientos de semillas de la destrucción de la guerra civil. Esta es la historia de cómo 1.884 muestras fueron rescatadas y llevadas al Banco Mundial de Semillas de Svalbard, en Noruega

Despite experiencing high summer temperatures, the interior of the capitula of 15 species of Mediterranean thistles blooming during the hottest time of year was substantially cooler than the air most of the time. esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... [Paywalled, DM me for pdf file ]

Finally in press academic.oup.com/aobpla/advan... really proud of this piece of work...our little contribution to understand the interplay between coflowering, bee visitation and pollen delivery and deposition @juliorabadan.bsky.social check this out!

Plaza de #ayudantedoctor en #botánica en la #UGR Aquí los detalles de la convocatoria urldefense.com/v3/__https:/... por favor, dad difusión @sebot.bsky.social @jovenesbotanica.bsky.social @eco-aeet.bsky.social

So much work left to do...and we thought that we've come a long journey...

So, for International Women's Day, I've asked my Botany students to look for female scientists in Plant Science and do a short (3-4 min presentation) about their achievements

As a female academic, how often does a female colleague mansplain you?

There is still time to submit your abstract to the #SCAPE2024 Joint Special Issue in Pollination Ecology! NJB and Journal of Pollination Ecology are looking forward to your abstract submission by email to [email protected] or using this form: forms.gle/xC5EJp2w5VJV... DL 22.12.2024

if you can't join, text me and I'll add you!

Ok so this is my first contribution to this social network...join the conversation on pollination ecology...since bsky is represented by 🦋 it makes sense to start this group!
