New Basque children’s book, where the star is a Megachile 😍🌿🐝 | Malen Intsektuen Munduan, a story about pollination and the different pollinators here in the Basque Country 🌸

To start the day @julianresasco.bsky.social takes us through a century of changes in plant-pollinator interactions. #BES2025

🎄Team from Office 43-44 & friends ready for Xmas! 🖼️ Secret santa prep.== lots of fun 🪅 Eguberri eta Urte berri on danori!

So happy to see Sandra Diaz use trees from Gorbea as an example of relational values with nature #BES2025 🪾🍂💚💚

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of joining "the Bee’s Knees" podcast, where we talked about our latest research on honeybees and what it means for wild pollinators. 🎙️🐝 You can listen to the episode here: thebeesknees.website/wild-pollina...

Do you want to make ECOSISTEMAS a well-used and fair journal? We are looking for associate editors.

💜💜💜

Honoured (and a bit surprised!) to receive the Aixegetxo award last week. I never feel these things are just about me — they reflect the people, teams and communities I’m lucky to work with. Grateful for all your support. Mila esker. 💙🌿

I’ve never been a runner, but I’ve started lately—and it’s been amazing for clearing my head and managing stress. I’m slow, awkward, and very much a beginner… but I keep showing up. Still a turtle, but a resilient one. 🐢✨

🌸 The SARE Lab team joined #SCAPE2025 in Priego de Córdoba, sharing our latest work on pollinator ecology & microbiomes 🐝🦠 We presented 2 talks + 2 posters on how global change affects pollinator dynamics, biodiversity & ecosystem stability 🌍💛 #Ecology #Pollinators #GlobalChange

🚀 We’ve got a brand new website! Meet the SARE Lab team 👩‍🔬🦋🌻 and explore the projects we’re buzzing about — from pollinators to ecosystems and everything in between. 👉 Check it out: gorbeea.bc3research.org @sarelab.bsky.social #Ecology #Pollinators #Research #SARELab #GlobalChange

The real evil in science? Not reviewer #2, not impact factors… it’s the Spanish CVA platform making you retype your whole life. And yes, the “A” definitely stands for Agonía. #academiclife

First day at #SCAPEmeeting — and for the first time in Spain! 🌍 Inspiring talks, thought-provoking discussions, and the joy of reconnecting with old friends while meeting new ones. Excited for the days ahead @sarelab.bsky.social

Academics are stuck in a game we always lose. A for-profit publisher offered me $1K a year to edit one of their journals — work worth far more. I said no. We write, review, and edit for free, then pay to publish and read. Time to stop playing the game. #publishingsystem #academia

We’ve got baby Megachile! 🐝💚 Tiny leafcutter bees are busy building their leafy cradles – nature’s little architects at work. #Pollinators #LeafcutterBees #Biodiversity @sarelab.bsky.social

🌍🐝 At SARE Lab we stand for science that is inclusive, diverse, and just — and yes, pollinators are cool! ✊🌱💜 pledge inspired by @sibecol.bsky.social @sarelab.bsky.social #DiversityInScience #ClimateAction #SARELab

I once missed the chance to meet Jane Goodall because my supervisor said no. Here’s the story 🧵✨

Ayer falleció Jane Goodall, científica pionera, conservacionista incansable y una gran referente para todos los que queremos un futuro mejor para el planeta. Se la echará de menos. janegoodall.org

🍯🐝 Honey is tasty, and beekeeping is necessary…but how many honeybee hives do we really need? That’s exactly what we’re trying to figure out. In the meantime… we have honey! 🌿✨ #GorBEEa @erc.europa.eu

Thrilled to welcome @julianresasco.bsky.social (University of Colorado) on sabbatical with us! 🌿🐝 Ongi etorri! He gave a fantastic talk on how anthropogenic change reshapes plant–pollinator communities across time— from seasonal dynamics to long-term trajectories. #Pollination #GlobalChange

👑 Officially crowned Cucumber Queen. Long may I reign. 🥒✨

Another fantastic #Econet2025— had such a great time! So many inspiring talks, new ideas, and great conversations. Already looking forward to the next one in… Brazil!!! 🇧🇷

Just wrapped up a fantastic couple of days at RMBL🏔️ — inspiring people, incredible wildlife, and hikes that took my breath away (literally and figuratively 😅, altitude is tough). Already looking forward to the next time! 🌿✨

🐝 One of the unexpected perks of doing experiments with honeybees… harvesting some fresh, golden honey straight from the hive! 🍯 #ResearchPerks #Bees

Touched down in Colorado ✈️🌄 Off to RMBL for a data-theory pollinator workshop 🐝🌸 After years of reading the papers, I get to see the actual place they came from. Pinch me!

We survived fieldwork… and still like each other enough to celebrate together 😅💚 #BestTeam

📖 Reading Wild Woman — stories from women working in nature. 🌿 A powerful reminder of the importance of diverse perspectives in understanding ecology, conservation, and our relationship with the wild. #WomenInScience #Ecology

Our new paper shows that high-density honeybee populations alter wild pollinator visitation rates but don’t lead to proportional increases in crop production — highlighting complex impacts on pollination services and ecosystem balance. 🐝🌸🌱 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Looking forward to contributing to this initiative! 👩🏽‍🔬

Fieldwork has officially started!

Fieldwork preparation last week in Gorbeia. Sunnier days ahead… (hopefully 😅).

Happy 8M, everyone!!💜 If you are a mom in science or want to be, you might find helpful this video we made for you!🤰 communities.springernature.com/posts/intern... @ana-sanz-aguilar.bsky.social @imedea.bsky.social

Poster session at #Ecoflor2025

First day #ECOFLOR2025. Some moments of the first session of talks and the plenary conference: all excellent.

On our way to #Ecoflor2025

👀Después de la pausa, continuamos con la Mesa redonda sobre Experiencias en el Panel LS8 "Environmental Biology, Ecology and Evolution", moderada por @schob.bsky.social. Participan @ainhoamagrach.bsky.social, @annatraveset.bsky.social, José M. Gómez y Martí March.

Desde hoy la AEET deja de publicar en X. 🦋 Nuestra información sobre actividades, congresos, cursos... pasa a estar aquí, en bluesky. En este perfil bsky.app/profile/aeet... y en el de nuestra revista Ecosistemas bsky.app/profile/ecos....

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of us! Eguberri eta Urte Berri On! 🎄

Hi, Bluesky! 🌿 Excited to join this vibrant space!

[new paper] You probably suspected that loss of pollinator diversity consistently reduces reproductive success for wild and cultivated plants, but here we quantify it: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
