I use LLMs every day but it never crossed my mind to replace a student with it. I felt very disturbed by this essay at so many levels. Though I often think how I can use it more responsibly and how I can teach about responsible usage of it. www.science.org/content/arti...

Abstract submission is now open for the Nordic-Oikos-GfÖ conference taking place 14-17 September 2026 and bringing together +1200 ecologists! 👉 Submit your abstract here: vist.ly/4uzt9 We look very much forward to receiving your contribution!

Our paper with @mikkotiusanen.bsky.social out now in @oikosjournal.bsky.social 🥳 In the picture we are hard at work collecting data on Mount Calanda 🗻

🌎 Experiments are central to understanding community dynamics, yet their use is declining. We're trying to understand why. If you work in community ecology, we'd really appreciate your input in a quick survey (<5 mins). 👉🏼 link.webropolsurveys.com/S/2022629791... Reposts welcome!

Bee assemblage data from 681 crop fields across 3 continents shows that local pesticide hazards and decreasing adjacent semi-natural habitats negatively affected wild bee abundance and species richness in crop fields, while pesticides reduce functional diversity🧪🐝 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Proud friend moment ❤️ @agostinatorres.bsky.social The fact that I am not in BES does not mean I can be proud virtually 🤓 Thanks to onsite photo providers 😜 @mikkotiusanen.bsky.social

So happy to be back at the BES this year for #BES2025! I had a lot of nice discussions today already, and I'll be looking forward to the poster session this evening! Feel free to pass by poster nr: A-4.95 if you want to discuss species coexistence and higher-order interactions! 🌱🌿🌱

Welcome to BES2025! 💫  Today, we are so excited to welcome ecologists from 58 countries, encouraging innovative research and practice in ecology.  We have exciting talks and sessions ahead in the next days from agriculture, human's place in nature, AI to green finance and much more.

Announcement: I will start as an assistant professor of ecohydrology at the University of Oulu starting from January. Snow, microclimate and Arctic-alpine ecosystems still on focus. Stay tuned for soon-to-be-opened Postdoc and PhD positions! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

I am absolutely thrilled to share my first chapter, published today in @jappliedecology.bsky.social! Results are summarised in the thread below, or you can read it OA here doi.org/10.1111/1365... @ellileadbeater.bsky.social @rhulbiology.bsky.social @uclcber.bsky.social @ucl-pnl.bsky.social 1/7 🧪

How do we do more with biodiversity data we've already collected? I gave a TED Talk on scientific discovery in ecological databases at a joint TED Countdown and Bezos Earth Fund event for #NYClimateWeek this year, and it's now live! @inaturalist.bsky.social #AIforConservation

New study out in Ecology Letters 🌱🐑! Using long-term Åland monitoring data, we found that herbivory increases plant diversity across scales and flips the diversity–area relationship: a positive relationship is found in grazed sites while a negative one in ungrazed sites. 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/ele....

🐝 Pollinators are worth billions. A new study from the FLOWer Lab shows they secure over €2B/year for PT agriculture, with €1.1B coming from wild pollinators. Protecting them is essential for our food, economy and future. Read it: link.springer.com/article/10.1... News: www.uc.pt/fctuc/notici...

Are you involved in ecological forecasting in Europe? We’re mapping forecasting applications across the continent — from SDMs to observatories with predictive potential. Our goal: make EU forecasting more connected and identify both immediate and long-term forecasting potential.

Another amazing paper from Tara Christensen - with a surprising result that nectar generalists (butterflies) are declining more than specialists. esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

🌼🌡️ 🐝 Thermal conditions can directly reshape species interaction networks under climate change. ⬇️ In this invited short piece, I discuss how temperature-driven shifts in pollinators’ foraging choices, revealed by a new study, can cascade through entire plant–pollinator networks.

🌷New Research highlight showcases Arrowsmith et al. (2025), which shows that temperature alone can shift pollinators’ floral choices in diverse plant–pollinator communities. Such thermally-driven species interaction rewiring may have important consequences. ➡️ buff.ly/i5QrFjd @blancaac.bsky.social

I have a PhD opportunity with @juliakoricheva.bsky.social at @rhulbiology.bsky.social and @rbgkew.bsky.social to research the effect of forest diversification on understory forage provision for pollinators in an experimental mixed forest in Finland. www.trees-dla.ac.uk/projects/eff... please share

How many plant species are buzz pollinated? After more than six years in the making, our paper on the convergent evolution of buzz pollinated flowers is out in @journal-evo.bsky.social.

Pollinators such as wild #bees, #butterflies, and #hoverflies are in trouble worldwide. A major new study, published in Science, shows that the oft-quoted figure of 10% semi-natural habitat in farmland landscapes is far too little to safeguard pollinators jeffollerton.co.uk/2025/09/26/p...

To understand how climate change affects natural ecosystems we need to know how warming influences species interactions. In our newest paper we show that predator-prey interactions fundamentally change across latitude leading to context dependent effects of warming. 🧪 doi.org/10.1111/oik....
