🔎 In this final post, part of the #ANTENNAexpertise campaign, we are sharing a paper that delves into how the future distributions of 48 European bumblebee species are strongly affected by both climate change and land use change. Discover the paper here: doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

💡 A study assessed how climate change and landscape structure affect wild bee communities. Results show that rising temperatures reduce bee species richness, but maintaining a high proportion of semi-natural habitats can mitigate these negative effects. 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/1365... #ANTENNAexpertise

🐝 Pollinators are essential for crops and wild plants, yet data on their declines are limited and biased. Coordinated research infrastructures are key to monitoring trends and supporting pollinator conservation in agroecosystems. Read on the topic here: doi.org/10.1088/1748... #ANTENNAexpertise

🐝🦇 🐦In light of the numerous threats to #pollinator health, we are launching Advances in Pollinator Research - @apr.pensoft.net, a diamond #OpenAccess #journal that brings together diverse pollinator #science efforts. The journal will be powered by @arphahub.com 👇Read more about it on our blog:

🏛️ Museum specimens reveal long-term changes in pollinators, from species distributions to interactions, yet data remains scarce for most species. Case studies from New Zealand and Spain show how historical collections can help assess global declines. 🔗 doi.org/10.1098/rstb... #ANTENNAexpertise

💛🐝 This Valentine’s Day, show some love to the ones who keep our world blooming. The Young Citizens Assembly on Pollinators has launched its participation platform, and your voice can help shape the solutions to reverse the decline of wild pollinators: panoramic.make.org/en/partner/e...

The newly created National park Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse National Park (ESEMNP) in southern Belgium is buzzing! A 5-month survey of 32 sites collected 1,159 specimens from 102 species. See which habitat supported the highest #diversity here: ⤵️ doi.org/10.3897/BDJ....

💡 Automatised methods for scoring behaviours at scale give biologists powerful tools to interpret complex phenotypes. This paper shows how rethomics supports storing, handling, and visualising large behavioural datasets. Read it here: doi.org/10.1371/jour... #ANTENNAexpertise

#ANTENNAexpertise continues with another study related to how global warming may fuel the spread of the small hive beetle (Aethina tumida), a parasite threatening honey bees. Find the publication here: doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

⛰️ Take a look at a study that compared plant-pollinator communities in the Gavarnie-Gèdre commune of the Pyrenees across 115 years to assess the impact of climate change. Access the publication here: doi.org/10.1098/rspb... #ANTENNAexpertise

👀#ANTENNAexpertise continues, and this time we are focusing on an autonomous trap designed to better monitor insects in the field. Sticky Pi takes images of sticky cards every 20 minutes and, using deep learning algorithms, identifies which insects were captured and when. 🔗 doi.org/10.1371/jour...

💡 We continue our campaign highlighting research relevant to ANTENNA with a study from the Netherlands that examined over 4 million plant observations to assess the role of natural land cover in species conservation. Discover the study and its findings: doi.org/10.1371/jour... #ANTENNAexpertise

🎉 We’re excited tо start the new year with a campaign highlighting research that is relevant to ANTENNA. The first publication comes from the PoshBee project, and it examines how large-scale ecological studies handle complex challenges. Read it here: www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/14... #ANTENNAexpertise
