Trait and habitat filters shape absences of wild bee and butterfly species from road verges
Road verges can provide resources for pollinating insects, but it remains unclear if these resources are accessible to all species, or if some ecologi…

Today, our article "The entities enabling scientific fraud at scale are large, resilient, and growing rapidly" is finally published in PNAS. I hope that it proves to be a wake-up-call for the whole scientific community.

Der Europäische Meeres-, Fischerei- und Aquakulturfonds hat heute den Entwurf eines Kormoran-„Managementplans“ veröffentlicht. Das Ziel? Eine europaweite Tötung von Kormoranen durch Abschuss und das Einölen von Eiern. Teil den Beitrag, um zu zeigen, wer wirklich Schuld an der Überfischung ist.

Maybe it is a long shot but thought I could try out the power of this platform: I am looking for a botanist with knowledge of flora/plant ecology of the Miombo woodland ecoregion, particularly trees! 🌳🌍 If so, drop me a comment or DM! 😊
