🚨🚨 Paper alert 🚨🚨 We study sterol specialisation in 4 cavity-nesting bees in European cities to understand if it reflects plant host specialisation! We also compare sterol composition in pollen provisions and in adult bees to assess of bees are exactly what they eat 🐝🐝 #urbanecology #bees

Excited to participate tomorrow in the Weihenstephaner Forum 2025 on Shared Landscapes :) If you’re in Freising, come! www.acl-tum.de/forum/weifo25/

Our @igue-aeet.bsky.social is organizing a seminar series, starting with Manuel Delgado-Baquerizo @irnasa.bsky.social talk entitled "The fate of soil biodiversity and function under global environmental change". 23rd of October at 16:30 (Madrid time, CET) LINK drive.google.com/file/d/18Bk2...

We are offering a 2-year postdoctoral position to join the @valor-project.eu Horizon EU project: Values and dependence of society on pollinators bartomeuslab.com/joining-the-...

🌍 New publication alert! In our latest piece in Nature Cities, we highlight how biodiversity modeling can support urban planning by balancing human well-being with nature. This helps cities meet biodiversity targets while ensuring access to healthy ecosystems. Read the article: buff.ly/zeRBrYh

In exactly one month (23 October), the Iberian Group of Urban Ecology kicks off a series of #UrbanEcology seminars! We have the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Manuel Delgado-Baquerizo from @irnase.bsky.social for the first session. Add the event to your calendar: drive.google.com/file/d/18Bk2...

Synthesis presentation by legendary Marco Moretti at #gfoe2025 on urban densification and biodiversity 🏙️🦇🐝🐌🪲🦕

Presenting our work on the foraging strategies of urban and rural #bunblebee indivifuals at the #gfoe2025 🐝 #urbanecooogy #individualbasedecology See paper ar: doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

Did you know that "ugly-cute" animals like vultures, sloths, and aye-ayes play key roles in ecosystems? From cleaning up carcasses to preventing disease spread & pollination, these misunderstood creatures are vital to #biodiversity.🌏🧪 Find out more:

After few months of emails, shared documents and video calls, the foundation of the Iberian Group of Urban Ecology has finally started at #Sibecol25! Thanks @hernandezaguero.com and @jjimenezpenuela.bsky.social and to all presenters and participants of the #urbanecology sessions, it’s been great 🌆

IGUE has just been presented into society in the @sibecol-aeet-25.bsky.social. Thank you to everyone who has come today and who has participate in the debate about what we want to do in the near future within this group. Up to the date, we have just received more than 60 requests!!

The third and final paper of my PhD is now out! @foxnat.bsky.social

We had a great session yesterday with @hernandezaguero.com and @jjimenezpenuela.bsky.social at #Sibecol25 on urban ecology with very interesting research topics including herbivory, butterflies, bees, pollutants, urban agriculture and salamanders 🏙️🌇

It is today!

Here you can find some urban ecology posters!

Ok! Draft 2! I still don't know where the eff to send people for an *EASY! user friendly!!!* guide to where plant ranges. I may include a page 2 with a sample ranking of results, idk.
