Happy to contribute to this open letter on #UrbanForests as essential infrastructure. With recent federal climate cuts in #Canada, it’s time to rethink priorities. Thanks to Manuel Esperon-Rodriguez. @plantspeopleplanet.bsky.social @cef-cfr.bsky.social nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Our new paper is out! We show that assessing the effects of adding flower patches in cities is complex and their direct benefits for pollinator communities and pollination aren’t always straightforward. @plantspeopleplanet.bsky.social #openaccess doi.org/10.1002/ppp3...

My first first-author publication, and some behind the scenes from data collection!

Pleased to be part of this important letter led by @cmarin.bsky.social @thegsbi.bsky.social, calling for greater global action to protect soil biodiversity! A timely publication also because today is #WorldEarthwormDay 🌍🪱

Nice outcome of this paper is that Thismia kobensis is just another Thismia species that behaves as normal plant species (i.e. it has multiple localities). Thismia is probably not extremely rare as popularly believed but just extremely overlooked and hard to find.
