Gratton Lab

Lab member @BenIuliano will be sharing his PhD work about lady beetles and agricultural landscapes this Friday in the @UWMadisonCALS entomology department seminar

A special Sunday-at-3pm edition of @WedNiteAtTheLab coming up Feb 5: @BenIuliano of @flypod2 Lab in @UWMadisonCALS Dept of Entomology speaks on Predator Insects & Wasps. Come learn more about the Friends of the Lakeshore Nature Preserve supporting the work of @UWPreserve 🐝

The Gratton lab is hiring up to two graduate students (MSc or PhD) to work on funded projects related to land management and insect conservation! See our website for details and share widely gratton.entomology.wisc.edu/prospective-gr…

Please RT! The Mola Lab seeks graduate students to join us at @ColoradoStateU in @FRStewardship or @CSU_Ecology! Funded positions on bee conservation, insect overwintering, fire ecology, and urban ecology! Interested students fill out this form: forms.gle/KaTcQEihzyd1B8…

Wild Bees in Wisconsin! Get to know them better, & share your observations with the WiBee App. Hear the melliferous story from Claudio Gratton @flypod2 @GrattonLab 7/20 @WedNiteAtTheLab. 7pm CT Room 1111 @UWBiotechCenter 425 Henry Mall Zoom go.wisc.edu/240r59 Open 2 All

Excited to share another new paper from the @GrattonLab, published today in Landscape Ecology (my second in the journal in 3 weeks 😆)! This one is led by @hugs_4_bugs. We show that lady beetles 🐞 are lighter & leaner in simplified ag landscapes. doi.org/10.1007/s10980… 1/9

New paper published in Landscape Ecology @iale_na led by @ErinBeeLowe, with @arives_UW and @flypod @grattonlab. We wrote an #RStats package! link.springer.com/article/10.100… 1/9

Prof @eap_martin had the opportunity meet and give a presentation at the @GrattonLab in late April! Our group is excited to continue following their research on the landscape ecology of insects.

The third piece of @Genevieves_bees most excellent dissertation is in print! Movement during nest searching reflects nest habitat quality. Yowza! doi.org/10.1111/een.13…. @rghatfield @_JohnMola @AskAboutOaks @beepunstings @SaveWildBees @PollinateTufts @RachaelEBee @bee_searcher

MSU is hiring a Distinguished Professor of ecology and evolution to be based @kbsltar I'd love to see outstanding entomologists in the mix. Please share widely careers.msu.edu/en-us/job/5090… @evoecolab @GrattonLab @EcoIPM @mmlopezu

🚨New Paper Alert!📜 The Importance of Forests in Bumble Bee Biology and Conservation 🌳🐝 Available for free in BioScience with myself, @jH_wisc, @jademkoch, @leifr7, and Ian Pearse We think this overview will be very useful for many - give it a read! academic.oup.com/bioscience/art…

My first (ever, but also first-author) paper is finally out! 🦋 We surveyed at monarch butterflies on grasslands to better understand their habitat needs on a landscape scale. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

🚨POSTDOC JOB ALERT!🚨 Interested in landscapes🌄, agriculture🚜, pollinators🐝 and spatial modeling🧑‍💻? The Williams Lab is hiring a postdoc in pesticide risk assessment and bee biology to be based at @UCDavisEntomolo Apply today! recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF04353

Interested in organic fruit production, IPM, pollinators, and sustainable agriculture? The UW-Madison Wisconsin Fruit group is looking for a highly qualified, motivated individual wishing to pursue a MS degree in sustainable organic fruit crop production. fruit.wisc.edu/2021/07/30/m-s…

Check out the press release from @hamiltonerics, with stunning illustrations by @chase_prairie news.wisc.edu/midwest-bumble…

Latest publication from the lab - congrats to @jH_wisc and team 🥳

Farm fields! Take a closer look & you'll find that they're more than the crops that grow on them. A new review out by @glbioenergy & WEI researchers explores how we can design these landscapes to support crops AND biodiversity: energy.wisc.edu/news/designing…
