Our special issue - Natural Processes influencing pollinator health is out today in #PhilTransB. royalsocietypublishing.org/toc/rstb/curre… Thx to the authors of 20 outstanding papers in the issue. It was a privilege to work with @sphaerularia @HaukeKoch @RSocPublishing @royalsociety @KewScience

I came across a set of truly terrible bot-generated products on Amazon, but I somehow feel like they accidentally captured the soul of us nature nerds

@Harpur @emtomology I really like the idea of having the descriptors in English common names for bees just be (more or less) direct translations of the species epithet (as in "melliferous honey bee"). Would make common names so much less ambiguous.

It was a learning experience for sure 😂 but I'm glad we did it and I think it turned out amazing!

I've been using RStudio for over 5 years, and I didn't know about half of these. This is so helpful!

@pollenmicrobes @AquilaPrincess @Caroline_Bartma I'm at the point where this is gonna be the next thing I try 🥲

@AquilaPrincess @Caroline_Bartma @BeesOnEarth this is the problem!!

Some beautiful wildflowers from today's morning hike with the lab at Stebbins Cold Canyon!

Stebbins was beautiful after the rain! And we found newts!! @UCDavisReserves @rachelvannette @J_S_Francis @BeesOnEarth @DanielleRutkow @Lexie_Martin_ @Ingrid_BLV426 + Dino & Becca

Great spring lab hike at Stebbins @UCDavisReserves with @pollenmicrobes @DanielleRutkow @Lexie_Martin_ @J_S_Francis @BeesOnEarth @Ingrid_BLV426 Becca and Dino.

There is a turkey on the 3rd floor of the parking structure angrily gobbling at every car that passes by #JustUCDavisThings

Am I testing my hypothesis or is my hypothesis testing me?

Ayee it’s me! 😊 If you don’t already please follow and support @EntoPOC they are doing amazing things

@BombusChristy I once caught a Lasioglossum that had 2 submarginal cells on one wing and 3 on the other. I was like 👁️ 👄 👁️

Can someone please tell me why this Diadasia has the audacity to have only two submarginal cells??? Nooooo key I’ve found works for this guy…

Insect Ecology group and Vannette lab @UCDavisEntomolo chose some favorite papers of 2021, here's our list! What would you add? vannettelab.faculty.ucdavis.edu/2021-papers-of…

"Commercial Plant Nurseries as Habitat for Wild Bees" 😳

Why are you, as a university, emailing underpaid grad students about Giving Tuesday

A side project from Chapter 4 of my PhD is now out in @ESAEcology's Scientific Naturalist. If you're into cute little bees doing cute little things with flower petals, then I recommend checking it out. I'll write up a summary thread on it soon!

@J_S_Francis "I heard this is a medical conference, but I think I know why we're all really here today..." [opens bee PowerPoint]

@BeesOnEarth But can you accept and then just talk about whatever you want? That'd show them...

Me getting a guest speaker invitation in my email: 😍 Me seeing it's on a topic I've never studied and realizing it's spam: 🙃
