The final open-access version of our paper is out! Here we found diverse diets among honey bee hives even when in close proximity. Non-almond pollen was a complementary resource throughout the season! doi.org/10.1016/j.baae… @ManuSaunders @SamnegardUlrika @rominatwi

We did it! Team BioCEC🏃‍♀️ #lundaloppet @cec_lund @Biology_LU @Lundsuni

Did you know that also small birds use torpor to save energy in winter? if not (also if you did!) check out our new paper. Again feeling extremely lucky to have awesome collaborators! @BeckmannChrista @FrontiersIn #Torpor #YellowRobins #PasserineResearch frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

@barragan_lanuza @JEcology @ibartomeus @dr_tialynn @GregBible1 @rominatwi Really cool study!! Well done!

Finally online in @JEcology! Here we explore how traits and relatedness determine the competitive structure of heterospecific pollen deposition and its impact in an artificial coflowering community doi.org/10.1111/1365-2… @ibartomeus @dr_tialynn @GregBible1 @rominatwi

Thanks to all who helped me with #pollinator #plantingguides, I now got great coverage for US, UK and Australia😀. If somebody have further suggestions from Asia, Africa, South America, and Europe (except UK and Ireland) I would highly appreciate it. Litt could be in any language

Today Stockholm University published a short popular science movie (in Swedish) about our project on the effects of extreme drought on biodiversity. @Irena_Adia su.se/nyheter/extrem…

Wow, this is so great - I’m overwhelmed! Thank you so much for your contributions; this is exactly the literature overview I needed! 🐝🦋🐝

Pollinator researchers - can you help me to find examples of planting guides for pollinators? Could be books, homepages etc., country wide or regional. It would be lovely with examples from several countries and continents. Thanks🙂

@TheBeeEcologist Great thanks @TheBeeEcologist , I will check it out. For Australia I have been using the Bee Friendly book by Mark Leech, but it would be great to find some additional resources!

@SamnegardUlrika This is asked a lot in Australia right now. I know of some regional guides being produced by the Wheen Bee foundation, so check their website. Other local authorities are producing their own all the time, but no consistent resource yet. Ask Michael Batley at Aus Museum for a list

I am looking for a postdoctoral researcher (up to 3 years) interested in experimental community ecology and trophic interaction modifications. Come work with me at @UZH_en, funded by @snsf_ch. More info about how to apply here: euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/568626 Please retweet widely!

Dipterans have many important functions in agroecosystems; however, they are too often overlooked. We found predatory #dipterans, potentially important for pest control, to be very common in Swedish apple orchards. Read more in our latest publication onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Nice paper by @emeijaard and colleagues on the massive biodiversity impact of Coconut oil compared to others (including palm oil). I hadn't realised that coconut plantations cover 12.6 million hectares! Nearly as much as palm oil (18.9). sciencedirect.com/science/articl… ht @wheeler_char

Check out my new paper 🧐 #bat feeding buzzes increased with #hemiptera abundance on high moon-lit nights 🌓... and other cool results #naturalpestcontrol #chiroptera Thankyou coauthors 🙌🏻 @rominatwi @AusBats @CottonAustralia @AgriPlantSoil @ERS_UNE aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

I’m happy to announce that my paper that covers my concern over pollinators in SW Ethiopia, is now published in #TheScientificNaturalist :). I hope this paper will spur further research on #pollinators and their services in under-studied areas of Africa. esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

@OliviaBernauer Thanks and thank you so much for your suggestions on methods :)

#Beetwitter: How do you separate #pollen grains from bee #corbicula loads? I have samples in ethanol I need to suspend in homogeneous solution but pollen stays clumped even after crush/vortex/mix in H2O (in different combos). Most papers don’t clarify methods.

Jim Molan says his "mind is open" on the issue of human-induced climate change. Renowned climate scientist Michael Mann responds. #QandA
