@biolumiJEFFence Real animals do not have bones.

"That's the most important thing, that we care about the whales that we're watching, that we do give them a bit of a buffer, some space, limit the amount of time that we're with them," -- Elizabeth Zwamborn, Dalhousie whale researcher | CBC News cbc.ca/news/canada/no…

We did it! @alanapindar and @SabRondeau and I have published a compilation of the wild bee visitors to major crops in N. America in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems doi.org/10.3389/fsufs.…

@sydcannings1 Thanks for all your work on Bombus bohemicus!

@CTVAtlantic quotes me here but doesn't mention that I said (repeatedly) in the interview that the fumigation was unnecessary, likely completely ineffective, and a huge waste of money. atlantic.ctvnews.ca/western-black-…

That's a wrap for our 2022 mottled duskywing crew from @WPCWild911 at @PineryProvPark! These dedicated folks collected our first year of data on Ontario's first reintroduced population of an endangered butterfly. See you all next year!

Sigh. Unnecessary application of pesticides to solve a problem that was resolved as soon as the spiders were found and removed. Fumigation is not generally effective against spiders. globalnews.ca/news/9099593/b…

Here is a Google Map of all the current sightings of the Steller's Sea-Eagle in North America. All sightings logged on this map have been confirmed by various sources. google.com/maps/d/viewer?… #StellersSeaEagle #birding #birdwatching

Way to go @AlanaPindar!

Bombus terricola nesting in an abandoned mouse nest made from leaves and feathers in an old honey bee hive at my place...and lots of B. fervidus individuals around the hive too. Has anyone ever tested if queens are attracted to the smell of mouse when looking for a nest?

As #WorldHoneyBeeDay is celebrated, let’s remember that we need to protect the diversity of our pollinators. #Biodiversity is critical to our maintaining healthy ecosystems. So let’s also celebrate & protect wild pollinators — too often forgotten or ignored in public policy.

If you see these people at the #insectarium do not worry: they are just from the COSEWIC arthropod subcommittee iNating stuff in the garden out front. @MaximLarrivee

Always an honour to tour the new #insectarium @EspacePourLaVie with fellow #entomologists and members of the @cosewic arthropod subcommittee. Especially when our #pollinator garden yields a #lifer for some of them!! #entomophilia @Jessicalinton86

I'm delighted and humbled by this! I'll give a plenary on Monday afternoon at the @CSEE_SCEE conference called "Community Science and Species at Risk".

Wednesday 03 August 2022, at Bell Museum in Baddeck. Come and see what it is all about! @AlanaPindar @cbuniversity @CBUBiology

@Niku_DiRienzo But today, Pruitt is still faculty and Canada150 Chair on McMaster psych dept website. Image capture about 21:55. ADT.
