What should you do if you find a bumblebee in bad weather?🤔 DON’T 🚫Take her indoors! 👑Bumblebee queens need to be outside to search for a place to nest. She may already have a nest that she is gathering food for. 🥵A bumblebee will burn more energy if kept warm indoors. 🧵1/4

Fantastic talk by Charlie Nicholson #nordicoikos24 - effects of pesticides on bees. Excellent research, beautifully explained. nature.com/articles/s4158…

New in nature, we show that commonly applied approaches have failed to accurately represent global trends in biodiversity. So what's the problem and what's the solution? nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our work on how bumble bee colonies are affected by landscape pesticide exposure is out in the current issue along with other interesting paper on related “Insects at risk” topics, though the bumble bee on the cover is really weird looking… nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our new paper, led by Dr. Maxime Eeraerts, examines how #pollination deficits & their relation with insect #pollinator visitation are cultivar-dependent in an entomophilous crop (#Blueberry) in Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment: doi.org/10.1016/j.agee… (🐝📸Jason Gibbs)

🌱 From the upcoming #AJB #Polyploidy special issue 🌱 Rethinking pathways to the dioecy–polyploidy association: Genera with many dioecious species have fewer polyploids By @WilOsterman, Adrian Hill, James Hagan et al. doi.org/10.1002/ajb2.1… #botany Wiley Plant Science

Pesticide risk during commercial apple pollination is greater for honeybees than other managed & wild bees 🐝 Suggests limiting orchard sprays, while reducing on-farm exposures, won't protect far-foraging bees from off-farm exposures like thiamethoxam 🔗doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

Attending #SETACSeville and interested in behavioural responses? Make sure to check out the behaviour session (1.04) on Tuesday, 9:30am to 12:55pm! I'll be presenting #EthoCRED, a new framework for assessing the relevance and reliability of behavioural ecotoxicity studies🐟🐸🧪

🆕シロツメクサで蜂を作りました🐝 お腹の縞がキラキラしてとても気に入っています。 茎はよく潰してから巻きます。 二枚目の葉は三枚重ねて葉脈で半分に折り、葉脈を上にして巻きつけます。 お腹も頭も、輪にした花の茎に、葉の茎を巻きつけて輪に通し、輪を締めて留めています。

Pesticides can be sustainably reduced, but this requires an approach that reconciles the seemingly conflicting goals of food production, environmental protection, biodiversity and human health. tiny.cc/ubv2yz

Abstract submission for the Royal Entomological Society annual conference #Ento24 is open! Opportunities to present (in person and online) your work to the entomological community. Abstract deadline: 17:00 (BST), Friday 14 June royensoc.co.uk/ento24-abstrac…

Thanks Lynn Dicks for highlighting or work investigating the effects of real world #pesticide exposure

🔥off the press! Our new paper in Royal Society Publishing: “Extreme heat exposure of host plants indirectly reduces solitary bee fecundity and survival” We tested whether pollen from heat stressed host plants has negative effects on wild bees. 🧵1/11 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Smallholder farmers increase reliance on honeybees (in place of diverse wild pollinators) when they shift from subsistence agriculture to cash crops = major implications for the resilience of livelihoods & nutrition. More in our Journal of Applied Ecology paper: doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

Hey #ESA2024 Ecological Society ! Anyone have any cool “synthesis” projects they’re looking for an awesome place to publish!?! Try Ecology Letters! Let me know if you have something or see something. Would be delighted to consider it. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/146102…
