Did you know nearly 90 per cent of flowering plant species benefit from pollinators? Join in the celebrations and discover the rich and diverse world of pollinators this #AustralianPollinatorWeek. Find out more at australianpollinatorweek.org.au

We have a PhD position open in plant volatile interactions. Interdisciplinary project, from molecules to biological interactions. Position is open until filled. Thanks for spreading the word. ohws.prospective.ch/public/v1/jobs…

🐝 Happy Australian Pollinator Week! During this special week, you can take part in the Australian Pollinator Count, a long-term #CitizenScience project to #monitor the status and trends of pollinator populations. Find out more: australianpollinatorweek.org.au/count/

Spidey senses: Engaged. In Australia, only 2,700 species of spiders have been identified out of an estimated 10,000... A group of University of Southern Queensland researchers have recently named and described 48 new ground-hunting spiders!!! 🕷️ All the details via ABC News.

Introducing our beautiful new #filmposter created by our wonderful #filmanimator Brook Morgan 💚🪱🐛 With some of the team already in #Oxford were so excited for tomorrow night’s 1st UK #filmscreening ORFC 🎬🎥🎬

The embargo on our latest Science article just lifted! We are excited to finally be able to share our findings on the effects of pollution on pollinator visits to flowers. Here's a link to the New York TImes article which will be in the paper tomorrow: nytimes.com/2024/02/08/sci…

An incredible piece of research by Jeremy Chan and Jeff Riffell . It confirms and even escalates our concerns about the potential impacts of air pollution on the chemical ecology of nocturnal insects. A very challenging and impressive piece of science with worrying implications...

For all people who struggle with academic writing, Loisa Lagisz and I share our experiences and secrets, which helped 50+ students publish their first papers. Please share with your colleagues!

🐝 #Pollinators are responsible for much more than food-crops. From biofuels to medicines, we rely on pollinators in much of our daily lives. Check out a few facts about pollinators from the ipbes #PollinationAssessment ⬇️ Read the Report here: ipbes.net/assessment-rep…

Our new 𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗮-𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀 Nature Communications shows how beneficial insects are much worse off than plant pests!!! We identify generalizable predictors for understanding how anthropogenic air pollutants impact insect communities. Thank you Jake Bishop
