I'm proud to be associated with the newly launched Database of Pollinator Interaction Database of Pollinator Interactions, hope it proves to be a valuable free resource for scientists, conservationists, & all interested in pollinators & pollination dopi.org.uk Prof. Jeff Ollerton - @[email protected]

So pleased to have supported The Database of Pollinator Interactions (DoPI) which documents British pollinator-plant associations. dopi.org.uk Database of Pollinator Interactions Dave Goulson Maria Clara Castellanos Andy Philippides BBKA #bees #pollinators #habitats

After a tremendous effort led by Nick Balfour, our Database of Pollinator Interactions Database of Pollinator Interactions is now live dopi.org.uk. Thousands of records on British plant-pollinator interactions in a single location. With Dave Goulson & support from BBKA & Eva Crane Trust

The call for #nature's recovery #petition has been signed by over 75K people 🥳! But #DYK we need 100K signatures to get a debate on the issue in #Parliament? So what are you waiting for, ask friends, family or followers to sign it NOW 👉 ow.ly/Rny250DW7nk #StateofNature

Almost half of #Scotland’s species have declined in numbers since 1970, & 1 in 9 is at risk of extinction. It doesn’t have to be this way. We are asking #Holyrood 2021 candidates to champion Scotland's nature🌱#NatureChampion ow.ly/jNk150E8GDw

CarniDIET 1.0 was published today! 'But, what is CarniDIET', you ask? Well, we collated quantitative data on the diet compositions of the world's carnivorous mammals using (mainly) peer-reviewed literature and made this open-access for others to use 💩🦁🦊 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ge…

Trend for 'tree glue': marketed as environmentally-friendly way to kill moths and ants is terrible. This stuff is horribly dangerous to #bats that get stuck to it. If you want natural pest control, encourage bats! m.facebook.com/story.php?stor… Monty Don Dave Goulson

A paper from my PhD was just published in Journal of Ecology where we show rapid evolution of #flowers of Digitalis purpurea in the presence of a new pollinator group, hummingbirds besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13… Maria Clara Castellanos

This is a very bad idea M&S News: - honey #bees are not as important as wild #pollinators such as bumblebees - honey bees compete with wild pollinators for nectar and pollen - this plan could negatively affect pollinator biodiversity - honey bees are not endangered!

New data added - and they're mostly moth records! Many thanks to the authors for sharing Dr Richard Walton royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

New research finds weed species like ragwort and thistles can support a greater volume and variety of pollinators than many flowers recommended for pollinators like red clover and wild marjoram. Sussex Uni News LASI Journal of Applied Ecology britishecologicalsociety.org/research-demon…

Perspective paper exploring the value of common but underappreciated or disliked plants to pollinating insects with a focus on ivy, dandelion and bramble. Some suggestions are provided on how to reframe societal perceptions towards their ecological value. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pa…
