(1/2) Happy to share this collaborative effort where we explore the role of brain size in predicting bee tolerance to urban environments. Bees that tolerate urbanisation tend to have larger brains relative to their body than the ones that occur in natural or agricultural systems.

"Before motherhood, my career was making a steady ascent, marked by publications, grants. Everything changed after my first child was born. After that, all my applications were denied, with the comment that my productivity did not match that of my peers" nature.com/articles/d4158…

Really thrilled to present our last work on how pollinator interactions can inform us of their ability to persist in the field under a changing environment! nature.com/articles/s4155… Beautiful research in collaboration with iBartomeus, Oscar Godoy and Curro Molina , at Estación Biológica de Doñana - CSIC

Si nos fijamos en Amegilla fasciata, podremos ver que no todas las #abejassilvestres son negras con rayas amarillas 🐝 Algunas presentan máscaras con dibujos variados, otras tienen cabezas con formas peculiares, las antenas muy largas, o también pueden ser completamente negras

Podemos ayudar a las abejas silvestres con gestos muy sencillos, y las 9 acciones de conservación que nos proponen desde AbejasSilvestres son un gran ejemplo. Entre tod@s podemos crear una red de entornos amigables que les permitan prosperar 🐝 🐝🐝 youtube.com/watch?v=bH2l7P…

Yesterday at 2pm the first honeybee (Apis mellifera) in this species’ evolutionary history managed to pull a string for reward. They are much harder to train than bumblebees, though!

[new paper] Pollinators increase crop yield, but measuring their effect is complicated. Here we 1) synthesize almost 100 studies globally: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11… and 2) provide a dynamic paper to update results as more studies emerge: ibartomeus.github.io/CropPollinatio…

Great to see our new paper out in the Journal of Insect Physiology! In it we show that in a controlled glasshouse experiment, honey #bees show an increase in activity and pertebation to colony conditions at higher #temperatures #pollinators #pollinator sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

El curso de iniciación al conocimiento de abejas silvestres ya está a punto y disponible para cualquier interesado. Podéis consultar fechas, programa y cualquier otro detalle en este enlace tinyurl.com/ywv7dl4t. Las plazas son limitadas. Os esperamos. 🐝🐝🐝

Our Bombus terrestris lusitanicus colonies are thriving under controlled conditions 😍 Not sure why bumblebee rearing companies don't supply the Iberian subspecies to Iberian farmers, as it should be the most efficient at pollinating crops under our environmental conditions

Let's talk about #pollinators!🐝 Fijen et al shared that increasing #pollinatorhabitat quality is an alternative #conservation measure in agricultural landscapes when sufficient habitat is present.🌸 Read more at doi.org/10.1111/cobi.1… #wordoftheweek #science

🌸🐝 Pollinator flower choices are crucial for effective pollination services! 🌸 Our study explores impacts at species and community levels and shows positive biodiversity-functioning relationships: nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ec…

How does exposure to commonly encountered #pesticide residues in soil during hibernation affect #bumblebee queens? Find out in our new paper: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… with Nigel Raine ⚠️🐝👑 🧵1/5

Hoy los estudiantes de #EntomologíaSanitaria de la Universidad Alcalá han aprendido sobre #apicultura y biología de la abeja de la miel en el colmenar del @botanicoalcala. Gracias por las facilidades a Adolfo Peña y César Martínez, las abejas se nos han portado muy bien 🐝🐝🐝
