Introduced species shed friends as well as enemies – a new study published this week by Zoe Xirocostas and Angela Moles #ecology #biodiversity #pollinators #invasivespecies jeffollerton.co.uk/2024/05/16/int…

You might know that introduced species can escape their enemies in new ranges, but did you know they can also lose their friends? 🪻💔🐝 Check out our (Angela Moles Prof. Jeff Ollerton - @[email protected] et al.) newly published cross-continental study: doi.org/10.1038/s41598…

The FANCIEST room I’ve ever spoken in 🫢 I had the pleasure of opening the debate for Future Science Talks on the affirmative for the topic “AI will destroy humanity”. A bit outside my usual repertoire but our team secured the win 🏆


"The promise of community-driven preprints in ecology and evolution" A brilliant exploration of the first 1000+ #preprints published in @EcoEvoRxiv. Brilliantly led by Daniel Noble 🇦🇺🇨🇦 with a stellar list of co-authors. 📰doi.org/10.32942/X2SS46 Materials: github.com/daniel1noble/e…






Our meta-analysis on the effects of silicon-based plant defences on different herbivore functional groups is out now in Ecology Letters! This was a great team effort with Professor Scott Johnson Shinichi Nakagawa | 中川震一 Sue Hartley Julia Cooke James Ryalls & Losia Lagisz. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…


Do you estimate species cover as part of your research? Check out our (Maddy Cruickshank, Angela Moles + Sam Debono ) new training application - COVERater (coverater.com) which helps improve and standardise visual cover estimates! Paper here: dx.doi.org/10.1002/ece3.7…

Congratulations to the Blue Banded Bee! And what better time to take out the title than Australian Australian Pollinator Week! abc.net.au/news/2024-11-0…




Excited to share our new paper, led by Daniel Noble 🇦🇺🇨🇦, in Royal Society Publishing! ‘We believe that the future of preprints is bright, and community-driven initiatives, such as EcoEvoRxiv, will play a crucial role in the future of scientific publishing.’ 👉tinyurl.com/4tpbj859
