For my master's thesis, I worked on Pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca) nestling behavior and its link to parental food allocation. Here is a poster summarizing my work!

TIL that honey bees literally secrete beeswax FROM THEIR OWN BODIES, specifically from glands in their abdomen, eight neat flakes at a time. They then chew these flakes and mold them into cells in their hive, which are used to store pollen, honey, and eggs/larvae/pupae 📷 Honeybee Discovery Center

We're living in a landscape of novel ecosystems, emerging in every part of the world. The topic has been ably covered in this BBC article on "freakosystems" by Matthew Ponsford @interspecies.agency www.bbc.com/future/artic...

This Hawaiian island's 'freakosystems' are a warning from the future
Ecosystems which have never been seen before are being accidentally created by humans. They offer a stark look into the nature of tomorrow.

Nice BBC feature on novel ecosystems, including some of our @econovoau.bsky.social work (led by @mattkerr.bsky.social, @anordonez1.bsky.social & Erick Lundgren) 🌿🍃🐎
