Another milestone for @pomscheme.bsky.social ! This recently published paper describes the methodology behind the official stats on pollinating insects we released in June. Thanks to all the coauthors and especially to @clairecarvell.bsky.social and @drnickisaac.bsky.social.

New data on insect pollinators show a dramatic decline in hoverflies across Great Britain between 2017–2024. 📉 Around one third reduction in abundance & number of hoverfly species recorded as part of @pomscheme.bsky.social www.ceh.ac.uk/press/new-da... 1/ @jncc.bsky.social 🧪

Gutted I cannot attend this in person but hoping to receive the materials & be able to contribute remotely to this really important topic. If you're at #BES2025 & work with long-term population monitoring data, I'd consider this workshop 👍

If you are attending #BES2025 and are interested in #biodiversity monitoring in the UK, come to our lunchtime workshop on creating a UK Biodiversity Observation Network.

Still a couple of weeks left to apply for this #PhD. How are pollinating #insects changing in the UK? This project will develop indicators for #pollinators using #citizenscience data. A collaboration between @ukceh.bsky.social, University of Reading and JNCC. tinyurl.com/3ve5szrh

With the @britishecolsoc.bsky.social and @ukeof.bsky.social, we’re hosting researchers and users of environmental monitoring data from across the UK at today's National Environment Monitoring Conference, exploring ways to develop a more cohesive approach to the UK’s environmental evidence system.

How effective are efforts to stop the yellow-legged (Asian) hornet? Despite the UK’s suitable climate and habitat, rapid action has prevented establishment. A new study models its spread in invaded regions to predict spread elsewhere without intervention. www.ceh.ac.uk/press/study-... 🧵 1/

Predicted suitability for Vespa velutina nigrithorax and predicted probability of occupancy for all sites across Germany, The Netherlands, and the UK by 2020 and 10 years following the first introduction based on spread scenarios from France, Italy, and Spain.
