En Doñana, encontramos 385 especies de abejas silvestres, desde enormes abejas carpinteras de 3 centímetros hasta otras diminutas que, muchas veces, pasan inadvertidas. Conocerlas es el primer paso pa...

Community ecology has developed a rich and increasingly diverse body of theory, but its rapid expansion has outpaced efforts to compare and synthesize competing frameworks. As a result, semantic ambig...

En un escenario utópico, el calentamiento sería de 1,8 ºC para finales de siglo. Desde ONU Medio Ambiente consideran que la mejor opción para volver al objetivo de 1,5 ºC y poder adaptarnos a impactos ya inevitables es reducir la temperatura tras alcanzar el pico de temperatura.

Plants must mix gametes from different individuals to reproduce sexually, like animals, but unlike animals, plants cannot move to find mates. Many have come to rely on animals to spread pollen for the...

Habitat loss can disrupt mutualistic interactions that sustain biodiversity. This study shows that larger habitat islands support more persistent plant-frugivore and plant-pollinator assemblages, link...

Analyses of the relationship between taxon richness and multi-trophic ecosystem functioning across marine, lake, stream and soil ecosystems show that food web complexity underlies biodiversity effects...

If reviewers can’t reliably tell the difference between top grant proposals, why should they pretend they can? A new wave of funders is turning to lotteries to break the tie.

We compiled the first checklist of wild bees in Doñana Protected Area, documenting 385 species, including three vulnerable and one endangered species listed in the Red List. Bee species exhibit dive...

We varied the benefits and costs of flower mimics and models (rewardless flowers and rewarding flowers, respectively) and investigated how bees responded.

Insects are increasingly pressured by climate change. Here the authors compile global evidence of range shifts in butterflies and call for more co-ordinated efforts in documenting such trends across c...

As bees’ primary source of protein and lipids, pollen is a nutritional resource key to the persistence of wild populations. Because bee taxa may differ in their pollen macronutrient requirements, and ...

Dispersal—movement potentially leading to gene flow—is a fundamental ecological process yet notoriously difficult to measure. For solitary bees in particular, determining the spatial scale of dispersa...

This course provides a practical introduction to modern methods of evidence synthesis, with a focus on systematic review and meta-analysis in ecology and evolution.

Pollinator research is increasingly framed around ecosystem services and economic value, reflecting the growing dominance of neoliberal logic in conservation science. Pollinator researchers identify...

Grooming by pollen vectors and the positioning of floral reproductive organs jointly influence pollen transfer by shaping where pollen grains are depo…

Reliance on artificial-intelligence tools degrades the abilities of physicians and software engineers, studies show.

Biogeography and ecology have long developed in parallel. This Essay explores how new data on species interactions across large scales now allow their integration, opening fresh insights into how biod...
