Davant l’augment de les temperatures, conservar microclimes favorables pot marcar la diferència entre l’extinció local i la persistència d’una espècie. Hi ha grans solucions als mons petits que també ens beneficien els humans. ✍️ @jdiazcalafat.bsky.social, @uib.cat @culturacientifica.uib.cat

📢 New paper out in @oikosjournal.bsky.social ! We investigated how climate🌡️, forest structure🌲🌳 and flower resources🌼🌷 shape fly pollinator foraging in boreal forest understories 🪰🪰🪰 doi.org/10.1002/oik....

🌿 New paper alert! 📢 We used flower-based eDNA metabarcoding to uncover how forest structure and microclimate shape the diversity of flower-visiting arthropods in a Swedish boreal forest. #pollinators #eDNA 🧬🌼

🚨 New paper alert! Why do queen bumblebees seem to "wake up" on weekends? It turns out, they don’t. But we see them more on weekends, and that’s a problem for climate research. Here’s why. 👇🐝 📄 Díaz-Calafat & Luna-Santamaría (2025) doi.org/10.1007/s135...

La tortuga mediterránea (𝑇𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑑𝑜 𝘩𝑒𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑖) vive en el sur de Europa. La única población autóctona en España se encuentra en Cataluña, y a Menorca llegó hace unos 3000 años con el ser humano. 🟢 spain.inaturalist.org/observations... #observacióndelasemana 📸 por @jdiazcalafat.bsky.social

iLand is the first forest landscape model to explicitly simulate forest microclimate. Why? Because microclimate effects propagate across scales and influence important processes such as decomposition, regeneration and bark beetle development. Read more in Braziunas et al. doi.org/10.1007/s109...

After four years, I am finally done with my PhD thesis and it is now publicly available: res.slu.se/id/publ/130460 📕🤓🐝 In Sweden, once we reach this stage, we nail one copy of the thesis to the wall, where it'll stay for remembrance. Now three weeks to the public defence! 📆

📢New paper out! We explore the power of #CitizenScience in biodiversity research, comparing insect data from participatory platforms & academic projects in the Iberian Peninsula. Discover insights on biases and the benefits of integrating both data sources 🌍🦋📊 🔗 journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

Velvet ants (Mutillidae and Myrmosidae) are pretty cool creatures! Despite their name, they are actually wasps, and not ants. (Most) males are winged, and females do not have wings.
