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...

By downscaling pollen-transport networks from species to individuals, we found that pollinators interacted with fewer plant species than expected under random sampling, indicating high individual spe...

Flowers that are attractive and occupy a complementary position in interaction space could be prioritized in flower mixes to recover rare and specialized pollinators. By defining the ecological roles...

The effects of temperature on metabolic rates are a core component of ecological change, with surprisingly regular effects across diverse ecological systems. Metabolic scaling theories can provide qua...

New Nature Communication publications sheds light on how ecological, evolutionary, and geographical processes can simultaneously shape species’ vulnerability to extinction.

Land use intensification is a major driver of biodiversity change and ecosystem functioning. Here the authors identify thresholds of grassland plant community structure and stability in response to la...

Motivation Pollinators play a crucial role in maintaining Earth's terrestrial biodiversity. However, rapid human-induced environmental changes are compromising the long-term persistence of plant-pol...

SCAPE is my favourite annual conference by a long margin: small, friendly, welcoming (especially for Master’s and PhD students, and postdocs), and packed full of great science.  It’s th…

Nature Ecology & Evolution - A meta-analysis finds that decreasing diversity of pollinator species has a negative affect on multiple measures of plant reproductive success, with wild plant...

Several existing and proposed international legal agreements include an “access and benefit-sharing” (ABS) mechanism that attaches obligations to the use of genetic sequence data. These agreements are...

Functional traits are increasingly being used as a tractable framework for understanding bee community ecology and responses to environmental change. Here, we outline best practices for trait measure....
