Excited to announce our new paper in Journal of Applied Ecology! @jappliedecology.bsky.social 'Heathland pollinator communities are more strongly influenced by land management than by honey bee competition' 🐝🐑🪰 Open access 👉 tinyurl.com/heathlandpol... #scotland #pollinators #ecology

🌼Our new paper is out in Biological Journal of the Linnean Society! 🐝We investigate how invasive plants affect nectar available to pollinators through time. 🌳Invasive Eucalypts can fill seasonal resource gaps in Fynbos habitats, increasing stability of nectar. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/biol...

A mosaic of habitats and invasive flowering plants contribute to temporal stability of nectar for pollinators

Abstract. Floral nectar availability varies seasonally, creating potential hunger gaps or deficits for nectar-feeding species. Invasive flowering plants ma

A brief break from thesis writing... to spend time with brilliant undergrads in the mountains, studying alpine plant-insect interactions! Great new field course organized by @chrisleduck.bsky.social and @englishse.bsky.social, thank you ⛰️🌼🪻🦟

Amazing new work by @willleohawkes.bsky.social on global fly migrations, congrats! Flies are a hugely important and under-appreciated group, let's give them more coverage.🪰❤️

I thought Jamie Lornier's talk about the politics of perception of 'mess' in nature was fantastic. #BES2024 #rewilding

I joined BlueSky yesterday, following other wonderful ecologists I've met at #BES2024! Looking forward to finding more of you here 🌍

Excellent talk by @maisiebrett.bsky.social at #BES2024 assessing competition between honeybees & wild pollinators in Scottish heaths. Apiaries have a stronger effect on pollination networks at ‘regenerating’ sites cf ‘muirburn’ sites where sheep impact on Vaccinium spp. floral provision.
