Inspired Yoda’s look, the tarsier did. 🌌 This #StarWarsDay, let's remember that even the galaxy’s most iconic figures have roots in Earth’s biodiversity. IPBES science shows nature’s health is the force binding all life together. To ignore the evidence, unwise it is. 🌍✨ #MayThe4thBeWithYou
Photo of a tarsier clinging to a tree branch at night, with large round brown eyes and grey-brown fur. Dark background with blurred green foliage. IPBES logo (Science and Policy for People and Nature) in top left corner. Text in white and grey bold capitals reads: "PROTECT BIODIVERSITY, WE MUST. STRONG WITH NATURE, THE FUTURE IS."

New paper alert 🐝 led by @eockinger.bsky.social, we show that road verges are habitat for many bee and butterfly species, but not for all - ecological traits and local habitat conditions can act as filter determining which species are absent 🦋 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Trait and habitat filters shape absences of wild bee and butterfly species from road verges
Road verges can provide resources for pollinating insects, but it remains unclear if these resources are accessible to all species, or if some ecologi…

It’s spring 🌞🐝 This spring mining bee was so busy digging her nest in the ground that it didn’t mind me at all, and neither the little wasp

Today, our article "The entities enabling scientific fraud at scale are large, resilient, and growing rapidly" is finally published in PNAS. I hope that it proves to be a wake-up-call for the whole scientific community. reeserichardson.blog/2025/08/04/a...

Der Europäische Meeres-, Fischerei- und Aquakulturfonds hat heute den Entwurf eines Kormoran-„Managementplans“ veröffentlicht. Das Ziel? Eine europaweite Tötung von Kormoranen durch Abschuss und das Einölen von Eiern. Teil den Beitrag, um zu zeigen, wer wirklich Schuld an der Überfischung ist.

From Sweden to Switzerland 🇨🇭 - I am a PostDoc at Agroscope in Zürich now! 🗻 Happy to continue working with wild pollinators 🐝, but now more in an agricultural context in the new Agri4Pol project @agri4pol.eu

Maybe it is a long shot but thought I could try out the power of this platform: I am looking for a botanist with knowledge of flora/plant ecology of the Miombo woodland ecoregion, particularly trees! 🌳🌍 If so, drop me a comment or DM! 😊

🌸 Flower-rich road verges can increase the abundance of flower-visiting insects in the surrounding landscape! 🌸 Read it to learn about the role of traffic 🚗 and how we used 🍓 in our study. Check it out here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... with @eockinger.bsky.social

Flower-rich road verges increase abundance of flower visitors in the surrounding landscape
Flower-visiting insects and the plants that depend on them are declining due to habitat loss and deterioration. Road verges, which often provide abund…

A wonderful article about my PhD project 🐝🦋🌸 did you know that roadside habitats can harbour many flowers and support wild bees and butterflies? But high traffic can be problem 🚗 #pollinators #bees #butterflies
