Exciting opportunity connecting biodiversity, agriculture, and human health 🌍

On NSF’s postdoc page, the biology and earth science fields have been completely eliminated; the only remaining fellowships are in math, astronomy, engineering, and “entrepreneurship.” Weird choice not to support research on the life support system for 8 billion people. www.nsf.gov/funding/post...

Important step towards more sustainable agriculture: Supporting natural enemies through simple measures like flower strips can reduce pesticide use, without sacrificing yield. #LIBresearch

Amazing study 'some flower strips were as effective as pesticides' in reducing aphid damage in sugar beet

Auf deutsch: Blühstreifen können ähnlich gut wie Pestizide wirken.

Why are insects declining — and what can we do about it? A new review synthesises current evidence: habitat loss, land-use change, climate change and pollutants are key drivers reshaping insect communities worldwide. #LIBresearch © Scherber et al., CC BY 4.0 @cscherber.bsky.social 1/2

What helps pollinators cope with human pressures? Supporting flower diversity in agricultural landscapes can benefit both pollinators and food production. #LIBresearch © Adobe Stock, JuergenL 1/3

A new study shows that pesticides can harm bee pollination — but that diverse flowering plants can reduce these negative effects. In contrast, realistic levels of microplastics had no detectable impact on pollination or crop yield. @cscherber.bsky.social 2/3

Great opportunity for students interested in pollinators, fieldwork and applied biodiversity research — feel free to share! 🌼🐝

Welcome to BES2025! 💫  Today, we are so excited to welcome ecologists from 58 countries, encouraging innovative research and practice in ecology.  We have exciting talks and sessions ahead in the next days from agriculture, human's place in nature, AI to green finance and much more.

Nun ist es wohl offiziell, der Grünlandschmetterlings-Indikator wird nicht verpflichtend in die Nationale Wiederherstellungsverordnung in Deutschland aufgenommen. 😔🦋
