Basque and Bermuda bees | PhD candidate #BC3research • @sarelab.bsky.social | conservation, systematics, diversity | 🐝🍄
Sometimes you've gotta go metallic to mimic your model! This common tropical hover #fly at the top is a convincing mimic of the local orchid #bees in the genus #Euglossa (bottom). #FlySchool2026 #Syrphidae: #Ornidia obesa Soltis Center, Costa Rica
Amazing week of diving deeper into bee taxonomy and experiencing nice Dutch weather 🌸
Anthidium septemspinosum, one of my favorite Basque species 🖤

Home from a beautiful week in Asturias for the forma iberica Dead Wood Course, always something new to learn! 🥵 Stimulating time talking about fungi, saproxylic insects and everything in between.
What a Monday! 🐝 Excited to share two new papers on pollinators: 1️⃣ Exploring the wild bees of the Canary Islands in @Zootaxa. 🔗 doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5802.2.3 2️⃣ High bee nutritional standards but low flexibility in modern agro-ecosystems in Ecological Entomology 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/een.70096

It's currently flowering season for Armeria euscadiensis, an endemic plant found only along the Basque coast (euskal itsas krabelina in #Euskara). A few pollinators were enjoying the view as well. 🌿
Most surprising find @ bee aggregation '26 were lots of thick-headed #flies emerging! They're parasitoids of adult bees, grabbing them mid-air to inject eggs into the abdomen. Eww but cool! (I guess not if you're a bee 😂) Here's one on a flower: flic.kr/p/2ocMhfV #Conopidae: #Zodion NC, USA
Entering my fourth season of #Basque bees 🐝💛.
SARE Lab@sarelab.bsky.social · 4mo agoThis week we began our first round of #fieldwork for the season, keeping busy with #plant-pollinator interaction surveys, #flower marking, #biomass collection and more 🌿🐝. Teamed up with new and returning members, we are ready to tackle yet another year in #Gorbeia Natural Park 💪.
How many 🍄🍄🍄 species in Bermuda? At least 185 (and counting...).
This January, we welcomed back mycologist Dr. Lawrence Millman, an Associate of the Harvard Herbarium, for field trips across Cooper's Island and Southlands, alongside BAMZ Natural History Curator...

Undergrad and graduate students! Could your work benefit from visiting one of the NHMLAC’s collections? Apply for our Collections Study Award, due Apr. 1. I’d love to have students make use of our Entomology collection! Details here: tinyurl.com/bdduefsy
So, what could these be? 😅 This Anthophora was covered in them.. (collected in Donostia).
Fascinating fasciation season is here 🌼🙏 The same patch by my house never fails with an assorted mix of oddities each spring.

Hoy publicamos la primera cita para España del sírfido Anasimyia contracta, a partir de un ejemplar conservado en la Colección Entomológica @universidadoviedo.bsky.social. Con Pablo Aguado @entomoprofessor.bsky.social y @erebiologa.bsky.social www.entomologica.es/publicacione...
Si te equivocas de entrada puede que visites la casa de una Donacosa merlini (Lycosidae). Un hembra de Eucera rufa (Apidae) es arrastrada bajo la atenta mirada de 3 machos que no entienden nada y que a pasar de sus esfuerzos no pudieron salvarla. 🐝💔🕷️ Laguna del Ojillo (RBD) @ebdonana.bsky.social
New Basque children’s book, where the star is a Megachile 😍🌿🐝 | Malen Intsektuen Munduan, a story about pollination and the different pollinators here in the Basque Country 🌸
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of joining "the Bee’s Knees" podcast, where we talked about our latest research on honeybees and what it means for wild pollinators. 🎙️🐝 You can listen to the episode here: thebeesknees.website/wild-pollina...
Pollination Overload: Why More Honey Bees Don't Always Mean Better Crops (Ep. 67) - The Bee's Knees
Can having too many honeybee hives in our landscapes be detrimental? Dr. Ainhoa Magrach led a comprehensive review that brings fresh clarity to a long-standing question: how does the number of honeybee hives in a landscape affect wild pollinators, plant reproduction, and ecosystem health? We explore how the overuse of managed honeybees can sometimes undermine biodiversity and agricultural productivity and discuss sustainable practices that can make a difference.
