How does forest management change the hidden world in which forest pollinators spend most of their lives? This is studied in ProPollSoil project. The 3rd video in #ForestStation elaborates links of @butterfly-project.bsky.social pollinator stewardship and forest management practices. #HorizonEurope

🧵1/5 #ForestStation 3/3: 🎥from campus to forest @jagiellonskiuni.bsky.social @ioes-ju.bsky.social 🌲 Can a forest look green and healthy, yet fail to provide pollinator larvae with the nutrients they need? This time, we’re taking a closer look at what the ProPollSoil project has been up to😄.

🧵1/4 #ForestStation 2/3: 🎥The beetle worth hearing Plagionotus detritus produces a striking creaking sound when threatened. Its black-and-yellow colouring adds a second defence by resembling a hornet. But the deeper lesson lies in its life cycle. @jagiellonskiuni.bsky.social @ioes-ju.bsky.social

In the second video of our “Voices of BUTTERFLY” series, meet Seyed-Ali Hosseini-Yekani🦋. Ali is an agricultural economist. He simulates the macroeconomic effects of pollinator decline to help decision-makers and politicians anticipate and counteract these effects.

Happy that our #NSF-funded research on the temporal stability of wild #bees' pollen nutrition is now published! Basic funding into what bees need is so important and feeling imperiled lately. Open access article: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

As bees’ primary source of protein and lipids, pollen is a nutritional resource key to the persistence of wild populations. Because bee taxa may differ in their pollen macronutrient requirements, and ...

Fossil fuel propaganda said “more CO2 benefits plants”. Indeed plant biomass is increasingly globally. But plants are made up of more than just carbon. Other plant nutrients, all essential, are being diluted by all that extra atmospheric carbon. #GreenDeserts www.newscientist.com/article/2531...

A promising natural technique to remove CO2 could backfire

Several start-ups have tried to grow seaweed to remove atmospheric CO2, but this could affect the levels of nutrients in the ocean and hamper other CO2-sucking processes

A nice summary of why ecological #stoichiometry is fundamental 🧪🌐

Growing kelp might not be a viable CO₂ removal technique.

Looking for a gentle but thought-provoking weekend read for #PollinatorWeek? Our first Butterfly Newsletter is here - an accessible journey into pollinator stewardship! Read slowly. Look closely. Let something stay wild🐛🦋⬇️ butterfly-europe.eu/news/newslet...

Pollination is embedded in supply chains that most people never think of. Flowering plants that depend on pollinators underpin European industries such as medicinal plants, food supplements, biomass energy crops, biomaterials, textiles, fodder, cosmetics, decoration, art, culture, and tourism

🧵1/3 It’s #PollinatorWeek 🐝🦋 A moment to celebrate pollinators, and to ask whether our policies truly give them a chance to recover. Our new joint White Paper argues that pollinator restoration needs coherent action across sectors. Read the preprint: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... #Pollinators
