The online journal #NatureConservation just announced a new pollinator-focused collection, which addresses the accelerating decline of insect pollinators and the urgent need for comprehensive extinction risk assessments:

Pensoft@pensoft.net · 2mo ago

🐝 New topical collection now open in Nature Conservation: IUCN Red List assessments, spatial metrics & #conservation strategies for #insect #pollinators. Understudied regions & Data Deficient species especially welcome. Led by @muzafar-riyaz.bsky.social 🔗 natureconservation.pensoft.net/news/1265

Both climate change and biodiversity loss are intertwined crises with severe consequences for people and nature. seedling On this #EnvironmentDay and every day, we remember the essential role of biodiversity in effective climate action.

🐝 Have you already tried The Biodiversity Forecasting Challenge? Combine the data on temperature, location, humidity, and species characteristics with your own intuition and see how the forecasting is actually happening! 🔗No installation needed, just the link: pollinators-antenna.eu/forecasting

🤔 Can you beat AI in predicting insect populations around the world? Take our challenge! The choice of strategy is yours: you can use the trends shown in our interactive challenge, or you can guess randomly. 🔗 Try it here: pollinators-antenna.eu/forecasting

10 days to go until #BiodiversityDay 2026!🌿 A global moment to celebrate biodiversity and the actions helping protect life on Earth 🌍 Be part of the celebration for nature 💚 🔗 cbd.int/biodiversity... #LocalAction #ForNature #UNBiodiversity #IDB2026

🐝 The @restpoll.bsky.social consortium brings together expertise of #natural & #social #scientists, as well as #NGOs, businesses & ministries to provide society with tools to reverse wild #insect #pollinator declines. 🔓 Grant Proposal: doi.org/10.3897/rio.... 📸 Relationships among work packages.

🔬 How does ANTENNA advance pollinator biodiversity monitoring? A recent seminar tackles the uncertainty in pollinator trends by providing insights from monitoring, modelling, and prediction. Watch the recording here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=peEW... #biodiversity #monitoring #PollinatorResearch

🐝 The Biodiversity Forecasting Challenge is an experiment to understand how well machine learning models compare to human intuition. Discover the perks of predicting insect population trends yourself. No need for previous expertise to try it out! 👉 pollinators-antenna.eu/forecasting

🦋 Do you think you can read nature's patterns better than an AI? We just released an interactive challenge that puts human intuition to the test. 🔗 No expertise required, and anyone is invited to participate! Try ANTENNA's Biodiversity Forecasting Challenge here: pollinators-antenna.eu/forecasting

🌸How do non-native #pollinators change pollinating networks? 🐝By analyzing 2,100+ records in Chile, researchers found that non-native bees (like 𝘉. 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘴) are shifting #pollination networks toward less specialized homogenized structures, with 𝘉. 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘴 dominating 73% of the interactions.

Biological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss. Invasive pollinators can reshape native plant-pollinator networks. This study, taking Chile as an example, is divided into two parts. Firs...

🇪🇺 ANTENNA is on the move! Our project materials have been crossing borders - landing in Freiburg, Turin, Brussels and Lund alongside pollinator projects @agri4pol.eu, @safeguard-pollinators.eu, @wildposh.eu and @pollinera-horizon.eu.

🔎 In this final post, part of the #ANTENNAexpertise campaign, we are sharing a paper that delves into how the future distributions of 48 European bumblebee species are strongly affected by both climate change and land use change. Discover the paper here: doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

💡 A study assessed how climate change and landscape structure affect wild bee communities. Results show that rising temperatures reduce bee species richness, but maintaining a high proportion of semi-natural habitats can mitigate these negative effects. 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/1365... #ANTENNAexpertise

🐝 Pollinators are essential for crops and wild plants, yet data on their declines are limited and biased. Coordinated research infrastructures are key to monitoring trends and supporting pollinator conservation in agroecosystems. Read on the topic here: doi.org/10.1088/1748... #ANTENNAexpertise

🐝🦇 🐦In light of the numerous threats to #pollinator health, we are launching Advances in Pollinator Research - @apr.pensoft.net, a diamond #OpenAccess #journal that brings together diverse pollinator #science efforts. The journal will be powered by @arphahub.com 👇Read more about it on our blog:

🏛️ Museum specimens reveal long-term changes in pollinators, from species distributions to interactions, yet data remains scarce for most species. Case studies from New Zealand and Spain show how historical collections can help assess global declines. 🔗 doi.org/10.1098/rstb... #ANTENNAexpertise
