ARC has published (inadvertently?) how many Future Fellowships & DECRAs they’ll fund (FT26 & DE27). Even though outcomes aren't out yet, these numbers & success rates are here ▶️ www.arc.gov.au/ncgp-trends-... 299 FT26s & 455 DE27s "funded". Success rate of 20% for both schemes.

☀️ Climate change is impacting plant nutrition 🌱 , and the knock on effects are likely effecting bees, especially if they are solitary. 🐝 Led by Brooke Zanco, read our new opinion piece 🌸 @sarahdiamond.bsky.social @fleurponton.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Interview with Sydney Community Radio 2SER this morning on how climate change is impacting native bees 🎤 🐝 🔥 Check it out 🌸 www.2ser.com/how-are-bees...

Check out our article on how native bees evolve tolerance to heat which influences their vulnerability to climate change.

Surprisingly, the species that are the most tolerant to heat are also the most vulnerable to future warming.

🔥 Hot off the press 🔥 Who can take the heat? 🐝 Published in Nature Communications we show that native bees can evolve greater tolerance to heat. But how heat tolerance evolves depends on the different nesting behaviours bees have. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Climatic variability drives greater thermal tolerance breadth and enables larger range size in butterflies

Abstract. Although climatic variability has been proposed to shape physiological tolerances, and in turn, species distributions, relatively few studies hav

🌼🌡️ 🐝 Thermal conditions can directly reshape species interaction networks under climate change. ⬇️ In this invited short piece, I discuss how temperature-driven shifts in pollinators’ foraging choices, revealed by a new study, can cascade through entire plant–pollinator networks.

Journal of Animal Ecology@animalecology.bsky.social · 10mo ago

🌷New Research highlight showcases Arrowsmith et al. (2025), which shows that temperature alone can shift pollinators’ floral choices in diverse plant–pollinator communities. Such thermally-driven species interaction rewiring may have important consequences. ➡️ buff.ly/i5QrFjd @blancaac.bsky.social
