Pollinators matter for human health!🐝 Our new @nature.com paper traces links from wild pollinators>crops>nutrient intake & income of families in rural Nepal—showing how pollinator declines threaten health & livelihoods, but also how farmers can help manage these risks doi.org/10.1038/s415...

📢Exciting job opportunity at the Univ. of Bristol! Coordinating our new project on pollinator conservation & management in Nepal, led by Jane Memmott 🐝Suitable for any pollination, agroecology or sustainable development researchers/practitioners : www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DPJ228/r...

A fascinating paper with important implications for pollinator conservation 🪰

Thijs Fijen@thijsfijen.bsky.social · 10mo ago

We need much more semi-natural habitat (6-37%, depending on species group) in agricultural landscapes to effectively conserve pollinators. Large collaborative synthesis study looking at 59 studies in 1250 landscapes from 19 countries now published in Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Despite being among the most extensively studied bees worldwide, we are only at the dawn of understanding the intricate universe of bumblebees. Excellent overview of bumblebees from @LChittka et al in Current biology www.cell.com/current-biol...

Bumblebees

Ghisbain et al. give an overview of the behavior, biogeography, conservation, ecology and evolution of bumblebees.
