🌸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.

Silent takeover: How invasive bees reshaped plant-pollinator interactions in a biodiversity hotspot

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...

Toronto is covered with road salt right now, which will eventually end up in the city's waterways, where it disrupts ecosystems. To get an idea of how much we're talking, I got salt figures from the city going back to the 80s: nearly 5 million tonnes. For @nationalobserver.com
