Save the bees! 🐝
Check out this tool to see how the bees are doing in your area! Follow up with monitoring, conservation and/or restoration! 🌼
This was a fun project - made even better by great collaborators!! @CornellBirds @AtkinsonCenter

What can the birds tell us about the bees? 🐝
A new publicly available Wild Bee Diversity Prediction Tool developed by Cornell Atkinson + @CornellBirds uses @Team_eBird data to track and estimate the diversity of wild bees across 25+ states🧵
ℹ️ news.cornell.edu/stories/202…
The tool is based on the results of this publication: journals.plos.org/plosone/ar…

Great preprint discussing the effects of the 2023 forest fires in Quebec, along with recommendations for mitigating future consequences of wildfires 🔥🌲

Combining bird and land cover data surpasses traditional indicators in predicting wild bee richness, potentially guiding conservation efforts until more bee data becomes available!

Great working with

Awesome work by @caitlinv_miller of her master thesis - a neat example how #Genomics can inform #ornithology #conservation 👉 doi.org/10.1111/mec.17199 @birdgenoscape @CSU_Ecology @environmentca @ECCCWildlifeSci

We know there are lots of organizations tugging at your purse strings on #GivingTuesday, but here's a cool opportunity to directly support bander training in Brazil. Your contribution funds fellowships for students!

Much needed R package! 👏 Wished it existed 3 years ago when I started using bee data in research 🐝 💻
🚨New paper and R package thread🚨
I’m pleased to announce the culmination of 1.5 years of work trying to make occurrence data easier to reliably use!
The paper — rdcu.be/dp8JJ (+globally cleaned bee data)
The BeeBDC R package — jbdorey.github.io/BeeBDC/

The habitat fragmentation debate has become “locked in”. Time to for us all to move forward and provide consensus recommendations for policy makers (of course a Canadian would say that?) Bravely led by @JonathonValente link.springer.com/article/10…
🌿 To boost conservation and inform policy, let's advance our understanding of fragmentation's impact on biodiversity:
1. Scale considerations: Patch vs Landscape
2. Measurements: Habitat vs Land cover
3. Use competing hypotheses ...

Interesting paper by @MattBetts11 et al in @Ecol_Evol which makes us think about why we should (or should not) state multiple alternative hypotheses in ecology and evolution. Comes w/ an analysis of trends in litterature & useful definitions.

Peter Kaestner wants to be the first person in the world to see 10,000 species––and he only needs 144 more. I tagged along with him in Peru to find out what the quest––a lifelong pursuit––really takes. @outsidemagazine

“Study designs that can capture phenomena operating at multiple spatial extents offer the most promise for understanding the effects of fragmentation and its underlying mechanisms”. Well done @FletcherEcology for leading this paper. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
