Native trees are responsible for the high carbon density in urban natural area forests across eight United States cities 🌲
More monitoring & increased management activities may be crucial to maintaining the high carbon storage of these ecosystems 📊

🐝🌸 @NutriB2 (#BiodivHealth) finds that larger bees benefit from less intensive land use, while specialised feeders thrive in heterogeneous landscapes. Effective conservation requires detailed knowledge of pollinator resources👇
Paper alert!
Landscape heterogeneity correlates with bee and pollen diversity while size and specialization degree explain species-specific responses of wild bees to the environment.

Temperate alley-cropping agroforestry improves pest control potential by promoting spider abundance & functional diversity
Suggests that alley-cropping agroforestry may be an important management strategy to develop more sustainable agricultural systems

New paper – We found that the novel pesticide Sivanto (flupyradifurone) had a lethal impact on solitary bees at label rates. 100% of bees died within 3 days of pesticide exposure. Zero died in the control. Thread below

We organised a small workshop for lead scientists from the HUN-REN Centre for Ecological Research to develop a strategy for the implementation of the EU Nature Restoration Law in Hungary.#Restorenature

New paper out in PNAS. We show how trait differences between native and introduced plants shift the functional composition of plant communities across the United States. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24…

Amazing days at the #SCCS2024 at Lake Balaton 🦋🌊Thanks again to the organizers and participants! @deepa_sena @Pensoft
The Student Conference on Conservation Science (#SCCS2024) 🇭🇺 continues!
Yesterday, Safeguard partner @CostanzaGeppert (@UniPadova) led an insightful workshop on the perspectives on #biodiversity conservation priorities with a focus on #pollinators 🐝

Weak effects of local weather variables on flight activity, altitude & speed of Red Kites within their breeding area, & other unknown factors, make it difficult to develop a model for a suitable shutdown regime for wind turbines to protect from collisions

This paper redescribes the crab spider species Xysticus lendli based on new specimens, introducing a female for the first time, and proposing its reclassification to the genus Spiracme.

Making #WildPollinator research accessible 🐝
🔔The first graphical abstract of the #SafeguardSummaries collection is out!
💡 It reveals the trait-based patterns of plant invasions on floral resources & pollinators. Read it here 👉 safeguard.biozentrum.uni-wue…

Supportive effect of uncut refuge strips on grassland arthropods may depend on the amount and width of strips 🌱
Encourages all practitioners to leave some refuge strips for arthropods in fields 🦗

A new method for identifying & supporting key pollinators on smallholder farms! 🐝
Shows the increased vulnerability of pollination services when smallholders specialize on cash crops and provides solutions for mitigating this risk 🌾

1/3 to 2/3 of crop systems studied worldwide would produce higher yield if they had more pollinators (ie, suffer from pollinator limitation). Just published by lab postdoc Katie Turo in Nature Ecology & Evolution - read it here rdcu.be/dMB0x

Yesterday, over 60,000 people marched to Parliament demanding immediate action to #RestoreNatureNow! 🌍
This massive turnout highlights the urgent need for stronger political action to tackle the nature and climate crisis.

Fascinating presentation by Péter on villages, villagers and biodiversity in the Carpathian Basin. I suspect the situation maybe different at least in northern and central Europe, where both villages and villagers are becoming more urbanized.

Enjoyed starting a YouTube channel describing concepts in conservation. Have ideas for future videos but welcome suggestions of something interesting that illustrates a general issue. Also welcome ideas for getting this known by those who would benefit.
