Intensifying grassland management leads to massive loss of arthropod species. However, total arthropod numbers remain more or less stable. Many losers, few winners. doi.org/10.1016/j.bi...

Spotless starling (Sturnus unicolor) released after being tagged with a GPS transmitter. We are studying the movements of these open-habitat frugivores to better understand their role as seed dispersers in anthropogenic landscapes.

#LANDSCAPERS

What does it take to restore highly degraded forests? Ana Otero Ruiz from the @univcadiz.bsky.social is investigating the interactions between plants and animals.
She'll explain her approach in her talk on 26.09. at 18:00 in the Pumpe.

Agathis robusta 🇦🇺. What a tree!! 😍

😅 Picconia azorica

Es increíble la cantidad de especies de plantas alóctonas que invaden las Islas Azores 😕. Sin embargo, mirlos y capirotes, persisten en la dispersión de numerosos endemismos, como este pariente lejano del acebuche - Piconia azorica 🫒🐦💩

El Teide arrastra veinte siglos de 'enfermedad' ecológica tras la desaparición del bosque de cedros ancestrales La deforestación aborigen ha provocado la pérdida progresiva de grandes dispersores de semillas, como el petirrojo o el mirlo, lo que ha llevado a varias especies endémicas al borde de la extinción

Necesitamos ecosistemas resilientes, capaces de recuperarse tras grandes perturbaciones

Paradójicamente, zorros y córvidos, ANIMALES DISPERSORES DE SEMILLAS que juegan un papel crucial en la revegetación de zonas degradadas, son objeto de "controles cinegéticos" completamente legales

Pollinator‐Promoting Interventions in European Urban Habitats—A Synthesis Syntheses of urban pollinator-friendly management are lacking, hindering policy implementation compared to farmland. Addressing this gap, our re-analytical data synthesis demonstrates the generally p...

New Europe-wide study finds that efforts to provide pollinator habitat in urban areas - such as sowing wildflower mixes - really do work, boosting numbers of bees and butterflies: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🌱 New paper out!
In Teide National Park (Tenerife), ~69% of seed dispersal interactions have been lost after centuries of human impact.🐦‍⬛🫐
But there’s hope: 90% of those interactions involve extant species, making ecological restoration an achievable long-term goal!

Pollinator benefits of small-scale landscapes depend also on semi-natural habitat 🐝🌏

Supports the need to restore and maintain semi-natural habitats and to enhance floral resources. This is especially effective in small-scale agricultural landscapes 🌻🧪

Enhorabuena!! 🕷️☺️

Water‐saving strategies in rice farming entail cascading effects in prey–predator interactions across ecosystem boundaries These results show that introducing multiple drainage periods in rice fields (i.e. AWD) indirectly hampers terrestrial spider reproduction through limiting the emergence of potential preys from the a...

🌾🕷️📝Very excited to share our last article published in @jappliedecology.bsky.social where we evaluate the cascading effects of water-saving irrigation on predator-prey interactions across the aquatic and terrestrial interface in rice agroecosystems besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Herbicides harm more than weeds! 🐝🧪

A new study suggests that they indirectly disrupt plant-pollinator networks, potentially risking pollination services 🌼🌏 @julitavella.bsky.social

La relación mutualista entre mirlos capiblancos y cedros canarios se forjó hace miles de años atrás en las altas cumbres del PN del Teide 🗻. A día de hoy es vestigial y frágil, pero dependiente para ambos. El uso de GPSs 🛰️ nos ha permitido descubrir sus secretos mejor guardados ⏬ 🌳🐦💧
