Great work by soon-to-be Dr Dewaele, who is paving the way for research into the effect of phthalates on pollinators! 🐝

When the World Stops Smelling Like Itself | Atmos Climate change is erasing the aromas of daily life. Farmers say the loss is already here—from Grenada’s cocoa to Egypt’s jasmine—and affecting relationships between all living things.

A wonderful article by Omnia Saed partly based on our work on atmospheric pollutants (funded by @kavlifoundation.org, @angiemicha.bsky.social, and NSF)

Our monograph (128 pages!) of the brood-pollinator #weevil genus #Derelomus is now out in @ejtaxonomy.bsky.social ! 😃 #OA

Huge revision work led by #Julien_Haran @cirad.bsky.social / @cbgpmontpellier.bsky.social with some #integrative_taxonomy approaches to help clarifying some species complexes!

📢NEW PAPER OUT! We investigated the short-term impact of exposure to field-realistic doses of phthalates DnBP and DEHP on the survival of Bombus terrestris workers 🐝

🪻Lavenders are small shrubs that grow naturally in dry or arid environments, often at altitude (up to 1800 m).

They cover around 40 wild species a few spontaneous hybrids and two species cultivated on a large scale for their essential oils.

Excited to share the first article from the #Ecotron 's #Mesocosms platform! 🎉 Based on a 4+ year experiment manipulating soil macrofauna diversity in large #lysimeters under #drought. #Macrofauna matters!

Huge thanks to @UFZ_de & @CEFE_CNRS. More coming soon!

Disability in ecology and evolution In this TrendsTalk series 'Disability in ecology and evolution' in Trends in Ecology and Evolution, we will be hearing from people about their experiences being disabled in ecology and evolution. We are asking ecologists and evolutionary biologists with disabilities what the community could do to make our field more inclusive – these changes can be very practical things (e.g., large fonts), they could be institutional, or involve people’s attitudes and beliefs. If you identify as disabled or have a chronic condition and would like to share your thoughts, please get in touch – tree@cell.com, we would love to hear from you.
