Congratulations to Laura Pajot, PhD candidate in #PaleoecologyGroup, at @ibb-botanic.bsky.social, for the prize Fairon-Demaret to the best poster at Agora Palebotanica (Paris, France).
Title: Cretaceous–Paleogene angiosperm woodiness

🔴La convocatoria “Consolidación Investigadora” de este año vuelve a sufrir un recorte
📉Es un 50% menos que 2024, que a su vez ya fue recortada otro 50% respecto a 2023
👉¿Consecuencia? Aún más problemas para la estabilización @cienciagob.bsky.social @ageinves.bsky.social @dianamorantr.bsky.social

some recent changes for #Systematic_Entomology @royentsoc.bsky.social !

We welcome new people on our board of EiCs ( #Ligia_Benavides, #Christopher_Owen and #Emmanuel_Toussaint) and expand our scope to include most non-terrestrial arthropods 🕷️

Pequeña mosca de rayas amarillas y marrón oscuras sobre una florecita de color rosa

Minúscula hembra de Sphaerophoria scripta (~7 mm) comiendo granos de polen en una flor de Petrorhagia nanteuilii (Caryophyllaceae). En su vida anterior como larva se buscó la vida devorando pulgones entre las hierbas. Ahora en su vida adulta sigue ayudando a las plantas, pero ahora como polinizador

Tip si estás buscando un #postdoc por Europa: Hace poco salieron los últimos resultados de las #ERC Advanced: erc.europa.eu/sites/defaul... así que si estáis buscando grupos que puedan tener bastante financiación ahora, potencialmente ahí están ;) Yo conseguí mi 1er postdoc así hace 10 años.

A new study shows how garden flowers keep city pollinators flying all year round When we think of cities, gardens might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But these green patches — whether in private yards, parks, or balconies — play a surprisingly important role in sup…

In a new study just published, I teamed up with some Brazilian colleagues to explore how the different features of garden flowers help sustain #pollinators throughout the year in a subtropical urban garden.

📢 Defensa de tesi doctoral

🔬 Aquest dimecres Constanza Peña Kairath presenta la seva recerca sobre la pol·linització en el Cretaci, analitzant evidències en ambre de fa milions d’anys!

Si t’interessen els fòssils i la relació insecte-planta al llarg de l’evolució, aquesta defensa és per a tu!

Mañana seré investido Doctor Honoris Causa por la Univ Jaén. El acto se retransmitirá por streaming www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4lo...

En mi discurso desarrollaré la idea de que la primera víctima de los cambios ecológicos globales fue la ciencia ecológica misma. Haré diagnóstico y también propuestas.

Excited to see this out!! In this thought-provoking review led by @davidperis.bsky.social and Ricardo Pérez-de la Fuente we further demonstrate that insect #pollination was once widespread among #gymnosperms and existed long before the origin of #angiosperms

Evolutionary implications of a deep-time perspective on insect pollination – a new review just published When we think of pollination, we often picture bees buzzing around flowers or butterflies flitting from bloom to bloom. This relationship between plants and pollinators is one of the most well-know…

In a review led by Spanish researchers David Peris and Ricardo Pérez-de la Fuente, we explored why a deep time perspective on insect pollination is relevant to our current understanding of plant-pollinator relationships. Read more here:
