Charles Sutherland Scholarship Fund - genetic diversity of bumblebee
Biologists and conservationists have long been interested in the study of island populations which may face genetic bottlenecks due to predicted smaller population sizes and barriers to gene flow. Thi...
I was fortunate to be supported by the Charles Sutherland Scholarship to conduct field sampling this summer for an ongoing project on the genetic structure of the cryptic bumblebee Bombus cryptarum. This work was featured in todayβs @uniofaberdeen.bsky.social SBS blog: www.abdn.ac.uk/sbs/blog/cha...

Figure from a paper - legend: Figure 2. Measuring changes in insect biodiversity can be achieved by focusing on drivers that directly or indirectly impact insect biodiversity metrics and trends (left). Where data on insect populations specifically are unavailable, data from other species and ecological processes can provide inferential support for changes in insect biodiversity (right).
Our new paper led by @manusaunders.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... takes stock of the evidence-base for global insect declines π¦ππͺ³πͺ°π¦ and how uncertainty is being leveraged by science denialists to undermine efforts to reverse biodiversity loss ππ§ͺ.

How to Make a Pollinator Garden
Gardens provide important food and shelter for pollinators. We've put together a list of tips that will help you prioritize the health and safety of these important garden inhabitants.
For #PollinatorWeek, weβve put together all the information youβll need to make your own pollinator garden into one place. Learn how to pick the right plants, manage issues without pesticides, and provide the nesting habitat that bees & butterflies need to thrive! π»ππ
