Perspective paper exploring the value of common but underappreciated or disliked plants to pollinating insects with a focus on ivy, dandelion and bramble. Some suggestions are provided on how to reframe societal perceptions towards their ecological value. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pa…

New research finds weed species like ragwort and thistles can support a greater volume and variety of pollinators than many flowers recommended for pollinators like red clover and wild marjoram. @SussexUniPress @LasiBee @JAppliedEcology britishecologicalsociety.org/research-demon…
New data added - and they're mostly moth records! Many thanks to the authors for sharing @informed_enviro royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…
This is a very bad idea @MandSnews: - honey #bees are not as important as wild #pollinators such as bumblebees - honey bees compete with wild pollinators for nectar and pollen - this plan could negatively affect pollinator biodiversity - honey bees are not endangered!

Trend for 'tree glue': marketed as environmentally-friendly way to kill moths and ants is terrible. This stuff is horribly dangerous to #bats that get stuck to it. If you want natural pest control, encourage bats! m.facebook.com/story.php?stor… @TheMontyDon @DaveGoulson

CarniDIET 1.0 was published today! 'But, what is CarniDIET', you ask? Well, we collated quantitative data on the diet compositions of the world's carnivorous mammals using (mainly) peer-reviewed literature and made this open-access for others to use 💩🦁🦊 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ge…

I'm proud to be associated with the newly launched Database of Pollinator Interaction @The_DoPI, hope it proves to be a valuable free resource for scientists, conservationists, & all interested in pollinators & pollination dopi.org.uk @JeffOllerton
After a tremendous effort led by Nick Balfour, our Database of Pollinator Interactions @The_DoPI is now live dopi.org.uk. Thousands of records on British plant-pollinator interactions in a single location. With @DaveGoulson & support from @britishbee & @EvaCraneTrust
So pleased to have supported The Database of Pollinator Interactions (DoPI) which documents British pollinator-plant associations. dopi.org.uk @The_DoPI @DaveGoulson @CalaCastellanos @ProfAndyP @britishbee #bees #pollinators #habitats

Butterflies are important pollinators of lavender, Lavandula latifolia, in SE Iberian mountains. They can transfer pollen between flowers nearly as often as bees, and fly longer distances from flower to flower. Satyrus actaea probing a flower and detail of pollen-coated tongue

@BritishEcolSoc @The_DoPI @SussexUniPress @LasiBee @JAppliedEcology You tell ‘em!
Some insect pollinators, particularly bees, are very hot blooded. The working temperature of thoracic muscles of Anthophora dispar females usually ranges between 39-41ºC. The advantage of these hot engines is enhanced power output, but the price is a high energy demand
New research finds weed species like ragwort and thistles can support a greater volume and variety of pollinators than many flowers recommended for pollinators like red clover and wild marjoram. @SussexUniPress @LasiBee @JAppliedEcology britishecologicalsociety.org/research-demon…
So, after letting it sink in for a few days (and letting some celebration-induced headaches wear off) I’m ecstatic to say that I passed my viva last week! Thanks to @MGS_tweets and Wiebke Schuett for making the whole process an incredibly positive experience 🎉
This always shocks me. They had two unique taxa that had been evolving for millions of years & were critically endangered. Spent thousands on saving one, and casually wiped out the other. It's like rescuers saying "we'll give you the best care but we'll shoot your friend, OK?"
There was once a species of louse that lived only upon California condors. But when the birds were rounded up for captive breeding, they were treated for parasites—and the lice went extinct. How do you feel about this? Tragic, neutral, good? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colpoceph…
Rather one-sided, unhelpful and alarmist account of ragwort on farmland in @BBCRadio4 Farming today with @HillFT. Crucial for biodiversity - not all ragwort spp covered by the guidance. If you can’t cover a topic properly, suggest you don’t cover it at all.
Anyone thinking that Matt Ridley has a point in his critique of the #InsectApocalypse narrative might wish to reflect on the fact that this term, and #InsectArmageddon, were created by science journalists like himself, not by scientists. @DaveGoulson @ManuSaunders
Anthophora (Heliophila) fulvodimidiata is possibly the only Iberian species in its genus strictly associated with a narrow group of plants, the Carlina summer-flowering thistles. It lives up to the subgenus name, as its activity is centered on the hottest hours of summer days
