Great talk by Lisa Prudnikow at #BES Annual Meeting

Reproductive success of mason bees is higher at orchard edges, while management and landscape factors seem to have little effect so far 🍎

Next up: cascading effects of pollen diet and gut microbiome!

Calcareous grassland #restoration 🐦👩‍🌾🐝
Presenting InterRest results at #BES Annual Meeting

Impressive to see what we’ve achieved: linking habitat quality, agricultural landscapes, pollinators, birds, predation functions and people in grassland restoration.

Thanks to the great InterRest team 💚

In agricultural landscapes, spontaneous grass margins can serve as refuges for spider species that cannot tolerate crop field conditions and that possess unique morphological or behavioral traits.

📣 New Publication!

Biodiversity supports functions that drive ecosystem services and disservices. Measuring these functions is key to evaluating conservation strategies and land use change.

We present methods to quantify ecosystem functions using the sentinel approach:
