Amazing coronal mass ejections associated with the aurorae observed on 11/11/2025 at latitudes as low as southern Spain. Video taken by SOHO satellite (sun is covered by the central circle). 😮

In this study led by Carlos Herrera @cmhmaliani.bsky.social, we describe three new species of Andrena. The intensive survey over 27 years at the Cazorla range demonstrates the importance of this genus in the pollination of the flowering plant species in this area.

I couldn't be happier about my recently published paper in Annals of Botany!! I demonstrate the importance of 'Usia' beeflies in the pollination success between morphs of the distylous 'Linum narbonense'.
This post by @annbot.bsky.social l is an incredibly accurate summary.

Springer Nature journals failed to assign references correctly in many articles, incorrectly linking to the first article of the volume, thus misleading citation statis.
Researchers pay up to €10,000 to publish in these journals, often public money. Reviewers do not charge

The decline of taxonomists is truly worrying. Perhaps, the capitalist vortex created by impact factors and publishing mafias, with the support of institutions to finance projects that comply with their standards, has something to do with it. It's just an opinion...

Israel kills 65,000 Palestinians, of whom ~18,430 are CHILDREN!!
Europe's reaction so far has been to consider eliminating Israel from participating in a song contest.
Shame on us, and deepest sadness and disgust.

No pidas perdón. En España hay mas de 1.100 especies de abejas y la gran mayoría son solitarias. Solitarias por que no hay castas, solo una hembra que es copulada por un macho y esa abeja construye su nido sola. En este dibujo la ilustradora @nermonper.bsky.social lo explica perfectamente.

💧Water shapes the fate of polyploid plants! In Dianthus broteri, higher polyploids thrive in dry conditions, while lower ploidy levels win when water is abundant, thanks to key functional physiological traits.🌼#Polyploidy buff.ly/alH3z1m

'Andrena solenopalpa' is unusual within its genus due to its long mouthparts.
It exclusively visits 'Lithodora fruticosa' flowers, probably being a textbook example of adaptation. Does this adaptation mean higher pollination effectiveness?
