Today, our article "The entities enabling scientific fraud at scale are large, resilient, and growing rapidly" is finally published in PNAS. I hope that it proves to be a wake-up-call for the whole scientific community.

Der Europäische Meeres-, Fischerei- und Aquakulturfonds hat heute den Entwurf eines Kormoran-„Managementplans“ veröffentlicht. Das Ziel? Eine europaweite Tötung von Kormoranen durch Abschuss und das Einölen von Eiern. Teil den Beitrag, um zu zeigen, wer wirklich Schuld an der Überfischung ist.

From Sweden to Switzerland 🇨🇭 - I am a PostDoc at Agroscope in Zürich now! 🗻 Happy to continue working with wild pollinators 🐝, but now more in an agricultural context in the new Agri4Pol project @agri4pol.eu

Maybe it is a long shot but thought I could try out the power of this platform: I am looking for a botanist with knowledge of flora/plant ecology of the Miombo woodland ecoregion, particularly trees! 🌳🌍 If so, drop me a comment or DM! 😊

🌸 Flower-rich road verges can increase the abundance of flower-visiting insects in the surrounding landscape! 🌸 Read it to learn about the role of traffic 🚗 and how we used 🍓 in our study. Check it out here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... with @eockinger.bsky.social
Flower-rich road verges increase abundance of flower visitors in the surrounding landscape
Flower-visiting insects and the plants that depend on them are declining due to habitat loss and deterioration. Road verges, which often provide abund…

Call me doctor! I had four years of amazing PhD life studying bees and butterflies with the best supervisor @eockinger.bsky.social 🐝🦋🌸 read it here: publications.slu.se?file=publ/sh...
Yesterday, @svenjahorstmann.bsky.social defended her PhD thesis in a splendid manner. @deepasena.bsky.social did a great job as "opponent" (external examiner).

That’s me!
Yesterday Svenja Horstmann nailed her PhD thesis entitled "The impact of traffic, management and landscape on flower-visiting insects and plants in road verges". The public defence will take place on December 6.

A wonderful article about my PhD project 🐝🦋🌸 did you know that roadside habitats can harbour many flowers and support wild bees and butterflies? But high traffic can be problem 🚗 #pollinators #bees #butterflies

Oh hello there, my precious! Have a look at my fresh second PhD chapter 🐝🚗🦋
Too busy for bees? 🐝

Road verges can support flower-visiting insects, but traffic matters! 🚗 Although high flower density along road benefits wild bees & butterflies, conservation efforts should focus on roads with low traffic or wide verges 🦋
