New paper out in PNAS (led by Julia Heinen). Here, we reported a clear loss of coevolutionary history and functional potential on seed dispersal after vertebrate extinctions and introductions in islands.

What sustains biodiversity? 🌿🌸🐝🐦⬛ It’s not just about species, it’s also about individuals.
Our new paper in @esajournals.bsky.social Ecol. Monogr. shows how the way individuals specialize on their mutualistic partners can scale up to shape species persistence.

Bridging the gap between individual specialization and species persistence in mutualistic communities
Mutualistic interactions among organisms are fundamental to the origin and maintenance of biodiversity. Yet, the study of community dynamics often relies on values averaged at the species level, igno...

Climate warming is not a recent phenomenon; it has had detectable impacts on plants for at least 134 years!

Pasquali et al. (2025) demonstrated wild bee abundance declined around 80% over 4 years after the introduction of beehives in Giannutri, a small island in the Mediterranean.

This Amegilla fasciata (Apidae) is looking for pollen and nectar in Lavandula multifida (Lamiaceae), but in the flowers, not always all resources are good, she uses her antennas to check the quality and decides if she stops to feed.

Nice collaborative research just published in @globalchangebio.bsky.social. In this study, led by Raúl Orihuela, we analyzed key drivers behind Anthropogenic Plant Extinctions in the Macaronesian islands

In this study authors concluded that beekeeping compromises wild bee conservation in nature reserves. Both taxonomic (TD) and phylogenetic (PD) diversity of wild bees was reduced near to beehives. Keep away beehives from protected areas
