New preprint!
“Climate-driven specialisation in plant–pollinator networks peaks outside the tropics”
Testing the long-debated latitudinal specialisation gradient using >3,400 quantitative networks (>110,000 interactions). Led by @saileesakhalkar.bsky.social and myself ☺️

You are a South African who recently finished a PhD (after Feb 2020) and want to apply for a NRF POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP, then get in touch. My research focuses on social and solitary bees, their parasites, immunity, genetic diversity etc. Interested? Get in touch.
