🌼🌡️ 🐝 Thermal conditions can directly reshape species interaction networks under climate change.
⬇️ In this invited short piece, I discuss how temperature-driven shifts in pollinators’ foraging choices, revealed by a new study, can cascade through entire plant–pollinator networks.

🌷New Research highlight showcases Arrowsmith et al. (2025), which shows that temperature alone can shift pollinators’ floral choices in diverse plant–pollinator communities. Such thermally-driven species interaction rewiring may have important consequences. ➡️ buff.ly/i5QrFjd

🌸🐝 This is a nice piece on my most recent study, saying:
"The new work from northeastern Brazil delivers a clear message: evolution does not wait for the next Ice Age. It is happening now, [...] as flowers and their faithful couriers dance to a rhythm increasingly disrupted by a changing climate."

A blue bee! This is the blue carpenter bee, Xylocopa tumida.
I was SO excited to find this animal just before dawn at Trus Madi Entomology Camp in Borneo.
So full of beauty.

🌸 Who knew the generalized flowers of our delicious Spondias (cajá, umbu and seriguela) could be so picky? 😄
💐 They welcome many visitors—but floral scents reveal secret favorites!
