What is wrong with a little Platonism in plant ecology and evolutionary biology? I expose the problem and propose a way out in my @asn-amnat.bsky.socialdoi.org/10.1086/727966 Paywalled, but see next post for link to access the pdf (can be used up to 50 times)
Beautiful !
Yo les veo más pinta de grullas que de garzas, Carmen
In a nice behavioral convergence with warblers, robins and thrushes, Vanessa atalanta butterflies from northern and central Europe come to the Mediterranean region to overwinter. Arbutus unedo trees are a keystone resource here, providing fruits to birds and flowers to butterflies
Striking exceptions are nature's way of ruining self-confidence. I had always associated pollination by Scoliid wasps with spring-summer flowers. Just because hadn't met Campsomeriella thoracica until today. This large, lowland-coastal species mostly flies during November-January
One of the motivations of Campagna & Guevara's book "Speaking of forms of life", as admitted by themselves. Who didn't feel that way while witnessing how things are going ?
I've been always interested in the many insidious ways through which language inadvertently modulates or distorts our apprehension of nature and its conservation. Amazed by this gem of book.
[new paper] Brain size predicts bees' tolerance to urban environments royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...
I combined species-specific thermal biology parameters of a diverse sample of bees (N = 204 spp) with data on the bee pollinators of the whole regional community of entomophilous plants (N = 292 spp). Thermal biology diversity can enhance complementarity effects and partitioning of floral resources
