🐝 The Biodiversity Forecasting Challenge is an experiment to understand how well machine learning models compare to human intuition.

Discover the perks of predicting insect population trends yourself. No need for previous expertise to try it out!

🌸How do non-native pollinators change pollinating networks? By analysing 2,100+ records in Chile, researchers found that non-native bees (like 𝘉. 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘴) are shifting pollination networks toward less specialised homogenised structures.

🔎 In this final post, part of the #ANTENNAexpertise campaign, we are sharing a paper that delves into how the future distributions of 48 European bumblebee species are strongly affected by climate change and land use change.

💡 A study assessed how climate change and landscape structure affect wild bees, showing that rising temperatures reduce bee species richness, but maintaining a high proportion of semi-natural habitats can mitigate these effects.

#Monitoring is needed to track changes in biodiversity and support nature conservation efforts. 🪲 Researchers propose a roadmap for improving Europe’s biodiversity monitoring system 🇪🇺

A new article in @NatRevBiodiv Nature Reviews Biodiversity outlines a blueprint for a coordinated European biodiversity observation system, which aims to transform how we track and understand biodiversity change across the continent.

By aligning diverse data streams — from field surveys and remote sensing to genomics and sensor networks — and identifying Essential Biodiversity Variables, this roadmap moves Europe closer to a truly integrated, transnational monitoring system for #biodiversity 🦉🦋🐿️🌿🍄

🔹 A harmonised system connecting monitoring efforts across countries and ecosystems

🔹 84 Essential Biodiversity Variables for consistent measurement

🔹 Establishment of a proposed European Biodiversity Observation Coordination Centre (EBOCC) to drive data integration and provide key information for decision-making.

🐝 Pollinators are essential for crops and wild plants, yet data on their declines are limited and biased. Coordinated research infrastructures are key to monitoring trends and supporting pollinator conservation in agroecosystems.
