Save the bees! 🐝

Check out this tool to see how the bees are doing in your area! Follow up with monitoring, conservation and/or restoration! 🌼

This was a fun project - made even better by great collaborators!! @CornellBirds @AtkinsonCenter

What can the birds tell us about the bees? 🐝

A new publicly available Wild Bee Diversity Prediction Tool developed by Cornell Atkinson + @CornellBirds uses @Team_eBird data to track and estimate the diversity of wild bees across 25+ states🧵

Combining bird and land cover data surpasses traditional indicators in predicting wild bee richness, potentially guiding conservation efforts until more bee data becomes available!

Great working with

Much needed R package! 👏 Wished it existed 3 years ago when I started using bee data in research 🐝 💻

[James B Dorey @JamesBeeDorey]

🚨New paper and R package thread🚨
I’m pleased to announce the culmination of 1.5 years of work trying to make occurrence data easier to reliably use!

The habitat fragmentation debate has become “locked in”. Time to for us all to move forward and provide consensus recommendations for policy makers (of course a Canadian would say that?) Bravely led by @JonathonValente https://t.co/xwji9bMhAF

[Josée Rousseau @JS_Rousseau]

🌿 To boost conservation and inform policy, let's advance our understanding of fragmentation's impact on biodiversity:
1. Scale considerations: Patch vs Landscape
2. Measurements: Habitat vs Land cover
3. Use competing hypotheses ...

[Olivier Gimenez 🖖🦦 @oaggimenez]

Interesting paper by @MattBetts11 et al in @Ecol_Evol which makes us think about why we should (or should not) state multiple alternative hypotheses in ecology and evolution. Comes w/ an analysis of trends in litterature & useful definitions.

Peter Kaestner wants to be the first person in the world to see 10,000 species––and he only needs 144 more. I tagged along with him in Peru to find out what the quest––a lifelong pursuit––really takes. @outsidemagazine
