My first first-author paper is out now in Ecological Entomology: https://t.co/RwLyqtUjen

Heatwaves increase larval mortality and delay development of a solitary bee

so grateful to my co-authors and mentors @clarastuligross @WilliamsBeeLab and to Osmia lignaria!

🚨New paper🚨

So excited our research into the impacts of landscape-scale pesticide exposure on bee health is published in @Nature. Huge thanks to my co-1st author @JessKnapp24 and @MajRundlof and all in @poshbee_eu

The paper: https://t.co/tea52zXVqf

What’s this all about? 🧵

Excited to announce that the Department of Entomology and Nematology (UC Davis) is opening a search for an Assistant Professor position in Insect Biology. This is an unusual search in that we are encouraging applicants whose research focuses on any aspect of insect biology.

[Clara Stuligross @clarastuligross]

Our new work on solitary bee behavior, insecticide exposure, and resource limitation is now available open access in @STOTEN_journal!

A collaboration with @gigi_melone, Li Wang, & @WilliamsBeeLab

Congrats to Neal Williams lab at #ucdavis on recent publication in Journal of Applied Ecology. See what they did! https://t.co/r9Vfoilff9

[Clara Stuligross @clarastuligross]

We are excited to share our new paper, available open access in @JAppliedEcology! 🌻🐝🚜

Flower plantings support wild bee reproduction and may also mitigate pesticide exposure effects

Come work with us! 🐝❤️

Proud lab moment!🎈 William's lab PhD student @EcoRosey's work on the giant Chilean bumble bee, Bombus Dahlbomii and its interactions with the invasive B. terrestris published! Check it out 🔖👀

[Nick Rosenberger @EcoRosey]

I am so glad that this is finally out! Invasive Bombus terrestris modify Fuchsia magellanica flowers by nectar robbing and gain competitive advantage over native B. dahlbomii by foraging nectar more efficiently. B. dahlbomii alters behavior to try and compensate @marcelo_aizen
