New paper publishing time series data showing that wild bee abundance declined by 58% over 8 years. But. Populations were highly variable, and whether results are statistically significant depends on the analysis approach used.
“Now is the time to stop the next shooting ... In each case we say this isn’t the time. Now is the time — like, literally right now. That’s why I’m here.”
— Texas gubernatorial candidate @BetoORourke on Gov. Greg Abbott saying now is not the time to politicize a shooting

Hi all! My advisor and I are interested about how folks use (or don't use) vane traps for collecting bees. If you could fill out this quick 12-question survey, we'd really appreciate it! Thanks, and please RT! https://t.co/AkirLPDJPw
New paper out with @larval_yeti , @M_Stemkovski , T. Harrison, @zachportman , @biogeo_josh , @mel_ittology , @DavidInouye1 , and R. Irwin showing that bees respond differently to climate change based on their life history traits https://t.co/haKcr4yyV2
Pollen does a more than fertilize plants or make you sneeze, it can also solve crimes! Researchers in the lab of Dr. Shalene Jha use pollen #forensics to track moving organisms and determine biogeographic origins. https://t.co/Lv8ePoZf6u
Just released- our new paper reflecting on mismatches between conservation research and implementation!
We conclude that there has been progress in the alignment of research and practice in recent years, but that mismatches remain (especially due to institutional constraints)
