I'm looking forward to a great #EntSoc25! Lots of colleagues to connect with and learn from. I'm excited to present our #FriendsMissRiv research assessing habitat for bumble bees in Minnesota restored and remnant prairie. Come join me on Tuesday morning!

Doherty et al share that #PrescribedFires can facilitate the presence of some taxa if burns are sufficiently large and severe.🔥🌱 Read more on this #hottopic at https://t.co/WcpzVDx0lg

@SkepticalMoth @Dr_Akito Thanks, Chris! Good idea.

@riva_ecology I was hoping to make it but unfortunately was not able to - another time! Enjoy the conference.

So happy to be part of this great organization! In my new role as Pollinator Biologist, I get to play an active role in restoring lands along the Mississippi River watershed, work with partners and volunteers, and monitor and conduct research on pollinators.

We can't protect pollinators without centering movements for environmental justice. Got an op-ed published yesterday that outlines the City's regulatory failure to help the bees and the people. Follow @epni_urbanfarm to take action!

New paper by Julia Brokaw et al. documenting more ground-nesting bee nests in burned compared to unburned remnant tallgrass prairie. Very interesting!

Great breakdown of our recent publication on butterfly and bee responses to fire and grazing in tallgrass prairie from @Midd_Insects. Thanks for sharing!

[Julia B. Leone @julia_leone]

@Midd_Insects Thanks so much for sharing our research!
