Your Sunday night long read: “Managing insects and ecosystem services in ways that ensure the sustainability of ecosystem services is not optional, but rather is critical to human survival.” -Prof Timothy Schowalter, Louisiana State University. Read more: https://t.co/YVkh1Z5Z8f

Bonnieheath's @ALUSNorfolk @ALUSCanada tallgrass prairie provides ecological benefits but also therapeutic benefits. This sunset over the prairie just makes us feel great.

Research coming from the lab getting some attention in the media

[ALUS @ALUS_Solutions]

Interesting article in @farmtario on @aluselgin's recent tour quotes @AMacD_UGuelph team researcher Aleksandra Dolezal, whose work shows that ALUS wetland and grassland projects increase the abundance of beneficial insects on farms. Read more: https://t.co/btP7VD1aX3

@AMacD_UGuelph @ALUSCanada @farmtario @aluselgin This is great to see in the media!

Farm tour and workshop on ALUS Canada farms - Elgin County Ontario. Growing ecosystem services on marginal lands. Totally inspiring @ALUSCanada @ALUSNorfolk @aluselgin @MacD_EcologyLab @BiRNUofG

[Aleksandra Dolezal @Ecology_forlife]

Thanks @ALUSCanada for keeping up with me and my research. My next blog post will be about #ALUS and the good work they do for biodiversity through their marginal land conversion to prairie grassland #habitat #creation

[Andrew MacDougall @AMacD_UGuelph]

Congrats to four former lab members, who have recently accepted faculty positions - a testament to their hard work: Eric Harvey (UdeMontreal), Jenny McCune (Lethbridge), Carly Ziter (Concordia), Rachel Germain (UBC). @MacD_EcologyLab @IntUGrativeBiol

Late summer prairie field work, amongst clouds of monarchs and uncountable native pollinators @raresites @MacD_EcologyLab

[ALUS @ALUS_Solutions]

“The work presented here demonstrates that even small habitat enhancements... such as the addition of tallgrass prairie... could improve... ecosystem services (such as pollination) across the landscape.”

Tips for communicating your narrative: put your twitter hashtag in your presentation or poster and invite the audience to join the conversation #CSEETweetshop #CSEE2018

[CSEE_Meetings @CSEE_Meetings]

Hello conference goers! We got a shipment of too many CSEE shirts (but smalls only) so we are giving them out! All you have to do is engage in our twitter contest. Look out for #cseetshirt to receive your contest missions!! The first mission will be out in time for lunch......

[CSEE_Meetings @CSEE_Meetings]

For the first #cseetshirt mission we want you to find one of the conference organisers (you can distinguish them by their marvel stickers on their name tags) and take a selfie with them or their name tag! Lunch in Creelman hall will be a good time to find them. GOODLUCK!!

Thank you Sage and the @NigelERaine bee lab for identifying these down to genus! You are the real MVPs
