A little game of "Buzz Off" amongst the blue banded bees in my yard! That guy is jostling for the prime roosting spot. Sorry bud - you snooze late, you lose!

#Biogeochemical hotspots (#fertile #islands) paper out in Nature Plants. Dryland plant islands are critically important for sustaining functional soils; larger islands better; no grazing effects @UNSWScience @ManuDelBaq @ftmaestre @jingyiding1

20 years ago I started my Phd and read Bascompte et al. 2003 PNAS on the prevalence of nestedness for plant-pollinator networks. Today, we publish a pice confirming empirically (6 years of data across 12 sites) that the structure of interactions carries predictive power.

Learning to think like an ecologist #ESA21

[Ecological Society of Australia @EcolSocAus]

"Field-based activities provide opportunities for students to engage in place-based learning and multiple ways to learn", says @whydee13 at #ESAus21. During the pandemic, @UTSEngage students designed a sampling program and used sample data to analyse urban pollinator networks.

@desert_ecology @dieterhochuli I learned to think like an ecologist by the best @desert_ecology

[ACSES @acsesedu]

The @jindaola Programme by @UOW teaches educators about #AboriginalPerspectives and knowledges to incorporate them into university-wide curricula.

@CFieldAssoc explores the programme's success in conversation with @jadekennedy09.

@desert_ecology Oh that waratah is amazing! On my humble balcony I've got native irises, wax flowers and Trachymene incisa is on its way!

Researchers from UTS Science are currently conducting a survey in collaboration with Central Coast Council to better understand how residents of the Central Coast feel about their neighbourhood’s liveability, particularly regarding urban trees. https://t.co/CyUln0lEN5.

"It's worth noting that the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan was conceived by two female scientists who - in the face of ongoing decline of the species they had dedicated their professional lives to - decided to try change the world."
