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!
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.

Massive congrats to Jessi for a terrific final honours seminar presentation about her research on plant-pollinator networks in mining rehab areas! @whydee13#proudsupervisor
"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.
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.

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.
The 2021 Enhancing Fieldwork Learning Showcase will be online on the 8/9th September 2021.
The focus will be on the themes of "Diversity, Inclusivity and Employability; Fieldwork Skills for All".
Abstract submission now open:

"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."
