Excited to share another new paper from the @GrattonLab, published today in Landscape Ecology (my second in the journal in 3 weeks 😆)! This one is led by @hugs_4_bugs. We show that lady beetles 🐞 are lighter & leaner in simplified ag landscapes. doi.org/10.1007/s10980-022-0… 1/9

Agriculturally intensified landscapes are associated with reduced body condition of lady beetles

Landscape Ecology - Agricultural intensification is contributing to a global species decline. Underlying mechanisms include toxic effects of pesticides on non-target organisms and reductions in...

The third piece of @Genevieves_bees most excellent dissertation is in print! Movement during nest searching reflects nest habitat quality. Yowza! doi.org/10.1111/een.13156. @rghatfield @_JohnMola @AskAboutOaks @beepunstings @SaveWildBees @PollinateTufts @RachaelEBee @bee_searcher

Movement of nest‐searching bumblebee queens reflects nesting habitat quality

We found that nest-searching Bombus impatiens queens search more thoroughly in land cover types associated with high nest densities (forests and meadows) than low-quality habitat (hay fields). Our...

Farm fields! Take a closer look & you'll find that they're more than the crops that grow on them. A new review out by @glbioenergy & WEI researchers explores how we can design these landscapes to support crops AND biodiversity: energy.wisc.edu/news/designi…
