Save the bees! 🐝 Check out this tool to see how the bees are doing in your area! Follow up with monitoring, conservation and/or restoration! 🌼 This was a fun project - made even better by great collaborators!! @CornellBirds @AtkinsonCenter

What can the birds tell us about the bees? 🐝 A new publicly available Wild Bee Diversity Prediction Tool developed by Cornell Atkinson + @CornellBirds uses @Team_eBird data to track and estimate the diversity of wild bees across 25+ states🧵 ℹ️ https://t.co/GfBf7rNszt

Combining bird and land cover data surpasses traditional indicators in predicting wild bee richness, potentially guiding conservation efforts until more bee data becomes available! 🐦🐝🌻🌳 Great working with @ali__johnston and @ADRodewald 🙏

Summary of our recent paper ( https://t.co/xwji9bMhAF) calling for conciliation in the habitat fragmentation debate (led by @JonathonValente, co-authors @FletcherEcology, @HightowerJn, Lenore Fahrig and others).

Landscape experts have been entrenched in this debate for decades. Now some of them are joining forces to find an answer.

Jonathon Valente didn’t set out to be a mediator for scientists or science, but to help his field of landscape ecology out of a rut, that’s just what he became.

Much needed R package! 👏 Wished it existed 3 years ago when I started using bee data in research 🐝 💻
🚨New paper and R package thread🚨 I’m pleased to announce the culmination of 1.5 years of work trying to make occurrence data easier to reliably use! The paper — https://t.co/cZEO9jN24W (+globally cleaned bee data) The BeeBDC R package — https://t.co/PhbHIWVu3Q 1/18

The habitat fragmentation debate has become “locked in”. Time to for us all to move forward and provide consensus recommendations for policy makers (of course a Canadian would say that?) Bravely led by @JonathonValente

🌿 To boost conservation and inform policy, let's advance our understanding of fragmentation's impact on biodiversity: 1. Scale considerations: Patch vs Landscape 2. Measurements: Habitat vs Land cover 3. Use competing hypotheses ... https://t.co/I56xsUcgQU 👏 @JonathonValente

Interesting paper by @MattBetts11 et al in @Ecol_Evol which makes us think about why we should (or should not) state multiple alternative hypotheses in ecology and evolution. Comes w/ an analysis of trends in litterature & useful definitions. https://t.co/Q06OoQI5FG 🗞️#320-2023
