A do-or-die moment for the scientific enterprise Reflecting on our paper “The entities enabling scientific fraud at scale are large, resilient, and growing rapidly”

Today, our article "The entities enabling scientific fraud at scale are large, resilient, and growing rapidly" is finally published in PNAS. I hope that it proves to be a wake-up-call for the whole scientific community.

Der Europäische Meeres-, Fischerei- und Aquakulturfonds hat heute den Entwurf eines Kormoran-„Managementplans“ veröffentlicht. Das Ziel? Eine europaweite Tötung von Kormoranen durch Abschuss und das Einölen von Eiern. Teil den Beitrag, um zu zeigen, wer wirklich Schuld an der Überfischung ist.

From Sweden to Switzerland 🇨🇭 - I am a PostDoc at Agroscope in Zürich now! 🗻 Happy to continue working with wild pollinators 🐝, but now more in an agricultural context in the new Agri4Pol project @agri4pol.eu

Maybe it is a long shot but thought I could try out the power of this platform: I am looking for a botanist with knowledge of flora/plant ecology of the Miombo woodland ecoregion, particularly trees! 🌳🌍 If so, drop me a comment or DM! 😊

Flower-rich road verges increase abundance of flower visitors in the surrounding landscape Flower-visiting insects and the plants that depend on them are declining due to habitat loss and deterioration. Road verges, which often provide abund…

🌸 Flower-rich road verges can increase the abundance of flower-visiting insects in the surrounding landscape! 🌸 Read it to learn about the role of traffic 🚗 and how we used 🍓 in our study. Check it out here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... with @eockinger.bsky.social

Thanks! Species richness of cuckoo bees increased with traffic intensity, as well as parasitism rate in trap nests 🕵️‍♀️ keep posted for some upcoming papers!

Traffic intensity and vegetation management affect flower‐visiting insects and their response to resources in road verges Road verges can play a valuable role for the conservation of wild bees and butterflies, but there is a need to consider both traffic intensity and resource availability when implementing management s....

A wonderful article about my PhD project 🐝🦋🌸 did you know that roadside habitats can harbour many flowers and support wild bees and butterflies? But high traffic can be problem 🚗 #pollinators #bees #butterflies
