Very proud of Alison O’Reilly for submitting her PhD! It's been fantastic having her work on SUSPOLL Project #believeinscience @scienceirel

Our new paper 'How foraging preference & activity level of #bumblebees contribute to colony flexibility under resource demand' is out in Animal #Behaviour: authors.elsevier.com/c/1fvVOmjL~dhN #Pollinators Dr Liz Franklin Animal Behavior Society

You've only got a few more days to submit an abstract for the Ecology and Evolution Ireland conference! Submit now to join Jens Svenning, Jennifer McElwain, Owen Petchey & everyone at IEA in Dublin this January! ➡️britishecologicalsociety.org/event/ecology-…

Good example of why it's so important that we clearly communicate what pesticides we're actually testing. The paper cited tested a product containing glyphosate and a range of co-formulants, either could be driving the effect. Yet it's being used to support a ban on glyphosate.

Abstract submission for the 4th Ecology and Evolution, Ireland conference is extended to **1st November**! Submit here: irishecologicalassociation.org/events/ecoevo2… for the opportunity to present at this friendly and welcoming conference!

1 more week until abstract submission closes, don't miss your chance to present!

How strong is the evidence for pain in insects? The idea has often been dismissed, but an emerging new picture suggests it should now be taken very seriously. We've just released a full review of all the current evidence (free to read here) (1/4): authors.elsevier.com/a/1g4skErzKIFWg

Registration deadline has been extended to Friday 25th November. Tickets also available for GIS course on 4th January. eventbrite.co.uk/e/ecology-evol…

So important! Fundamental discoveries takes a long time. Applications that could be huge for humanity are often not apparent at the start. If we only fund applied science, we will discover less. This is as relevant to ecology & conservation as it is to biotechnology.
