Today's fieldwork find was rather small.

Last few days to apply for a postdoc in my group University of Sussex looking at pollen foraging in social and solitary #bees. More info below, deadline 10th May #PostdocPosition #insect #AnimalBehaviour #pollination #AcademicChatter

Back in the field with one of my favourites - Eristalis tenax foraging on raspberry.

Are you interested in doing a PhD in entomology - why not come join the Harper Adams University group this autumn?! I currently have three very exciting (+ funded!) projects available with Tom Pope and Louise Mc Namara as well as other academic and industry collaborators! DM for info.

Please retweet: We are looking for a PhD student to conduct research on the chemical ecology of Mirids in Raspberry and Blackberry in super stunning #Tasmania! Applicants should have a strong interest in #entomology, #ChemicalEcology or #IPM utas.edu.au/research/degre…

I'm recruiting a PhD student to study heat tolerance and tree ecophysiology Western Sydney U - HIE. The student will join a large project aimed at creating cool, green cities in a warmer world. Applications due June 30, please see bit.ly/3wn869k.

Join our Australian stingless bee citizen science project! Do you have a stingless bee hive & want to help discover new info on reproductive behaviours? It only takes 3 mins per week! See website with info on how to register & general stingless bee info biological-sciences.uq.edu.au/engagement/nat…

Great possibilities to a bachelor or master thesis with us at TUM as part of the REASSEMBLY Research Unit reassemblynet.bsky.social project!

Come do a #PhD in Australia 🇦🇺 on #birds 🐦, #bats 🦇 or #pollinators 🪰🐝 and floral strips 🌻 on #blueberry 🫐 #farms. Stipend available + international applicants welcome! #PhDposition

Could flies be the next little big thing in #pollination? According to some great research out of the UNE School of Environmental and Rural Science, the idea could have (pollen-covered) legs: okt.to/LdyMvZ #OzPollinatorWeek #ResearchUNE

Did you know honey bees are not always the best pollinators? For those of you at #ESASCBO2022, come to the Species Interactions open forum session in the Belmore room @ 4pm to hear more about what we do and don't know about the second most important pollinating taxon: flies!

New paper out Insects MDPI! We placed portable pools filled with non-floral habitat in seed carrot crop fields to provide oviposition sites for beneficial fly pollinators... and it worked! 😊 Read more here: mdpi.com/2075-4450/14/5… MDPI Romina Rader Dr Lena Schmidt

Very excited to share our new paper out in Insects MDPI with my photo on the cover! We show that portable pools filled with non-floral habitat placed in seed carrot crop fields provide oviposition sites for beneficial fly pollinators. Abby E. Davis Romina Rader

New paper out in Applied Ecol. Resources|Ecol. Solutions & Evidence! Dr Lena Schmidt Karen Santos Romina Rader This started with a simple observation on a farm and turned into a really cool collaboration with industry and government researchers 😊 doi.org/10.1002/2688-8…

Our new paper from a collaborative effort between academia, industry and government provides insights into the oviposition behaviour and pollination efficiency of beneficial flies (Eristalis tenax) in agroecosystems.
