Spent the morning with Drs Vickruck & Galpern at UofC, getting updates on the biodiversity survey and Ecological Services project funded by Canola Growers. We now have the largest collection of beneficial insects on the Prairie, and a wildly powerful dataset!

There’s lots of buzz around DUC podcast Ep.16! That’s because we talk to U Calgary landscape ecologist Paul Galpern about pollinators like wild bees and why wetlands are important for their future in areas with abundant croplands. ducks.ca/podcast #DUCPod #bees #pollinators

Cool study! And for those interested in examples with #rstats brms, here ya go! @jessvickruck sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

It was a pleasure to visit with Paul Galpern at Enchant Farm to learn more about pollinators and their association with wetlands and habitat patches within and near crop. Richard Stamp Alberta Conservation Perdix Wildlife Supplies

Our collaborative bee digitizing effort led by Mindi Summers makes the news. Many people made this happen. @UofC_Science UCalgary Libraries and Cultural Resources. #worldbeeday calgaryherald.com/news/local-new…

Something is abuzz! The Faculty of Science and Libraries & Cultural Resources have worked together to create a new digital collection of native Albertan bee species for researchers & bee lovers to learn from and enjoy. View a slideshow of the collection: ow.ly/jrpD50ugloW

Paul Galpern Nicely done, Paul! We have beautiful male varipuncta carpenter bees here in the Bay Area - they are fuzzy golden with big green eyes. They are quite big (an inch!) and don't have stingers!

Two year post doctoral opportunity with my lab! Think #bees, #canola, landscape conservation and statistics. We're moving quickly. Contact me ASAP. ecologics.ucalgary.ca/lab/positions-…

I talk about our University of Calgary #bee imaging project on CBC Calgary radio. Here's the audio. Great to be part of the big team led by Dr Mindi Summers with L.R.Best @jessvickruck Jana Vamosi 🇨🇦 and others. #WorldBeeDay @UofC_Science UCalgary Libraries and Cultural Resources cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

MORE beneficial insects and ecosystem services today, at UofC with Paul Galpern and Sam Robinson, Ph.D. Super exciting to be in the room housing one of the largest collections of native bees in Canada! #canola #beneficialinsects

Harvesting #canola in Vermillion last month. Starting a new project with Paul Galpern and Laurel on yield and semi-natural features in fields!

I cannot express how dismayed I am. How can I wean myself off of Google products. Their financial support of climate denial is unacceptable. Is Apple better? theguardian.com/environment/20…

#UTMBiology we are very excited to have Paul Galpern tomorrow lecturing us on the merits of messy fields! and we like our poster very much! Biology at York Laurier Biology 💜𓅪💛 @WaterlooBio Tristan A F Long 🪰🔬 Integrative Biology show us your #seminar #posters

New paper, hot off the press from my lab group! TL:DR -> Landscape complexity was positively associated with crop yields, and farmers may receive a small crop productivity benefit from enhancing landscape complexity. Nice work Paul Galpern, @jessvickruck! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Just got off the plane in Toronto. Starkly dystopian in this full colour shot from the #UCPexpress as a thunderstorm looms. #yyz
