Risk assessments underestimate threat of pesticides to wild bees

The paper finds that ecological risk assessments misestimate pesticide threats to wild bees by sixfold due to reliance on surrogate species with acute lethality data.

A globally synthesised and flagged bee occurrence dataset and cleaning workflow

The paper presents a cleaned and flagged global bee occurrence dataset and an R package to improve data accessibility and reliability for conservation and research.

SOCS2 regulation of growth hormone signaling requires a canonical interaction with phosphotyrosine

This study shows that SOCS2's regulation of growth hormone signaling depends on its interaction with phosphotyrosine, as demonstrated by comparing Socs2R96C/R96C and Socs2-/- mice.

Macroecological variation in movement profiles: body size does not explain it all

The paper analyzes movement profiles across vertebrates to show that body size does not fully explain movement distances, highlighting the role of ecological and biomechanical constraints.

Utilizing occupancy-detection models with museum specimen data: promise and pitfalls

The paper evaluates occupancy-detection models using museum specimen data, identifying conditions for accurate trend estimation and presenting a case study on odonates.

Closing the research-implementation gap using data science tools: a case study with pollinators of British Columbia

The paper develops an interactive web app to improve access to pollinator data and analyze plant phenology, making research more accessible to conservation practitioners.

Phenology and Robustness in plant-pollinator networks

This study examines how phenological traits affect plant-pollinator network structure and robustness using data from 33 sites in southern British Columbia.

Climate influences the response of community functional traits to local conditions

The paper quantifies how climate and local conditions influence functional trait composition in bromeliad invertebrate communities, finding climate explains more variation than local conditions.

Disentangling metacommunity processes using multiple metrics in space and time

The paper develops a Virtual ecologist approach to evaluate metacommunity assembly processes using spatial and temporal community structure statistics and random forests.

A process-based metacommunity framework linking local and regional scale community ecology

This paper presents a new metacommunity framework that links local and regional ecological dynamics through three key processes and demonstrates how existing theories are connected by these processes.

Food web networks shift across a precipitation gradient due to changes in community composition and species interactions.

The paper examines how food web networks change across a precipitation gradient by analyzing shifts in community composition and species interactions in bromeliad phytotelm communities.
