This is a reminder that I have an annouced #PhDposition working on #bumblebee #genomics 🐝🧬 at Centre for Palaeogenetics and Stockholm University Deadline: 15th February Apply here -> su.se/english/about-…

I'm proud to announce a project that has been nearly 22 years in the making: Josh'es [sic] Book of ANIMALS 🦭 Since the age of nine I have been writing and illustrating my own animal encyclopedia, and as of last week I can confirm that it is finished...

🚨 #PhDposition on #arcticfoxes 🐺🏔️🧬 Based at Swedish Arctic Fox project & Department of Zoology, the PhD student will look into dispersal patterns, gene flow and connectivity within Scandinavia. Lots of fieldwork in the Swedish mountains! Come join us! su.se/english/about-… RT!

We are excited to announce the publication of our comment in Nature Climate Change: We argue that, when it comes to pollinator sensory ecology, the impact of climate change is poorly studied and we highlight the most immediate research challenges.

It's thistle season and the bumblebees love it!

As part of an ongoing project, we're sampling different bumblebee species to understand how habitat shapes sensory traits! 🐝🧠🕵️🌳

I’m looking for candidate interested in applying for competitive 2-year postdoc from Swedish funder to work in my lab. Topic can be aspects of floral evolution, pollination (incl. buzz pollination), biomechanics, etc. Email me if interested. Post based Uppsala University in Sweden.

Our new paper just landed! 🐝🎯😉 journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…

Buzzing into the weekend like... Mario Vallejo-Marin

Excited to share this preprint about a new #extreme and marginal #coral environment in the southern Caribbean! Amazing work by Master students Chiara de Jong, iris van os and Guadalupe Sepulveda - especially given that all fieldwork was done during 2020!! tinyurl.com/4yxbktzn

Day 6: Priscila Araújo & Guadalupe Sepulveda in the INSECT Lab SU work on examining how temperature affects bumblebee vision, flight, and pollination! To get these cool results they have to get bumblebees to fly in a flight chamber under simulated heatwaves!

Check out our new review on buzz pollination with Avery Russell @draverbee.bsky.social Annals of Botany Harvesting pollen with vibrations: Towards an integrative understanding of the proximate and ultimate reasons for buzz pollination academic.oup.com/aob/article/do…

Congratulations to Zahra for successfully defending her PhD thesis titled "The sensory morphology of insect pollinators"!!! Amazing discussions with Karin Nordström, Therese Löfroth, Stephen Montgomery, and Erik Öckinger. Thanks!

Come and work with us! Amazing team and working environment!

Our former postdoc, Dr. Maxence Gérard, is currently doing important work on the new European bee red list 🐝 IUCN Red List Thanks for visiting Max!

Exciting research presented by members of the department yesterday at #NordicOikos2024. Posters by Bella Siemers and Isabelle Resende and talks by Guadalupe Sepulveda and Mats Ittonen!

Bumblebees ✅ Equipment ✅ Let the work beegin! 🌻🐝🌼🐝 Dr Charlie Woodrow Mario Vallejo-Marin Guadalupe Sepulveda

Happy World Bee day! Stockholm University is celebrating with an article about our work (in Swedish) su.se/nyheter/svetti… You can also read more about World Bee day here un.org/en/observances…

Our paper on how biting helps during buzz pollination is free to read. Thanks to Uppsala University for providing open access fees. Buzz-pollinating bees deliver thoracic vibrations to flowers through periodic biting: Current Biology cell.com/current-biolog…
