Virtual Issue: Pollinator Ecology

Manu Saunders5 Comments

The British Ecological Society has just published a ‘virtual’ journal issue on pollinator ecology, with all articles free to download for any reader, regardless of whether you have subscription access to the society. The articles are drawn from all five of the BES journals and cover all sorts of topical issues to do with honey bee health and biology, pesticide impacts and how management processes impact pollinators in agricultural landscapes.

And if this virtual issue isn’t enough for you, the Journal of Pollination Ecology is another permanently ‘open access’ peer-reviewed journal that publishes articles covering lots of different aspects of the wonderful world of pollination.

So click on the links to read the latest research on what modern life as a pollinator involves!

Ecological Influence

Manu Saunders4 Comments

A few weeks ago, my postgrad colleagues and I started a student research blog called Sturt’s Notebook, which will be managed and written by research students in our department. Here’s a guest post I wrote about the British Ecological Society’s collection of “100 of the most influential papers in ecology”. Even if you’re not an ecologist, it’s an interesting collection that provides much food for thought…including how omnipresent Ecology truly is, which I have written about here before.

So have a look at the “influential papers” and keep an eye on Sturt’s Notebook if you’re interested in new environmental research!
