New paper out in PNAS (led by Julia Heinen). Here, we reported a clear loss of coevolutionary history and functional potential on seed dispersal after vertebrate extinctions and introductions in islands.

Pasquali et al. (2025) demonstrated wild bee abundance declined around 80% over 4 years after the introduction of beehives in Giannutri, a small island in the Mediterranean.

Nice collaborative research just published in @globalchangebio.bsky.social. In this study, led by Raúl Orihuela, we analyzed key drivers behind Anthropogenic Plant Extinctions in the Macaronesian islands

In this study authors concluded that beekeeping compromises wild bee conservation in nature reserves. Both taxonomic (TD) and phylogenetic (PD) diversity of wild bees was reduced near to beehives. Keep away beehives from protected areas
