Las temperaturas en Europa occidental entre el 15 de mayo y 15 de julio fueron muy anómalamente altas en comparación con los mismos períodos de 1951-1980 y 1991-2020. Sin cambio climático habría sido prácticamente imposible alcanzar temperaturas tan altas durante esos dos meses.

🐦🏙️ Bird colours are changing in cities! Dr. Janas (MIZ PAS) co-authored a study across 8 Polish cities showing that more urban “concreting” leads to duller, more variable yellow in Great Tits 💛, while Blue Tits have brighter tails - yet melanin colours stay unchanged. 🐦🪽 🔗 Link: shorturl.at/Adsyw

🐜 Bird nests as refuges for arthropod biodiversity 📄 Principal investigator Marta Maziarz, with the collaboration of @trigos-peral.bsky.social, has taken part in a study analysing how the nests of the wood warbler (Phylloscopus sibilatrix) function as microhabitats for arthropod communities.

Always a pleasure to count on Sergio for a beautiful and accurate illustration!!! 🐦‍⬛🐜🦗🕷️🦂🪲🦟🪳 bsky.app/profile/thea...

Surviving in a new habitat isn’t easy… unless you land in the perfect spot. 🌍🐜 In Nerja (Málaga, Spain), Plagiolepis alluaudi seems to have landed in ideal climatic conditions. Check out my new publication to learn more! 👉 shorturl.at/viNm0 #ants #exotic_species #urban_areas #climate

📢 New ant species in Poland! 🐜Dr. Trigos-Peral and Prof. Czechowski report the first Polish record of Plagiolepis pygmaea in Warsaw. This finding highlights the role of cities in introducing non-native ants. 📖 shorturl.at/dbn21 #biodiversity #ants #urbanecology #invasive #conservation

Urban ants are less picky than rural ants when it comes to sugar solution. Maybe the aphids in cities produce poorer honeydew, reflecting the stress they, or their tree hosts are under? New paper, with Stanislav Stukalyuk and @trigos-peral.bsky.social. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
