#DYK that honeybees have a dance move called the ‘waggle dance’ to inform other bees about a new food source?

💡 Your #project #consortium don't need to publish all #papers & #research outputs with us to have them featured in an #openscience collection, where ALL will be sharing a central page & DOI link!
👉 Excellent example from the #Horizon-funded project #Safeguard: https://doi.org/10.3897/rio.coll.229

This collection hosts outcomes from Safeguard, a Horizon 2020 funded European Research Consortium (grant agreement No 101003476). Safeguard is a 4-year funded project (2021-2025) that brings together world-leading researchers, NGOs, industry and policy experts to substantially contribute to Europe’s capacity to reverse the losses of wild pollinators. Safeguard will significantly expand current assessments of the status and trends of European wild pollinators including bees, butterflies, flies and other pollinating insects. The collection includes a range of outputs, including reports, protocols, methodologies, and research papers.

If you see a bee, would you know it is one?
You might see them less, though: 1 in 3 bee, butterfly and hoverfly species is in decline.

🐝 Over the next 3 years, the #HorizonEurope-funded #PollinERA Project will be addressing #pollinator population declines and harmful #pesticides by supporting 🇪🇺 EU Environmental Risk Assessment & policy.
📃 Grant Proposal: https://doi.org/10.3897/rio.10.e127485
💡 Over the course of the #PollinERA Project, all key project outputs will be added to the consortium's #openscience project collection: https://doi.org/10.3897/rio.coll.249

PollinERA aims to reverse pollinator population declines and reduce the harmful impacts of pesticides. It addresses the call through four objectives: SO1 filling ecotoxicological data gaps to enable realistic prediction of the source and routes of exposure and impact of pesticides on pollinators and their sensitivity to individual pesticides and mixtures. SO2 developing and testing a co-monitoring scheme for pesticides and pollinators across European cropping systems and landscapes, developing risk indicators and mixture exposure information. SO3 developing models for predicting pesticide toxicological effects on pollinators for chemicals and organisms, environmental fate, toxicokinetic/ toxicodynamic, and population models. SO4 developing a population-level systems-based approach to risk and policy assessment considering multiple stressors and long-term spatiotemporal dynamics at the landscape scale and generating an open database for pollinator/pesticide data and tools.This will be achieved through developing knowledge and protocols for a broad range of toxicological testing, feeding to in silico models (QSARS, toxicokinetic/toxicodynamic, and population). Using a strong stakeholder co-development approach, these models will be combined in a One System framework taking a systems view on risk assessment and policy evaluation, including an international monitoring program.The One System framework is based on EFSA’s system ERA view, expanding on the tools used for bees to include butterflies, moths and hoverflies. The consortium partners are experts in the field needed for this development and are well-placed to facilitate the uptake of tools by European bodies to guarantee the project's future impact.Expected impacts target Destination impacts of better understanding and addressing drivers of biodiversity decline, interconnected biodiversity research using digital technologies, and understanding the biodiversity and health nexus at the ecosystem level.

One of our most endangered species, the Parnassus Apollo butterfly, has seen a fifty percent decline in 25 years. LIFE Apollo2020 offers hope, aiming to reverse this trend and secure the future of these vital pollinators.

Our new guidelines on #biocides risks to bees is a step towards reversing pollinator decline and preserving biodiversity.
Let's unite in safeguarding the heart of our ecosystems!
