EU reforms in chemical risk assessments to protect wild pollinators proposed by a Horizon Europe project This is the first policy brief by the Horizon Europe project PollinERA, whose aim is to improve pesticide risk assessments, in order to protect wild pollinators across the Europe Union.

📢 The 1st Policy Brief by the @pollinera-horizon.eu consortium is NOW OUT

👍 Make sure to keep tabs on the project's #openaccess collections on @riojournal.com & @fesmj.pensoft.net for #project outputs meant to help reform #pesticides risk assessment for healthy #pollinators!

The Formal Model for Coccinella septempunctata for implementation in Animal Landscape and Man Simulation System We present the Formal Model for the seven-spotted ladybird Coccinella septempunctata L., to be implemented in the Animal Landscape and Man Simulation System. This agent-based model is designed to dyna...

A model aiming to create a realistic representation of Coccinella septempunctata ladybirds moving through landscapes in space and time and to generate emergent population dynamics from the sum of the behaviours of the individual ladybird agents.

Landscapes from the bee perspective: an application of SolBeePop to field study data Introduction: The temporal and spatial pattern of floral resources in a landscape is an important driver of dynamics of pollinator species, such as solitary bees. Thus, the representation of complex l...

An important tool for identifying data gaps and research needs, as well for supporting risk assessments of solitary bee species in complex landscapes.
