Call for help! For a course about nature #conservation on land, we are looking for recent "must-read' publications. It could be anything from practical conservation efforts to policy. Focus is though Europe and even Northern Europe. What are your must-reads? #biology #restoration #protection

Die Blutweiderich-Sägehornbiene (Melitta nigricans) war bis vor wenigen Jahren in Südniedersachsen nicht nachgewiesen - wurde 2019 aber erstmals im Alten Botanischen Garten der @unigoettingen.bsky.social entdeckt.

Diese hochspezialisierte Art sammelt Pollen ausschließlich an Blutweiderich.
