This week on #WildPoshInterviews, we chat with Simone Tosi! Simone, Associate Professor at the University of Turin, leads Work Package 5 in the WildPosh project, where he’s focused on developing a toolbox for assessing pesticide risks to #pollinators. By integrating in vitro, in vivo, and in silico data, this tool will help predict and mitigate the impacts of pesticides on #pollinators across diverse European landscapes.

Our project coordinator Prof. Denis Michez will contribute to another pollinator project - AGRI4POL Project! Threats to #pollinators and pollination services that support #agriculture and provide benefits to people are a worldwide problem. AGRI4POL’s ambition is to assist the transition of agriculture from being a pressure on pollinators to becoming a positive force for managing and restoring pollinator biodiversity, crop pollination services and co-benefits to ecosystems and people. 🐝 AGRI4POL is set to start in January 2025.

🐝 Face aux défis environnementaux, comment allier agriculture, respect des pollinisateurs et protection de la biodiversité ? 🌍AGRI4POL Project, financé par le programme Horizon Europe et comptant 23 partenaires dont l'UMONS, vise à répondre à cette question cruciale. En étudiant les interactions clés entre pollinisateurs et cultures, les chercheurs visent à identifier des cultures "intelligentes" qui favorisent les pollinisateurs, dans un contexte de changement climatique. Le service de Zoologie de l’UMONS (Prof. Denis Michez) y jouera un rôle clé, en caractérisant les syndromes de pollinisation de cultures agricoles, qui sont les traits, morphologiques et chimiques, qui attirent certains pollinisateurs. 💬 Denis Michez : « Nous analyserons la composition chimique du pollen et du nectar de différentes variétés agricoles pour modéliser le processus optimal de pollinisation, en lien avec les traits des pollinisateurs. Ces recherches permettront notamment de formuler des recommandations favorables aux pollinisateurs et de prévoir l’impact des changements climatiques sur les interactions plante-pollinisateur en Europe ». Le projet, coordonné par l’INRAE, l’Institut national français de recherche pour l’agriculture, l’alimentation et l’environnement, débutera en janvier 2025. ℹ️ Lisez l'article complet pour en savoir plus : https://lnkd.in/e4tfFQQ5 Philippe Dubois｜Ruddy Wattiez｜Céline THILLOU｜Marlène Genlain｜Barbara Marchi｜Alessandro Brunetti｜Elif Kardas 📧 Vous êtes intéressés par le montage d'un projet européen ?

Pollinator projects 🤝 establishing meaningful collaborations across countries
PollinERA was quite busy this summer attending international events across Europe and Asia. 🐝 🔸 27th International Congress of Entomology (#ICE2024) 🔸 53rd Annual Conference of the German Ecological Society (#GfÖ24) 🔸 9th Student Conference on Conservation Science (#SCCSEurope2024) On behalf of the project’s communication and dissemination partner, Pensoft Publishers, PollinERA distributed various project materials, including the PollinERA two-pager, stickers, flyers with study species illustrations, bookmarks, and study species stickers. 📝 As a step towards building a more powerful collaborative network, PollinERA participated in the events together with the ongoing sister projects Safeguard, WildPosh Project and ANTENNA Project, as well as the PoshBee and B-GOOD projects, which ended last year. Moreover, during the events, two upcoming EU-funded pollinator projects were presented: VALOR Project and AGRI4POL Project. 🤝 🔎 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gBBMF88Q
