WildPosh at SCAPE: Presenting pesticide sensitivity research

Researchers from the Albert Ludwigs University of Freiburg presented WildPosh findings at the Scandinavian Association for Pollination Ecology (SCAPE) conference, sharing results on the sensitivity of two Osmia bee species to various pesticides.

The poster presentation covered a laboratory study conducted at the UFR, detailing both the scientific results and the methodological approach used to assess pesticide effects on the two species. The activity aimed to raise WildPosh's visibility within the pollination ecology community and to open discussion around the findings and future research directions.

The poster drew strong interest from attendees, who asked detailed questions about Osmia brevicornis in particular – including how the related semi-field study on the same species had progressed, as well as about the methodology behind the lab results.
