Back from the XXXV SItE National Congress in Genoa, where I presented the #UrbanBEE project and the role of citizen science in fostering inclusion, awareness and #stewardship of urban nature! 🐝🏙️🌿

Happy to have completed the Citizen Science in Global Health course! 🎓✨

A valuable opportunity to deepen my knowledge of participatory research, with new perspectives especially relevant to my work on UrbanBEE and biodiversity research 🐝🌿

We are excited to announce that #Behaviour2027 (XXXIX International Ethological Congress) will be taking place in Vienna, Austria! We are looking forward to having you all join us next year from August 23-27.

Please follow and share!

New White Paper warns #Europe of risking a crisis if it fails to halt pollinator loss
Paper also offers a solution: a roadmap to reverse #wild #pollinator #decline and protect managed bees.

New paper out! 🐦🎉

The call for abstracts for #ECCB26 is now open!

Researchers, policymakers + practitioners are invited to submit their abstracts for oral presentations, posters, or speed talks by 15 Feb, 2026.

We hope to see you in Leiden!

It was a real pleasure to present at #XXIICIO, raising awareness about #inequalities in #biodiversity access and sharing a preview of my #PhD project! 🌍🐝🐦‍⬛
Great conference, inspiring people, hope to see you all again soon!

Such a great experience presenting the UrBio project at #EOU25!🌿 Always exciting to show how #CitizenScience can improve species detectability, support research, and engage people in discovering and protecting our #Nature! 🐦‍⬛ #UrbanEcology #Conservation

New study tests #landsparing vs. #landsharing in six Italian cities: #bird diversity declines with #urban density, while disservices rise. Sparing wins for forest birds—protect #urbangreenspaces at the fringe!

Back from the NbS Italy Hub, where we presented the UrbanBEE project exploring urban biodiversity across neighbourhoods in the cities involved. Thanks to data from our volunteers, we showed how NbS—like bee hotels—can reconnect people with nature and help make cities more resilient! 🌍💚

Just back from the Forum Nazionale della Biodiversità 2025 (NBFC) at Milano-Bicocca! We brought contributions on species distribution models, citizen science in cities, bioacoustics, fine-scale urban variables and the luxury effect, of course. 🌍🦋🎧 #urbanecology @birdlabtorino.bsky.social

Turning cities into havens for bees: #UrbanBEE deploys solitary bee hotels across cities across Africa and Europe, blending urban biodiversity research with citizen science to understand and promote pollinator populations and environmental custodianship. #BiodivNBS

I’m thrilled to share the launch of the UrbanBEE website! 🐝🌍 Check it out at www.myurbanbee.com. This first month has been intense, but we’ve already connected with many citizen science enthusiasts—and distributed 30 bee hotels in Turin! Excited to see what’s next! 🚀💛 #UrbanBEE #CitizenScience #Bees

Super happy for the arrival of the bee hotels for the UrbanBEE project launch! 🐝 How cute are they? Solitary bees, we’re ready for you! 🌿✨

At BirdLabTorino, we focus on:
🌄 Mountain Ecology: Northern Wheatear's ecology, impacts of avalanches & skiing, climate-driven shifts.
🏙️ Urban Ecology: Uncovering urban biodiversity, impacts of alien species, and fostering citizen science.
