New publication - National records of 3000 European bee and hoverfly species: A contribution to pollinator conservation

An article has been published with the participation of the FLOWer lab with the species lists of all European countries for bees and flower flies! The survey was carried out by experts from all over Europe and included more than 3,000 species! It is a very important basis for the study and conservation of pollinators in Europe!
For Portugal, between replacements, removals and additions, it puts the number of species at 740 for bees and 221 for flower flies!
