Last night I unknowingly shared my bed with 40 spiders 😂 While away for fieldwork a Mason wasp has been busy building her nest under the duvet cover… #spiderlove

Our new paper is out today in @NatureComms - eat the right bacteria to boost your memory. Works if you're a bee 🙂 https://t.co/z8u7QTiUlM

@dr_andy_wilcox @EntoProf @HarperAdamsUni Very sad to hear this, my condolences. Simon was an inspiration to many!

We’ve been enjoying a bumper-crop of native kōwhai ngutu-kākā/ kākābeak (Clianthus puniceus) flowers for weeks now but the tūī have only just discovered it. They are feeling pretty pleased with themselves! Exciting to finally see some action for this bird pollinated plant…

Our #openaccess paper on #moths as potential #pollinators in #avocado orchards is now available online! These #nocturnal insects might be more valuable than we think 🦋🥑@D_Pattemore @plantandfood https://t.co/Wyycud6LDf

@ManuSaunders Fantastic news - congratulations Manu : )

JOBS and Postgraduate Scholarships! We are looking for a research assistant, postdoc, Masters and PhD students for pollination-related projects. Unfortunately due to current travel restrictions these are limited to Australian and New Zealand residents.

Nice to see this published - last paper from my PhD! Bees that were able to learn an olfactory task continued collecting pollen or nectar for more days - better supporting their colony. See thread 👇 🐝🌸

New @FrontEcolEvol paper by Dr @LisaEvansNZ found that #bumblebees able to learn to use a particular scent as a predictor of food rewards also had a longer foraging career & brought in more food (nectar & pollen) to their colony: https://t.co/3zdp1psf5N

Introducing my first sole author paper 😱 combining my past work in #bee cognition and new work into native #Australian bees to produce a paper on ecologically relevant learning in a non-eusocial wild bee species:

Alsomitra macrocarpa has seeds which use paper-thin wings to disperse like giant gliders. The seeds, which are produced by a football-sized pod, can glide hundreds of metres across the forest [read more: https://t.co/V74QJ8mvzQ] [full video: https://t.co/0cwEY0TevC

Don’t forget - Wild Pollinator count starts tomorrow and runs until the 18th. So get out there and get counting! #ozpollinators

@felicitymuth I’ve noticed this too : ) and also their annoyed buzz when they are expecting sucrose but find water!
