Amazing octopus stretching its tentacles to form a huge balloon filmed by EVNautilus at a depth of around 1,600 meters (5,250 feet).

Movie time with Lucía Aguilar Benavides & Dario Guevara Plata! 🍿

We’ve been treated to a fabulous overview of their work at @beaslab in Colombia 🇨🇴

Their “Bombinario” provides a unique opportunity for outreach! Very impressive! #ECN2024

A great Christmas present. Finally in print! @Natcastle_ @ElBoroJoJo_ @beaslab @RubenDaroMartn2 @NicolsRengifo2

Exciting morning! Our paper on the thermal tolerance of nocturnal #bees and the implications for nocturnal #pollination is published. Great collaboration with @stri_panama @EEB_KU @kunhm @ResearchAtKU @KUbiology @mmlopezu https://t.co/ULhuSdvydp

BOMBUSS 3.0 - in beautiful San Cristobal to learn about lots of exciting progress from a really fun group of people

I am looking forward to the upcoming #EntSoc2023 meeting!

Nuestros estudiantes @HaroldPulido15 y @Dgplata1997 participaron en el XIII Congreso Mesoamericano de Abejas Nativas. Un gran espacio de enriquecimiento y reencuentro con antiguos miembros del grupo @NicolsRengifo2

Project 3 - Does variation in body and appendage size across elevation and temperature gradients in bee communities? We found strong correlation indicating that species richness decreases, body size increases and appendages decrease with elevation https://t.co/ufOttLJNSo

[Margarita Lopez-Uribe @mmlopezu]

Project 4 - Can raspberry pis be implemented to study foraging behavior in social bees? Yes! This technology was successfully implemented and we found support suggesting that larger bumble bees start foraging earlier than smaller bees in the same colony https://t.co/4Ea4ecaS7Z

[Margarita Lopez-Uribe @mmlopezu]

Project 1 - How does shade impact plant vegetative, reproductive, and floral traits?
We found that blueberries and strawberries benefit from shade (for vegetative, reproductive and photosynthetic traits)

[Margarita Lopez-Uribe @mmlopezu]

Project 2 - Does variation in body size and color offer an advantage to bees across elevation and temperature gradients?
We found that color and body size help with thermoregulation but size is more important for social bees and color for solitary bees https://t.co/KwQamG6QJs

We had the great opportunity today to give a presentation to the 10th graders of Colegio San Isidrio from Cajica. #NSFIRES students talked about climate change and pollination and results of their research projects this summer @beaslab @lamilitar @lopezuribelab @AgSciResearch

Conversatorio Viendo la Ciencia a través del Arte @lamilitar @CienciaSumerce

[Margarita Lopez-Uribe @mmlopezu]

Getting ready for our final presentations next week! Looking forward to sharing all the amazing science we worked this summer! #NSF @lopezuribelab @beaslab @lamilitar

We've been catching an amazing diversity of bees! The orchid bee traps baited with various chemical lures have captured so many cool bees and we are learning a lot about the changes in bee communities across Colombia 🇨🇴 🐝 @beaslab @ColombianComPSU

Our @NSF #IRES course has begun! We are excited and getting ready for a summer of research related to #bees, #plants and #pollination @PSU_Entomology @NashTurley @lopezuribelab
