Our findings reveal that rising temperatures and reduced precipitation decrease the diversity of foraging resources across Europe, pushing many plants beyond critical limits.

Stingless #bees are key pollinators in #tropical forests, but also heavily use tree #resins! New study from 🇪🇨 Chocó led by @GemmaNydia @BeePlantChem @CiyaTheFox

@JeffOllerton @FilipiakZuza @MichaelFilipiak @LChittka @DaveGoulson A lot of lactic acid bacteria are able to degrade starch. Most bees have such in their gut microbiomes, eg Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc or Weissela. Just to add another pathway to possible utilization.

#Invasive alien species not only colonize foreign regions, but they can also carry #invasive #microbiomes on their skin and in their gut. This may pose an undiscovered threat to native ecosystems, according to a recent study. 👉https://t.co/Ojqq2gLKlE

Apply to a new PhD position open at TUM to study how pollinators and pollination are affected by the interaction between land-use and intra-specific variation in flower traits. Cool team, cool research environment as part of PII and @BExplo_research

@beescapes_au @ManuSaunders indeed! I remember us talking about that at the USC :) Good times
