Gardens reduce hunger gaps for farmland pollinators! 🏡🐝 In early spring & late summer rural gardens produce 50-95% of farmland nectar, throwing pollinators a crucial lifeline. More in our @royalsociety paper with @nicktew95 and Jane Memmott: https://t.co/CsYKyeEfJo and in🧵👇
Functional traits are used in #bee ecology, but inconsistent data standards limit large-scale research. Our new paper with @MaddieOstwald & @Mlucia_Xylo presents a roadmap for standardizing bee trait data and a dataset of 1,600+ species globally.

Every size of flower has a suitably sized bee for it (except corpse flowers thankfully 🫣). These flowers were a bit too small for this Andrena but she displayed excellent maneuvering skills and got the job done. Presented in SloMoVision. [Alameda, CA 4-19-24] #bees#nativebees

Paper🚨https://t.co/pBxTeyyr5c we show how hummingbird hawkmoths visually control their proboscis when probing flower patterns. Basically: not so different from how we get our fingers to an app on our phone! But using a "tongue".
