Congratulations to @Doug_Being_Doug for passing his PhD viva with minor corrections! Doug studied the chemical ecology of buzz pollination and did fieldwork in Mexico. Thanks to examiners Heather Whitney, @ZarahPattison and co-supervisors Matt Tinsley and @SarkinenTiina !

Congratulations *Dr* @allan_audsley - 4 years in the making. It’s been a pleasure working with you!

@nicrodemo @carlos_coquinho @buzzpollination @PlantEcoEvo_UU Thanks Mario! 🐝

[Mario Vallejo-Marin @nicrodemo]

Congrats @lucynevard and @carlos_coquinho for papers on buzz pollination! Lucy studied effects of floral orientation on pollen release:

Carlos tested whether buzzing works better or worse on non-poricidal flowers:

Discovering how ArcPro can create great visuals and help communicate research with help from the teachings of @John_M_Nelson! His fantastic Challenger Deep tutorial was the inspiration behind this figure showing pockmarks formed by gas escaping through the seabed.

[Allan Audsley @allan_audsley]

Excited to have begun my new role as GIS technical specialist @StirUni. Supporting the great research and amazing teaching here. Looking forward to all the stunning maps we'll produce!🗺️

My latest preLight is here - I really enjoyed reading and summarising this great preprint on ant foraging and reward value perception! 🐜💰🍬

Big step for research on social be(e)havior: pan-neuronal expression of a genetically encoded calcium sensor in the honey bee brain.

@DrAverbee @nicrodemo @StirUni Thanks so much Avery! 🥳

[Lucy Nevard @lucynevard]

Thanks so much Mario, and everyone for being
a fantastic Buzz Team! @Doug_Being_Doug, @carlos_coquinho, @jurene_kemp, @dj_pritchard86

It's been a great few years - really going to miss those spiny Solanum!😉

[Mario Vallejo-Marin @nicrodemo]

Congratulations to @lucynevard for being awarded her PhD today @StirUni stay tuned for more of her buzz pollination papers and keep an eye out her science communication writing. Well done Lucy!

[Mario Vallejo-Marin @nicrodemo]

Using a bit of glue to create anther cones in Solanum flowers, and lasers to measure vibrations, we show that cones increase vibration transmission and pollen release in these buzz pollinated flowers. Our #OpenAccess paper is now out in @journal_evo. https://t.co/2UXmsmVdwE

[Avery Russell @draverbee.bsky.social @DrAverbee]

V. excited our work's in @RSocPublishing! Old q in #BuzzPollination is why flowers are tuned outside range of #bee buzzes. We find if bee weight considered, vibration frequency IS tuned! Led by Mark Jankauski, w/ Riggs Ferguson, Steve Buchmann, & myself https://t.co/hTUjWccTcS

[Allan Audsley @allan_audsley]

After 4 years I am glad to say that I have finally submitted my PhD thesis. Even better I got to submit it alongside my wonderful partner @lucynevard .

[Agnes Dellinger @the_kunsze]

Working on #pollination, #pollen transfer, #floral traits and how they link? Consider submitting to our special issue 'Pollen as the link between phenotype and fitness' at American Journal of Botany (@Botanical_ )!

[Vini Brito @viniduartina]

Stamen dimorphic species have larger and more variable petals than stamen isomorphic ones. They also interact with more bee species, being more generalists!
Have a look on the recent work of Valadão-Mendes et al. https://t.co/KjKgIXCMqj
