Vibrating flowers uses huge amounts of energy, forcing bees to choose which plants to visit and affecting which ones are pollinated

Urban agriculture depends on insect pollination, but knowledge gaps persist due to difficulties accessing diverse growing spaces. We developed a citizen science approach for monitoring insect visits ...

In praise of digging for potatoes.

Bees rely on amino acids from nectar and pollen for essential physiological functions. While nectar typically contains low (less than 1 mM) amino acid concentrations, levels in pollen are higher but variable (10–200 mM). Behavioural studies suggest ...

Flowers have long been suggested to be infection hotspots for pollinator diseases, as, during their brief lifespan, they are visited and handled by many individuals from a diverse range of species. Ev...

Today the UK Government have paused all new applications from farmers to access England’s flagship green farming scheme.

While regenerative agriculture might seem like a pioneering new approach, this term isn’t new. Here’s how it differs from organic.

The metabolic rate of an organism is intrinsically linked to key traits such as reproductive output and lifespan. While the drivers of individual differences in metabolic rate are poorly understood, p...

Bees rely on amino acids obtained from nectar and pollen for essential physiological functions, including maintenance, sexual maturation, and larval development. While amino acid concentrations in nec...
