Identifying Genetic Differences Underlying Pollination Syndromes in Wildflowers

Recent research led by Carolyn Wessinger at the University of South Carolina, USA, and colleagues discovered that substantial variations in flower traits among wildflowers, driven by different pollinators, can be attributed to a select set of crucial genetic distinctions.

Study Highlights Potential Causes for Changing Foraging Habits of Bumblebees

A new study highlights potential causes for changing foraging habits of bumblebees. Using advanced molecular techniques called pollen metabarcoding, researchers investigated interactions between bumblebees and plants in Cuxhaven, Germany, and how they changed over 60 years.

Omega-3 Rich Oil Shows Promise in Protecting Honey Bees from Neonicotinoids

New research suggests that the use of an omega-3 rich oil called "ahiflower oil" can prevent damage to honey bee mitochondria caused by neonicotinoid pesticides.

Including more women in decision-making could help farmers improve conservation and production

When a family of five-ton elephants stomps and chomps its way through your crops, there's only one winner. And in the central African nation of Gabon, farmers are getting fed up with the giant animals trampling their fields-;and their livelihoods.

Research substantiates that complex behaviors are seldom entirely innate

Social learning plays an important role in a honey bee's ability to "waggle dance," report researchers, who observed that honey bees not exposed to the dances of older, more experienced nestmates produced disordered dances full of errors. The findings demonstrate that social learning shapes this complex form of insect communication, just as it does in humans, birds, and other social vertebrate species. The waggle dance is a behavior that honey bee foragers use to communicate spatial information about the precise location of a food source to other nestmates.
