Patterns of change in floral color and odor of Lonicera calcarata are in relation to pollinator behavior
Lonicera calcarata flowers change from white through yellow to orange-red. Pollinators favor prechange flowers, guided by color cues. Floral odor mainly comprised fatty acids, monoterpenes, and peake...

80% of our food crops and wild flowering plants depend on pollination.

Yet one-third of bee, butterfly and hoverfly species is in decline.

Our new EU Pollinator Monitoring Scheme aims to help reverse this trend by 2030.

More info: link.europa.eu/Jb7pBQ
Graphic resembling a rebus puzzle. On the left is a yellow Uno ‘reverse’ card labeled ‘REVERSE.’ In the center are several pollinators—including a bat, butterfly, wasp, bumblebee, and monarch butterfly—labeled ‘POLLINATOR.’ On the right is a red downward-zigzag arrow labeled ‘DECLINE.’ In the bottom-right corner is the flag of the European Union. The full message reads: ‘Reverse pollinator decline.’

Red Mason Bee (Osmia bicornis): 12mm (0.47in).This is a species of mason bee, and is known as the red mason bee due to its covering of dense gingery hair. Amazing photo taken by Laura Corkindale of a Mason bee female laying eggs and filling the cavity with food in Hampshire, UK 🐝 #redmasonbee #bee

Masked bees (Hymenoptera: Colletidae: Hylaeus spp.) spend a lot of time collecting pollen for their young, like this one on a sulphur cinquefoil (Rosaceae: Potentilla recta). They lack the transport hairs most bees have and carry it in a secondary "honey stomach." Clayton Michigan, 27 Jun 2014.

Hoverflies (family Syrphidae): As their common name suggests, these important Pollinators are often seen hovering or nectaring at flowers. They are the second most important pollinator after Bees. Lovely photo taken by Richard Burkmar in Middlesex, UK. #hoverfly #hoverflies #wildlife #pollinators

Next week in the EU-Parliament (11.11.2025, 13:30-15), we will discuss the future of sustainable farming in Europe and the alignment or non-alignment of the CAP with sustainability criteria, based on @agtransect.bsky.social and #CAP4GI.
Announcement of the event on 11.11.2025, 13:30-15:00 in the EU- Parliament "How can the CAP drive sustainable farming practices: Voices from farmers and science, and an evaluation of the CAP proposal"

‼️🚨My first PhD paper out in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social

We built an automated camera system to detect plant–pollinator interactions (day & night) and compared networks from cameras vs. focal observations.
