Varga-Szilay's research
@vargaszilay.bsky.social
My research focuses on the anthropogenic effects on bumblebee behaviour, providing me with deep involvement in pollinator ecology, including fieldwork and related fields of study. #ecology #pollinators #gardening 🐝 https://vargaszilay.hu/
📢 NEW PAPER 📢
I am excited to share our latest article, entitled 'Improving biodiversity in Central and Eastern European gardens needs regionally scaled strategies', which has just been published in Urban Forestry & Urban Greening and is now available online ⬇️

Yesterday was the first Bombus-Lotus fieldwork day in this year 🎥🐝
Thanks to Alexandra, Guillaume, and Ricardo for carrying out the data collection this year, helping to ensure the continuity of the study that @pozsgaig.bsky.social and I have been running for four years now.

How AI can support animal behavioural studies 💡
Have a look at how we tracked the bumblebees' flight paths with AI on a flowering Lotus creticus patch. 👀🐝

How AI can support animal behavioural studies 💡
👀 Field observations on a flowering Lotus creticus patch have shown that within a relatively small quadrat (60 × 90 cm), up to 5–7 (or more) bumblebees may be foraging simultaneously. 🐝
