Data collected over the last 100 years in northern Finland demonstrates drastic changes pollinator species linked to climate change.
Results for "pollinators"
Common plants and pollinators act as anchors for ecosystems
New study finds “generalist” plants and pollinators play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity and may also serve as buffers against some impacts of climate change.
The threat beneath our feet: How soil microbes are losing the battle against crop disease
Just like our gut has helpful microbes, so too does the soil around plant roots. But what happens when antibiotics disrupt this balance?
A living biosensor helps track honeybee health
First living biosensor developed to study honeybee gut microbiome, providing insights into health and conservation.
How sunflower pollen protects bees from pathogens
Planting sunflowers in pollinator habitats can boost bee health by providing them with pollen that protects against intestinal pathogens.
Farmers help create powerful, open-source spatial model to save bumblebees
The tool lets researchers, farmers, policymakers, and other interested parties test different land management techniques to find out which ones and where could be most beneficial for bees.
Nature can adjust to a new climate, though perhaps not fast enough
Nature is widely adapted to the current climate, making it harder to adjust to a new one.
With a little nudge, bumblebees speed up flowering
If bumblebees find too little pollen, they pierce the leaves of non-flowering plants in order to force them to produce flowers more quickly.
Renewable energy from wildflowers for a more sustainable bioeconomy
A growing bioeconomy requires increasing amounts of biomass from residues, wastes, and industrial crops for bio‐based products and energy.
Bacteria engineered to protect bees from pests and pathogens
Using bacteria to combat varroa mites, a common pest that can weaken honey bees and make them more susceptible to pathogens.
