These two postdoc positions look fascinating! ๐งช Do consider if fieldwork in Cameroon, Kenya and South Africa, and the evolution of social wasps, sound interesting!

A new species of bee has been identified! Megachile (Hackeriapis) lucifer (Hymenoptera, Megachilidae), has demon-like horns and visits a critically endangered flower in Australia
Kit Prendergast, the Scientist who discovered & named this far out looking bee has done much cutting edge & exciting work on AU bees
But my favorite thing sheโs done is naming a new species of bee after her dog Zephyr (Leioproctus zephyrus)

Bee with small black horns on the head.
๐New species of Australian bee just dropped! ๐
It was found during surveys of the critically endangered wildflower Marianthus aquilonarius.
Megachile lucifer is named because of the "demon-like horns" of the female.

In this study led by Carlos Herrera @cmhmaliani.bsky.social, we describe three new species of Andrena. The intensive survey over 27 years at the Cazorla range demonstrates the importance of this genus in the pollination of the flowering plant species in this area.
