🌼 Herbivory disrupts plant–pollinator relationships in ways that depend on the type of tissue and the type of damage. This highlights the ecological and evolutionary links between herbivores, pollinators and plant traits. (9/9)

Beetles, some of the earliest pollinators, are naturally drawn to the rich scent and vibrant hues of flowers like the Blue Lotus.

🌸Their visits help plants reproduce, symbolizing the ancient bond between nature’s colors, scents,and life itself.

Really proud of Cedric. It's been a fantastic project, piloting some super cool novel methods in #PollinationEcology and providing new insights into crop #pollination in legume systems. Cedric worked incredibly hard collecting all the data.

Thanks also to Angela Mkindi at NM-AIST in Tanzania!

Honeybees collect pollen from the buzz-pollinated flowers of invasive Solanum elaeagnifolium in Northern Greece Around 6% of flowering plants, including most solanaceous species, have flowers specialized for buzz-pollination (sonication). The poricidal anthers of these flowers release pollen in response to freq...

This likely reflects pollen scarcity in the dry Mediterranean summer, and may reshape invasion dynamics.

Hi! I'm looking for research opportunities in Canada.
My interest lies in pollination ecology, bee conservation, and sustainable agriculture. If you know of any opportunities or potential collaborations, I’d love to connect!

Can honeybees be used to detect rare plants? We used an eDNA approach applied to a weed eradication program and revealed that this method has considerable potential.
