Researchers introduce a quick-assessment tool for insect outreach drawers based on five criteria: information, relevance, aesthetics, potential for engagement, and inspiration. 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/nhcm... @entiminae.bsky.social @universityofkansas.bsky.social

Over winter break, KU BioGEM scholar Liam Wrixon and I joined Smithsonian scientist Bill Wcislo in Panama to study nocturnal pollinators. Our research took us to Barro Colorado Island in the Panama Canal, and Fortuna, a cloud forest near Costa Rica. Here are some highlights!

How do #bees cope with multiple stressors under climate change? Check our latest study exploring the effects of desiccation & starvation on bee heat tolerance, conducted on the beautiful island of #Lesbos, #Greece. Read more: doi.org/10.1242/jeb.24… #ClimateChange #pollinators

Join us for our next undergraduate research experience program in Colombia! 🇨🇴 We will work on projects investigating how climate and landscape changes affect plant-pollinator interactions in one of the world’s most biodiverse regions. 🐝 #Bees #NSF Apply now! biodiversity.ku.edu/nsf-ires-tro...

Great job #KU students presenting amazing results on the biogeography, diversity and thermal tolerance of #pollinators ! #EntSoc23 @NunezPenichet @MottaBees @KU_EEB @KUbiology @kunhm @ResearchAtKU

Looking forward yo it #EntSoc23! Sharing info on some talks of thermal biology, bee monitoring, phylogeography and #evolution!
