Ground-nesting bees prefer bare ground areas on calcareous grasslands

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Although most of the wild bee species are ground-nesting, little is known about their nesting requirements and the conservation measures to promote ground-nesting bees. Calcareous grasslands are one of the most species-rich habitats in Central Europe and

A strong immune response in young adult honeybees masks their increased susceptibility to infection compared to older bees [PDF]

, 2012
Honeybees, Apis mellifera, show age-related division of labor in which young adults perform maintenance ("housekeeping") tasks inside the colony before switching to outside foraging at approximately 23 days old. Disease resistance is an important feature

A Pollen‐Enhanced Bionic Mechanoreceptor Induced by Asymmetric Ionic Convection in Hydrogel for Sensory‐Augmented Prostheses

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work proposed a pollen‐enhanced bionic mechanoreceptor based on ionic convection. Leveraging the ion anchoring effect of the pollen particle, the output performance could be ∼12 times higher than the original state. By employing deep learning models as AI brains, the feasibility of a sensory‐augmented prosthesis consisting of a pollen‐enhanced ...
