Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Camera traps are emerging as a useful tool for noninvasive insect monitoring; however, it remains unclear how to lure diurnal insects to traps, how to detect them upon arrival, and how camera‐based methods compare to conventional sampling. We developed a low‐cost, open‐source camera trap to monitor wild bumble bees in agricultural fields. We found that

What currency do bumble bees maximize? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 In modelling bumble bee foraging, net rate of energetic intake has been suggested as the appropriate currency. The foraging behaviour of honey bees is better predicted by using efficiency, the ratio of energetic gain to expenditure, as the currency.

With a Great Story Comes Great Responsibility: Role of Narrative in Leadership Development
New Directions for Student Leadership, Volume 2025, Issue 185, Page 81-87, Spring 2025.ABSTRACT Comic books reside uniquely within American culture.

The 2024 General Election and the Rise of Reform UK
The Political Quarterly, Volume 96, Issue 1, Page 91-101, January/March 2025.Abstract This article examines the social base of support for Reform UK. Did Nigel Farage's new party depend on the same types of ‘left behind’ voters who had previously backed UKIP? Do the results of the 2024 election suggest a hardening of the social divides that underpinned the rise of UKIP? Or has Britain's Eurosceptic and anti‐immigration movement

Bumble bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Bombus terrestris) collecting honeydew from the giant willow aphid (Hemiptera: Aphididae) [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2019 Only rarely have bumble bees (Bombus) been observed collecting honeydew from aphids (Aphididae) feeding on phloem sap. This behavior may be rare because the percentage of sugar in honeydew egested from aphids is generally well below the sugar ...

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.Our understanding of the recolonization of northwest Europe in the period leading up to the Lateglacial Interstadial relies heavily on discoveries from Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK). Gough's Cave is the richest Late Upper Palaeolithic site in the British Isles, yielding an exceptional array of human remains, stone and organic artefacts, and butchered ...

The Effect of Foraging on Bumble Bees, Bombus terrestris, Reared under Laboratory Conditions
Insects, 2020 Bumble bees are important pollinators broadly used by farmers in greenhouses and under conditions in which honeybee pollination is limited. As such, bumble bees are increasingly being reared for commercial purposes, which brings into question whether ...
