Vacancy : Sculpture for solitary bees
This is a project that focuses on building awareness for solitary bees and how we can use public sculptures/artifacts to help and to create a positive vision of the future through art, design,science and to promote bio diversity. A lot of modern techniques like 3D modeling, 3D printing, and CNC milling were used to bring this artifact to life.

Desynchronizations in bee–plant interactions cause severe fitness losses in solitary bees [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2017 Abstract Global warming can disrupt mutualistic interactions between solitary bees and plants when increasing temperature differentially changes the timing of interacting partners. One possible scenario is for insect phenology to advance more rapidly than plant phenology.

Materials Representation Learning Based on a Material–Motif Network and Heterogeneous Graphs
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.Structure motifs in materials are used to construct a bipartite material–motif network that links each material to its constituent motifs and establishes connectivity among materials sharing common motifs. Network analysis reveals material clusters associated with different functional applications and supports motif‐guided screening of materials.

Are Botanical Biopesticides Safe for Bees (Hymenoptera, Apoidea)?
Insects, 2023 The recent global decline in insect populations is of particular concern for pollinators. Wild and managed bees (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) are of primary environmental and economic importance because of their role in pollinating cultivated and wild plants ...

Hilgardia, 1958 Bees play an important and necessary role in the pollination of agricultural crops grown for fruit and seed and of forage and browse plants important in range management for production of both livestock and game animals. Nearly 20,000 different kinds of bees are now known, some, like the imported honey bee, the bumble bees ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The ray‐finned fishes include one out of every two species of living vertebrates on Earth and have an abundant fossil record stretching 380 million years into the past. The division of systematic knowledge of ray‐finned fishes between paleontologists working on extinct animals and neontologists studying extant species has obscured the ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Intraspecific variation in social organization (IVSO) within primate populations can arise due to male mating competition. Verreaux's sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi) populations exhibit both single‐male and multi‐male groups, providing an opportunity to examine the relationship between male competitive ability and social organization.
