Extreme weather postpones the flowering time of plants
Extreme weather events have a greater effect on flora than previously presumed. A one-month drought postpones the time of flowering of grassland and heathland plants in Central Europe by an average of...

Read moreGenetically enhancing the scent of flowers
A team of scientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has found a way to genetically enhance the scent of flowers and implant a scent in those that don't have one.Smell plays an impo...
Life Sciences | Read moreCaught in a trap: bumblebees vs. robotic crab spiders
One of the bumblebee's main predators is the crab spider. Crab spiders hunt pollinating insects like bees and butterflies by lying in wait on flowers, and are particularly difficult for their pre...
Life Sciences | Read moreNative plants can also benefit from the invasive ones
The research contradicts the hypothesis of the “floral market” whereby only the invasive flowers are seen to benefit and the native flowers are no longer visited by pollinating insects. Biolog...
Ecology, The Environment and Conservation | Read moreGlobal warming will negatively impact tropical species
At the same time, a little bit of warming may actually move certain organisms, particularly insects, in the high latitudes closer to their optimal temperature, the researchers say. "In th...
Ecology, The Environment and Conservation | Read moreDNA 'barcode' identified for plants
This gene, which can be used to identify plants using a small sample, could lead to new ways of easily cataloguing different types of plants in species-rich areas like rainforests. It could also lead ...
Life Sciences | Read moreSize and positioning of floral anthers facilitates
Unlike moths and butterflies that are often brilliantly colored to warn potential predators that they carry toxins, flowers and the fruits they produce have brilliant colors and unusual shapes because...
Life Sciences | Read moreOld enzyme learns new tricks
NRP scientists led by Professor Anne Osbourn at the John Innes Centre (Norwich, UK) in collaboration with IGER (Aberystwyth, UK) and the Institute of Plant Molecular Biology (IPMB, Université Louis Pa...
Life Sciences | Read moreWild Bees Make Honeybees Better Pollinators
"As honeybees become more scarce, it becomes more important to have better pollinators," said Sarah Greenleaf, a postdoctoral researcher at UC Davis and first author on the study.As ...
Life Sciences | Read moreSnapdragons take the evolutionary high-road
In the wild, only the plants with the most attractive flower colours are able to reproduce and thrive because the insects that pollinate them prefer certain colours. The bees that pollinate snapdragon...
Life Sciences | Read moreWild bees and the flowers they pollinate are disappearing together
Concerns have been raised for years about the loss of pollination services, but until recently most of the evidence has been restricted to a few key species or a few focal sites. To test for more gene...
Ecology, The Environment and Conservation | Read moreDiscovery in a section of amber in Teruel (Spain) of the oldest spider web with its prey in the world
The discovery was made during a palaeontological field study authorised by the Department of Cultural Heritage of the Autonomous Government of Aragon, and the fossils are kept in the collection of the...
Life Sciences | Read moreHad your morning coffee? Thank a killer bee
Smithsonian scientist shows pollination by exotic honeybees increases coffee crop yields by more than 50 percent Debunking the widely held belief that the self-pollinating shrub...
Agricultural and Forestry Science | Read moreFlower Chemicals Both Attract Friends and Deter Foes
Talk about multi-tasking. A new study reveals that in the St. John’s Wort plant, Hypericum calycinum, the same chemical not only attracts pollinating insects but also deters herbivores that po...
