🕯️💡Our new study illuminates the mystery of why insects swarm around lights! Turns out, it's not attraction, but disorientation - insects mistake artificial lights for the sky and spiral around them. FIU Nat Geo Explorers Imperial Dragonfly Lab Florida Museum nature.com/articles/s4146…
A study co-led by Jeff Riffell (BIO) and Joel Thornton (ATMS) suggested that the presence of nitrate radicals (NO3) degrades common wildflowers’ scent molecules, reducing the flowers’ attractiveness to pollinating insects. Read more about it here: washington.edu/news/2024/02/0…

Nighttime pollinator activity is dropping - and people are largely to blame. Research co-led by Jeff Riffell published in Science Magazine shows that nitrate radicals in the air degrade scent chemicals released by a common wildflower. More in UW News: tinyurl.com/v4f77jk4
Scientists at Jeff Riffell UW Biology and UW Atmospheric and Climate Science have discovered that nighttime air pollution — coming primarily form car exhaust and power plant emissions — is responsible for a major drop in nighttime pollinator activity. washington.edu/news/2024/02/0…
I am honored to be a #SloanFellow! Thank you Sloan Foundation for your support! It is so awesome to be in a cohort with my BU colleagues Chuanfei Dong (BU Astronomy Dept) and Hadi T. Nia (BU Engineering). It has been a joy to start my lab at BU alongside so many inspiring junior PIs!
