Just wrapped up a fabulous #BES2023 conference British Ecological Society with some great science from the Campbell Lab and Plants, Photosynthesis and Soil, incl Upuli Wickramaarachchi Hannah Rachael Haw, Abby Barton, and alum @em_ellis_. #chemicalecology #insects #tacos

Really thrilled to present our last work on how pollinator interactions can inform us of their ability to persist in the field under a changing environment! nature.com/articles/s4155… Beautiful research in collaboration with iBartomeus, Oscar Godoy and Curro Molina , at Estación Biológica de Doñana - CSIC

Shout-outs to Molly Moseley 🐝 & Agnes Chan, who recently presented their amazing work in the lab in the The University of Sheffield Undergraduate Research Experience (#SURE) supervised by Plants, Photosynthesis and Soil PhDs Upuli Wickramaarachchi and Hannah. Special congrats to Agnes, who won top poster prize!🏅🎉🐛

Bumblebees are learning complex tasks from each other, like opening secret boxes!  This bee-haviour is changing what we know about insect intelligence. Dr Dr Alice Bridges and Prof Lars Chittka explain their discovery in this video. #Bees #SocialLearning youtube.com/watch?v=jg3U8S…

Insects in the Botanic Garden! The University of Sheffield researchers held Sheffield's 1st BugFest2024 yesterday, showcasing insect diversity and insect science from Plants, Photosynthesis and Soil and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Hundreds of people stopped by the event, part of Royal Entomological Society #InsectWeek 🦋🐞🦟 Friends of the Botanical Gardens, Sheffield

Our paper on how biting helps during buzz pollination is free to read. Thanks to @UU_University for providing open access fees. Buzz-pollinating bees deliver thoracic vibrations to flowers through periodic biting: Current Biology cell.com/current-biolog…

Blown away by this amazing collaboration with artist ZoeGenders and Dan Conway, highlighting some of our work on plant-insect interactions and insect diversity! Check out this massive elephant hawkmoth! Was a great experience with the Festival of the Mind! Science at Sheffield Plants, Photosynthesis and Soil

How to Efficiently Conduct a Drought Experiment? Physiological measurements, such as growth, transpiration, and water potential, are strongly recommended to assess stress levels. These occupy a higher place in the response hierarchy and are typically the first to show changes.

Plants are not just passive victims of the organisms that feed on them They have evolved direct & indirect defenses Glandular trichomes produce & secrete substances that protect the plant from pests like thrips as shown in the video by Popowski et al. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
