We looked on the variation in pollen load and pollinator abundance during 11 years. Surprise, surprise, both are very variable, but the abundance varies more over the years than we expected, possibly driving the pattern of pollen transfer.

⚠️⚠️New paper out!⚠️⚠️

We have new paper out in which show how timing during the day can affect pollen transfer.

Remember, kids, timing matters! Even in pollination. And read our paper.

Phenology - study of the timing of seasonal biological events such as flowering, migration, and breeding, in relation to environmental conditions.

Penology - study of prison management, criminal rehabilitation, and different forms of punishment and correctional treatment.
