“#Wild bees depend on the landscape structure” Costanza Geppert sampling bees at the edge of a field full of grain. Credit: Bettina Donkó Sowing strips of wildflowers along conventional cereal fields and the increased density of flowers in organic farming encourage bumblebees as well as solitary wild bees and hoverflies. Bumblebee colonies benefit from flower…
“#Microplastic pollution accumulates heavily in coastal areas such as fjords and estuaries” Shelf and deep sea environments have generally lower micropastic flux rates than coastal environments, but high rates may occur locally where bottom currents concentrate microplastic (e.g. on drift deposits, in submarine canyons and ocean trenches; Kane et al., 2020) or beneath locations of…
“#Chanterelle mushrooms as a taste enhancer” Dr. Verena Mittermeier from the Chair of Food Chemistry and Molecular Sensory Science and Andreas Dunkel from the Leibniz-Institute for Food Systems Biology in front of their institute.

“#Plant tissue engineering improves drought and salinity tolerance” Credit: CC0 Public Domain After several years of experimentation, scientists have engineered thale cress, or Arabidopsis thaliana, to behave like a succulent, improving water-use efficiency, salinity tolerance and reducing the effects of drought. The tissue succulence engineering method devised for this small flowering plant can be used…
“#NASA catches a short-lived Eastern Pacific Depression 4E” NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite provided forecasters with a visible image of Tropical Depression 4E on June 29, 2020.

It can also be assembled with LEDs providing the optimum emission…
“#Buzzing to rebuild broken bone” Credit: CC0 Public Domain Healing broken bones could get easier with a device that provides both a scaffold for the bone to grow on and electrical stimulation to urge it forward, UConn engineers reported on June 27 in the Journal of Nano Energy. Although minor bone breaks usually heal on…
“#Study finds plastic recycling from Europe being dumped in Asian waters” New research from NUI Galway and the University of Limerick has for the first time quantified the volume of plastic from European countries (EU, UK, Switzerland and Norway) that contributes to ocean littering from exported recycling.

“#What primates can teach us about managing arguments during lockdown” The world may be reopening in some places, with people looking forward to pubs, restaurants and haircuts. Many of us will no doubt also be looking forward to some time away from home—alone—once more. Spending such prolonged time in close quarters with others puts strain…
