Research on the link between the health of bees populations and different potentially explanatory variables in a spatially explicit way for Belgium Ghent University
Bees are honey producers, but above all they play an essential role in maintaining good biodiversity because they are one of the most important pollinators of many plant species. For example, 80% of pollination should be due to bees activity (source: European Commission). However, throughout the world, increased mortality is observed among bees populations (both in honey bees and in wild bees). Bee experts, scientists and governments around ...

Single and combined effects of warming and predator-induced stress in an aquatic insect: from physiology to ecosystem functions KU Leuven
There is increasing awareness that predators not only affect prey through direct consumption, but also without consuming them through ‘fear’ effects. These fear effects, which may even be stronger than direct consumption, operate through physiological stress in the prey. While the general stress response is well-documented in vertebrates, the underlying mechanisms and consequences remain poorly known in invertebrates. By using the damselfly ...
