Scientists now know that bees can process time, a first in insects

Bumblebees can process the duration of flashes of light and use the information to decide where to look for food, a new study has found.

A tiny wasp species just flipped the script on reproduction β€” and it might revolutionize pest control. #Biocontrol #InsectScience #SustainableFarming

Asexual Wasps That Mate Could Transform Pest Control | Geekoo

They were thought to be strictly asexual. Then they started mating β€” and could revolutionize natural pest control.

2. Royal Entomological Society Grand Challenges - what can the society do, to better support both fundamental science in entomology, and human-insect interactions in science? Discussions about taxonomy skills, data sets, AI and technology, and improving the communication between scientists and industry (e.g. farmers, growers, extension officers).
All good stuff.

NeoBiota https://neobiota.pensoft.net/ the journal which I have the pleasure and honour of being chief editor for the past 14 years, increased its Scopus CiteScore for the third consecutive year to now 8.1 (the journal's all-time high). This means we are in Q1 of #AnimalScience and #Zoology; #InsectScience; #AquaticScience; Ecology, #Evolution, Behavior and #Systematics; #PlantScience; #Ecology; and #EcologicalModelling.

NeoBiota

NeoBiota is a peer-reviewed, open access, online journal launched to accelerate research on alien species and biological invasions: aquatic and terrestrial, animals, plants, fungi and micro-organisms. The journal is a continuation of the former NEOBIOTA publication series. NeoBiota publishes papers across all disciplines interested in biological invasions, specifically on the ecology, evolution and biogeography of non-indigenous aquatic and terrestrial animals, plants, fungi and micro-organisms, on mechanisms that drive the introduction, establishment and spread of these species, on ecological, evolutionary, economic and other consequences of biological invasions, and on the management of invasions in any part of the world. The journal also strongly encourages papers on ethical, social, legal and policy issues related to biological invasions.
