1/6 - As people are traveling to #EntSoc2022 in Vancouver I wanted to take the opportunity to advertize the talk of my #PhD student Robert Ostrom. Using #HoneyBee #WaggleDances as #BioIndicators he is trying to predict native #bee #abundance, #richness and #diversity.

Honey bee foragers that have found a profitable resource will perform waggle dances when back in the hive. This was first scientifically described by Karl von Frisch (reviewed here: https://rdcu.be/cZvHq).

The dance legacy of Karl von Frisch

Trying out mastodon. Looking for Entomology and general Science content. Toots will probably mostly reflect my work.
