Declining bee populations have been widely covered in the news. It is a pressing issue worldwide as one in three bites of food that we eat relies on bee pollination. A key factor that affects bees is increasing urban development as people flock to cities. As cities develop, they sprawl into their surroundings, fragmenting animal […]
Les apiculteurs français sont furieux.

L’objectif de ce stage de M2 sera d’étudier les variations morphologiques au sein d’une communauté d’abeilles sauvages au cours d’une année et entre deux périodes à un siècle d’intervalle.La pollinisation étant une interaction, elle requiert la simultanéité de la floraison et de la période de vol des pollinisateurs. Dans un contexte de perturbations climatiques qui […]
