Bees get ~0.07°C hotter for every mg of pollen they carry, making loaded bees about 2°C hotter than unloaded bees. Read the full #BiologyLetters paper - Larger pollen loads increase risk of heat stress in foraging bumblebees ow.ly/CLlY50OuAML | #climatechange #bumblebees

Why do parasites sometimes become deadly? Find out about parasite-associated mortality in birds and the roles specialist parasites and host evolutionary distance play, in new #BiologyLetters paper -ow.ly/fIuQ50IIE89 #avian #malaria #parasite #EEID2023

Moonlight plays a central role in animal biology and #artificiallightatnight (ALAN) disrupts #nocturnal processes, but few studies link these two. In this #BiologyLetters paper, #ALAN is found to reverse monthly foraging patterns under simulated moonlight ow.ly/jTXu50K9oYl
