@UWBiology students recently visited the University of Washington Biology Greenhouse to learn about variations of pollination. They learned about many pollination interactions that benefit both the plants and pollinators (mutualistic interactions) and examples of wild exceptions.

Why do some female hummingbirds mimic males? New research from @UW and @CarnegieMellon shows they do it to reduce aggression and access more nectar. @ecophysicslab @UWBiology @burkemuseum More: https://t.co/INVsf6NpkY

Leydon, Nemhauser et al. @UWBiology show that corepressors in the TPL/TBL1-type family prime genes for rapid activation by facilitating assembly of the #transcription preinitation complex, including TFIID and SPT proteins. https://t.co/1sKoovOlrR

“You may be a young bird without much food, so you’re going to look elsewhere. You’ve got to continue to swim until you find food," said Dee Boersma @UWBiology. “But this is the furthest north I’ve heard of an emperor penguin.” https://t.co/QzJCOzdufr

Scientists from @UW, @aberdeenuni & @UniJaveriana used tiny “backpack” trackers on hummingbirds in the Colombian Andes to reveal hidden movement patterns. This data could guide conservation efforts in the Chingaza National Natural Park region. More: https://t.co/VCypM0bo8z

A research team led by @RiffellLab @UWBiology @UWArtSci discovered that male mosquitos activate their eyes & visually search for mates when hearing female wingbeats. This finding could lead to improved malaria control & help develop precision drone flight. https://t.co/oiswK72NI2
