Beyond climate change, the planet faces several other environmental challenges that are at
least as threatening, such as the loss of biodiversity. In each case, the problems are driven …

Most terrestrial animals naturally accumulate electrostatic charges, meaning that they will
generate electric forces that interact with other charges in their environment, including those …

The atmosphere hosts multiple sources of electric charge that influence critical processes
such as the aggregation of droplets and the removal of dust and aerosols. This is evident in …

Predators and prey benefit from detecting sensory cues of each other's presence. As they
move through their environment, terrestrial animals accumulate electrostatic charge …

With increasing evidence of electroreception in terrestrial arthropods, an understanding of
receptor level processes is vital to appreciating the capabilities and limits of this sense …

The contribution of wild pollinators and input-based management practices during
production of underutilized crop such as okra are pivotal for enhancing sustainable food …

Background Pollinating insects provide economically and ecologically valuable services, but
are threatened by a variety of anthropogenic changes. The availability and quality of floral …

Increasing empirical evidence suggests that many terrestrial arthropods, such as bees,
spiders and butterflies, sense electric fields in their environments. This relatively newly …

Although insects are the most varied class of creatures on the planet, research on them has
always been challenging due to their tiny size and variety. The ecology and monitoring of …
