Along with butterflies, birds, and bats, bees reign supreme as the queens of pollinator studies, with huge amounts of money and time spent each year trying to understand everything about their biology, from how they choose which flowers to visit, to the structure <a href='https://www.biodiversityinfocus.com/blog/2015/04/22/whos-really-pollen-their-weight/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not often that flies make headlines, and when they do it&#8217;s usually in a negative connotation (malaria, mosquitoes, black flies, etc). A new paper published Tuesday in PLoS ONE (Core et al, 2011) is certainly not helping this Detrimental Diptera Dillema (DDD), announcing that a species of scuttle fly (Phoridae) has been discovered parasitizing <a href='https://www.biodiversityinfocus.com/blog/2012/01/04/the-good-the-bad-and-the-zombees/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>
