CURRENT AND PREVIOUS SPATIAL DISTRIBUTIONS OF OILSEED RAPE FIELDS INFLUENCE THE ABUNDANCE AND THE BODY SIZE OF A SOLITARY WILD BEE, ANDRENA CINERARIA, IN PERMANENT GRASSLANDS.

Current and previous spatial distributions of oilseed rape fields influence the abundance and the body size of a solitary wild bee, Andrena cineraria, in permanent grasslands.

Wild bees are essential pollinators whose survival partly depends on the capacity of their environment to offer a sufficient amount of nectar and pollen.Semi-natural habitats and mass-flowering crops such as oilseed rape provide abundant floristic resources for bees.The aim of this study was to evaluate the influences of the spatial distribution of

On the Interpretation of Nonresonant Phenomena at Colliders

With null results in resonance searches at the LHC, the physics potential focus is now shifting towards the interpretation of nonresonant phenomena.An example of such shift is the increased popularity of the EFT programme.We can embark on such programme owing to the good integrated luminosity and an excellent understanding of the detectors, which w

Early Career Researchers between Predatory Publishing and Academic Excellence: The Views and Behaviours of the Millennials

The paper draws on evidence of predatory publishing obtained from the 4 year-long Harbingers research study of the changing scholarly communication attitudes and behaviour of early career researchers (ECRs).The project Repair Rescue Shampoo featured longitudinal interviews for its first 3 years with 116 ECRs researching science and social sciences
