Out today in @RSocPublishing! We show that butterflies and moths accumulate so much static electricity that pollen is attracted onto them across air gaps, meaning they don't even need to make contact with the flower to pollinate it! 🦋🌻 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… 🧵👇

Our paper with @BristolBioSci shows how to measure the charge on small objects found in environmental fieldwork - or those released from acoustic levitation in the lab - using a new design of Faraday cup which encloses the sensitive electronics. doi.org/10.1016/j.elst…

@KeironDBrown @SamJakeEngland @LNHSoc @BritEntSoc Very much looking forward to your talk @SamJakeEngland, how Coulomb's Law affects arthropods on the organismal level, a potent force, the difference between life or death for those on a smaller scale!

@SamJakeEngland @ISBE2024 For me it was one of the most funny, straightforward and interesting talk out of all the presentations throughout the conference. Thank you Sam!

Just arrived in the field after the best conference I've ever been to. Thank you so much everyone who came to my talk - so many exciting ideas have spawned from the conversations! I was especially honoured to have had a few people write haikus about my work! #ISBE2024 @ISBE2024

A really beautifully illustrated and well-written article on electric ecology, including some of my recent work. So nice!

Quanta Magazine@QuantaMagazine

While the same laws of physics reign over Earth’s smallest and largest species, the balance of forces shifts with size. For a honeybee, static electricity is a certain kind of gravity. @laxmevy reports: quantamagazine.org/the-hidden-wor…

It was a pleasure chatting to @kensycoop for @ManyMindsPod about all things electric ecology. Give it a listen, I highly recommend their other episodes too!

New episode!! 📣📣 A conversation w/ @SamJakeEngland about electroreception and "electric ecology." Our world is buzzing with electricity—it forms a key part of the sensoria and ecologies of many animals. Scientists are starting to take note. Listen: disi.org/electric-ecolo…

@EntsocAmerica I believe these are actually stingless bees, probably Tetragonisca angustula :)
