Flies: The Maligned Pollinators

Описание: Join Buglife's Get the Marches Buzzing! and Dr Erica McAlister for this fascinating webinar - Flies: The Maligned Pollinators.

🪰 Flies are one of the megadiverse groups of animals but are hated, ignored or misunderstood by most. This is gradually changing with increased knowledge that many species are essential for ecosystem services, such as pollination.

Join us as we share and highlight our current knowledge about Dipteran pollinators and why we really should be paying attention to them (recorded February 25 2024).
