MONITORING FLOWER VISITATION NETWORKS AND INTERACTIONS BETWEEN PAIRS OF BUMBLE BEES IN A LARGE OUTDOOR FLIGHT CAGE.

Monitoring Flower Visitation Networks and Interactions between Pairs of Bumble Bees in a Large Outdoor Flight Cage.

Pollinators, such as bees, often develop multi-location routes (traplines) to exploit subsets of flower patches within larger plant populations.How individuals establish such foraging areas in the presence of other foragers is poorly explored.Here we investigated the foraging patterns of pairs of bumble bees (Bombus terrestris) released sequentiall

A Data-Driven Justification for Dedicated Dynamic Pricing for Residences-Based Plug-in Electric Vehicles in Wind Energy-Rich Electricity Grids

Supply curtailment in wind energy-rich electricity grids occurs when electric energy supply exceeds demand.Grid-level energy storage assets with the potential for storing the excess electric energy generated from wind are yet cost-prohibitive and prone to inefficiencies.An alternative for managing this excess energy is the targeted charging of avai
