@cmhmaliani Thrips are typically seen as a pest but can be important pollinators too - our recent paper here providing evidence of chemical drivers of Thrips:Elder interactions alongside some other examples. https://t.co/Wi4DSpbztM
@ClementLarue1 @JeffOllerton @PetitRmy1 I’d be interested to know if you thought there were underlying chemical drivers - we recently reported a similarly surprising but chemically mediated thrips pollination strategy in elder (Sambucus nigra). https://t.c
@Roger_TL45Y Elderflowers Sambucus on one plant covered with #AphidEnemies (without ladybird larvae) not #PollinatorPals . Plenty of pollen/strong scent - pollination ecology not well known by evidence is thrips https://t.co/7LfCmkCdD2 Also lots of yeasts
