Sinopse

"Bees and UV Vision" explores the remarkable ability of bees to see ultraviolet (UV) light, a spectrum invisible to humans, and how this influences their behavior and the evolution of flowering plants. Bees use UV vision to efficiently locate flowers, acting as visual signals that guide them to nectar and pollen sources. This book highlights how bees' unique sensory biology allows them to differentiate between flowers that appear identical to us, showcasing the intricate plant-pollinator interactions shaped by co-evolution.

 
The book explains the biophysics of UV light, the neurobiology of bee vision, and the ecological impact of UV patterns in flowers. It begins with the physics of light and insect vision, progressing to the neural processing of UV light in the bee's eye and brain. Different flower species have evolved unique UV reflectance patterns to attract bees.

 
The concluding sections discuss the broader ecological and evolutionary implications, including pollination syndromes and the potential impacts of environmental changes on bee-flower interactions.

    It began with an advertisement in The Times: 'Leaving England June, to explore rivers Central Brazil, if possible ascertain fate Colonel Fawcett; abundance game, big and small; exceptional fishing; room two more guns.' Colonel Fawcett and his son Jack had embarked on a journey in 1925 in search of a supposed lost city in the Amazon and were never seen again. This expedition was too much of a temptation for Peter Fleming, a young journalist with energy and an appetite for adventure. The journey, which begins in a
    reckless spirit of can-do frivolity, slowly darkens into something very personal and deeply testing 'for which Rider Haggard might have written the plot and Conrad designed the scenery.' Fleming recounts it in brilliant prose, leavening the danger with humour and honesty.
