    How do pollinators get attracted to flowers?

    Flowers attract pollinators through a combination of visual, olfactory, and nutritional strategies For our ecology to survive and for food production to occur, pollination is essential. Flowers attract pollinators through a combination of visual, olfactory, and nutritional strategies. Brightly coloured petals in hues like yellow, red, and blue are designed to catch the attention of specific pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, each of which may be drawn to different colours. For the male reproductive cells (pollen) to reach the female reproductive parts (ovaries), all seed plants must be pollinated. This preserves genetic variation and enables the plants to generate seeds for species propagation. In order for pollinators to locate them, flowers have evolved to exhibit clues. In addition, pollinators are frequently compensated with nectar for the “service” they render. Many flowers also emit enticing fragrances that signal the presence of nectar, creating an appealing invitation for pollinators to…

      Rishi Sunak plans law change to have Netflix regulated by Ofcom amid Harry and Meghan row

      Rishi Sunak is planning a crackdown on Netflix which would see the streaming giant policed by Ofcom. The regulator does not currently cover Netflix, which is the most popular streaming service in the UK with 17 million households holding a subscription. But that could change if plans announced by the Government earlier this year, when Boris Johnson was Prime Minister, are written into law. It’s understood that Sunak has kept the plans to regulate the streaming service on the Government’s agenda in its Media Bill despite the change in premiership, The Mirror reports. However, there is no guarantee that the proposal will be made a reality before the next general election, which is expected in 2024. Ofcom has powers awarded by Parliament to enforce rules set…
