    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…

      Game On: Marvel gets the formula right with Snap

      Card-based games are some of my absolute favourites. There’s just something about a game of cards that are based on characters from a fictional universe that makes it wonderfully appealing. For example, when I played Gwent and played a card based on a character that I really enjoyed engaging within the Witcher games, the joy was often two-fold as serendipity and strategy combined. My victory almost seemed certain with these characters spurring me on and thus, I cherished completing my deck and collecting as many character cards as possible. I experienced similar joy when I played Hearthstone the first few times. Marvel gets the formula right with Snap as its game wonderfully weaves in dimensions of its films and other…
