Buzzkills! Bees go silent during total solar (太陽,月の)食/失墜s because they think it is night time and stop 飛行機で行くing, microphone recordings of their activity 明らかにする/漏らす

  • US scientists 始める,決める up 16 acoustic 監視するing 駅/配置するs in the path of totality in 2017
  • They 記録,記録的な/記録するd changing behaviour in the insects as an (太陽,月の)食/失墜 passed 総計費
  • Bees continued to 飛行機で行く during the 部分的な/不平等な 段階 of the (太陽,月の)食/失墜 before going silent?
  • Just one buzz was 逮捕(する)d during totality before the bees began to 飛行機で行く again

Bees go silent during total solar (太陽,月の)食/失墜s because they think it is night time - 原因(となる)ing them to stop 飛行機で行くing.

That's the finding of the first direct 熟考する/考慮する of a solar (太陽,月の)食/失墜's 影響(力) on bee behaviour.

It 確認するs past anecdotal 証拠 of bees stopping 飛行機で行くing during (太陽,月の)食/失墜s, behaviour that is mirrored in the activity of other animals as totality occurs.

Bees go silent during total solar eclipses because they think it is night time causing them to stop flying. That's the finding of the first direct study of a solar eclipse's influence on bee behaviour

研究員s at the University of Missouri organised a group of 国民 scientists in setting up 16 acoustic 監視するing 駅/配置するs as the path of totality moved over Oregon, Idaho, and Missouri.

They were used to listen in on bees' buzzing - or 欠如(する) thereof - as the 2017 (太陽,月の)食/失墜 passed over.

The results were (疑いを)晴らす and 一貫した at 場所s across the country, showing bees stopped 飛行機で行くing during the period of total solar (太陽,月の)食/失墜.

'We 心配するd, based on the smattering of 報告(する)/憶測s i n the literature, that bee activity would 減少(する) as light dimmed during the (太陽,月の)食/失墜 and would reach a 最小限 at totality,' said Candace Galen, professor of 生物学の sciences at the University of Missouri and lead 研究員 on the 熟考する/考慮する.?

'But, we had not 推定する/予想するd that the change would be so abrupt, that bees would continue 飛行機で行くing up until totality and only then stop, 完全に.?

'It was like "lights out" at summer (軍の)野営地,陣営! That surprised us.'

As 予期 機動力のある for the (太陽,月の)食/失墜, 'it seemed as if everyone and their dog was asking me what animals would do during a total (太陽,月の)食/失墜,' Professor Galen 追加するd.

However, few formal 熟考する/考慮するs had ever 診察するd the behaviour of insects, 特に, during a solar (太陽,月の)食/失墜, and 非,不,無 had looked at bees.?

Professor Galen and 同僚s, 一方/合間, had recently field-実験(する)d a system to 跡をつける bee pollination remotely by listening for their flight buzzes in soundscape recordings.

'It seemed like the perfect fit,' she said.?'The tiny microphones and 気温 sensors could be placed 近づく flowers hours before the (太陽,月の)食/失墜, leaving us 解放する/自由な to put on our fancy glasses and enjoy the show.'

Supported by a 認める from the American 天文学の Society, the 事業/計画(する) engaged more than 400 関係者s - 含むing scientists, members of the public, and elementary school teachers and students.

Darkness swept across the US on Monday, August 21 as the eclipse traveled from coast to coast, ending just before 3pm EDT in South Carolina (pictured, the total eclipse in Oregon) ?

不明瞭 swept across the US on Monday, August 21, 2017 as the (太陽,月の)食/失墜 travelled from coast to coast, ending just before 3pm EDT in South Carolina (pictured, the total (太陽,月の)食/失墜 in Oregon) ?

At each 場所, small USB microphones were hung on lanyards 近づく bee-pollinated flowers in areas away from foot and 乗り物 traffic.?

In some of the 場所s, light and 気温 data were also 逮捕(する)d.

関係者s then sent the 装置s to プロの/賛成の fessor Galen's lab, where the recordings were matched up with the (太陽,月の)食/失墜 periods from each 場所 and analysed for the number and duration of bee flight buzzes.?

The recordings didn't 許す for differentiation between bee 種類, but 関係者 観察s 示すd most bees 監視するd were bumble bees or honey bees.

The data showed that bees remained active during the 部分的な/不平等な-(太陽,月の)食/失墜 段階s both before and after totality, but they essentially 中止するd 飛行機で行くing during the period of totality.?

Just one buzz was 記録,記録的な/記録するd during totality in all of the 16 監視するing 場所s.

However, の直前に and すぐに after totality, bee flights tended to be longer in duration than at times 早期に in the pre-totality 段階 and late in 地位,任命する-totality.?

Professor Galen and 同僚s 解釈する/通訳する these longer flight durations as an 指示する人(物) of slower flight under 減ずるd light or かもしれない as the bees returning to their nests.

The 十分な findings were published in the Annals of the Entomological Society of America.
