Robinson" POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT A full-time appointment as Visiting Research Specialist in Life Sciences is available for one year in the Department of Entomology at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, beginning as soon as possible after the closing date. The continuation of this position is dependent on grant funds. The successful candidate will participate in a project studying the mechanisms of hormone effects on honey bee behavior. Major responsibilities will include the use of autoradiography to study the anatomical distribution of hormone receptors in the bee brain, computer-assisted image analysis of autoradiograms, and preparation of figures and photomicrographs for publication. Applicants should have a Bachelor's degree in biology or a related field and prior experience in laboratory research. Experience in any of the following would be desirable (but training will be provided): microscopy, histology, autoradiography, use of PC or Macintosh. Possibilities also exist to combine field studies at the Bee Research Facility with lab duties. Salary will be commensurate with training and experience. Please send a letter of application, resume, and three letters of recommendation to: Dr. Gene Robinson, Department of Entomology, 320 Morrill Hall, 505 S. Goodwin Avenue, Urbana, IL 61801 (217/333-6843). Closing date for applications is February 13, 1991. Interviews may be conducted before the closing date, but all applications received by February 13 will be given full consideration.

I do not have samples of honey from different floral sources for this course. If you have honey from American floral sources, I would appreciate receving some. A small jar, baby food size, is sufficient for tasting. The address is; Charles Milne Department of Entomology Washington State University Pullman, WA 99164-6432 Thanks for the help! Charles Milne MILNE@WSUVM1 ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 12 Feb 91 18:55:00 EST Reply-To: Discussion of Bee Biology Sender: Discussion of Bee Biology From: di5 Subject: request for information I'm looking for examples of flowers that, because of some morphological change, provide physical evidence of having been visited. Something more conspicuous than the fact that nectar or pollen have been collected, or pollen deposited on the stigma. For example, Calathea flowers that have to be triggered in order to effect pollination. I'd be interested in both examples like this one, as well as others in which the morphological change may be temporary; for example flowers in which the anthers are thigmotropic and move in response to the probing of a pollinator but reset themselves later (e.g., Stylidium, Kalmia, etc.). Thanks. ***************************************************************** * * * David W.

Chris Plowright also mentioned scratches on tomato flowers as another example, and someone else wrote me to say that alfalfa flowers have to be tripped to be pollinated. David Inouye
