Pollinating insects are currently in the spotlight, so important are the pollination services they provide to ecosystems and our society.
But did you know that plants are not passive in this relationship, and that they play on these insects to their own ends? Some communicate with pollinators while others lure them, some are "open-bar" while others are selective, some reward them for their work while others trap them. Plants, however immobile they may be, have perfected little arrangements with pollinators and great maneuvers to ensure their survival.
Come and discover these incredible stories through the plants of our department.
The lecture will be followed by a time of exchange over a galette des rois and a drink.
