Science interviews Ortega-Jiménez on butterflies collecting pollen without touching flowers
Science interviewed Víctor Ortega Jiménez, assistant professor of integrative avian biology and biomechanics at the University of Maine, for a story about a new study from researchers at the University of Bristol which found that butterflies are packing static charges strong enough to whip up large amounts of pollen from the plants they visit—even without setting foot on them.
