Another of the images, taken by Wong Chi Keung, shows fields of seaweed being grown in Fujian, china, where it is being harvested to produce biofuels. <\/p>\n
Oil produced by the seaweed is collected and refined so it can be used in lawn mowers and cars. <\/p>\n
A bumblebee collecting pollen from a wild flower, taken by William Richardson in Fulham, London, illustrates the threat posed to pollinators. <\/p>\n
A graduate student overseeing the growth of algae in test tubes at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, USA, also shows the striking green the blooms can create. <\/p>\n
Taken by Mohammad Moniruzzaman, the project it illustrates is aimed at better understanding the organisms that make up these important ocean blooms, which are major contributors to the world's oxygen supply. <\/p>\n
The winners are due to be announced in October at Charles Darwin House in London. The entire shortlist alongside those from the young photographers category will be put on display as part of Biology Week. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
