Revisiting the Iberian honey bee (Apis mellifera iberiensis) contact zone: maternal and genome-wide nuclear variations provide support for secondary contact from historical refugia [PDF]
Dissecting diversity patterns of organisms endemic to Iberia has been truly challenging for a variety of taxa, and the Iberian honey bee is no exception. Surveys of genetic variation in the Iberian honey bee are among the most extensive for any honey bee

ABSTRACT Introduction Black flies (Simuliidae) are globally distributed blood‐feeding arthropods and vectors of viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens to many animal species, including humans. We investigated the occurrence of selected vector‐borne pathogens in black flies in South Moravia, Czech Republic, and evaluated their possible role in the ...

Is co‐existence and/or containment of genetically modified plants possible, and is it important?
ABSTRACT Co‐existence and containment of genetically modified (GM) plants has been a contentious issue since GM technologies were first commercially released in the mid‐1990s. In the first decade of commercial GM plant use, there were a significant number of contamination incidents resulting from GM presence in non‐GM crops and seed, some with a ...

Pollination ecology in the tropical Andes: moving towards a cross‐scale approach
ABSTRACT Plant–pollinator interactions structure ecological communities and represent a key component of ecosystem functioning. Pollination networks are expected to be more diverse and specialised in the tropics, but pollination ecology in these regions has been understudied in comparison to other areas.
