Current Status of Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Technologies for the Detection of Honey Bee Pathogens

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Approximately one-third of the typical human Western diet depends upon pollination for production, and honey bees (Apis mellifera) are the primary pollinators of numerous food crops, including fruits, nuts, vegetables, and oilseeds.

Floral UV Features of Plant Species From a Neotropical Savanna

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Despite the wide interest in flower colours, only after the end of the nineteenth-century studies started to comprise floral UV reflection, which is invisible to humans but visible to the major groups of pollinators.

Molecular mechanisms underlying heavy metal uptake, translocation and tolerance in hyperaccumulators-an analysis

open access: yesEnvironmental Challenges, 2021
Phytoremediation is an economically viable green technology that utilizes hyperaccumulator plants to remove heavy metals (HM) from the soil. Hyperaccumulators are adept at sequestering high concentrations of HM in aerial parts and intracellular ...

Florivory and Pollination Intersection: Changes in Floral Trait Expression Do Not Discourage Hummingbird Pollination

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Many flowers are fed on by florivores, but we know little about if and how feeding on flowers affects their visual and chemical advertisement and nectar resource, which could disrupt pollination.

A common protocol for reliable comparison of pollen fatty acid profiles: highlighting pitfalls and proposing a methodology for ecological research

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
IntroductionPollen is an important tissue in plants that plays a vital role in plant reproduction as it carries male gametes and occasionally also serves as a pollinator reward.

Plant-pollinator interaction in a peatland ecosystem in Minas Gerais, Brazil

open access: yesRevista Espinhaço, 2023
The Espinhaço Mountain Range is an important complex of mountains and plateaus within the Brazilian Cerrado. Within this area we can found peatlands ecosystem, which are important carbon reservoirs and home of a variety of plants and their floral ...

Plant Phenology Dynamics and Pollination Networks in Summits of the High Tropical Andes: A Baseline for Monitoring Climate Change Impacts

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Analyzing plant phenology and plant–animal interaction networks can provide sensitive mechanistic indicators to understand the response of alpine plant communities to climate change. However, monitoring data to analyze these processes is scarce in alpine

A systematic review of the direct and indirect effects of herbivory on plant reproduction mediated by pollination [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2020
Background Plant reproduction is influenced by the net outcome of plant–herbivore and plant–pollinator interactions. While both herbivore impacts and pollinator impacts on plant reproduction have been widely studied, few studies examine them in concert ...

Ant species that remove diaspores alone are more efficient removers

open access: yesSociobiology, 2022
Secondary diaspore removal on the ground is an important ecosystem process. In this process, solitary foraging ants with larger body sizes are more efficient because they may remove more diaspores, faster and carry them at greater distances.

Silicon and Plant–Animal Interactions: Towards an Evolutionary Framework

open access: yesPlants, 2020
Herbivory is fundamental in ecology, being a major driver of ecosystem structure and functioning. Plant Si and phytoliths play a significant antiherbivory role, the understanding of which and of its evolutionary context will increase our understanding of
