Detection of novel probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus spp. in the workers of Indian honeybee, Apis cerana indica [PDF]

, 2012
Many insects are known to have microorganisms in the gut which can play an important role in their nutrition. In the present study, we report the presence of probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus spp. in the gut of the honeybee sub species Apis cerana indica

Monthly Alternations of Core Plant Species in Dynamic Plant‐Pollinator Networks of an Urban Botanical Garden

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
The structure of the plant‐pollinator network in the urban botanical garden is dynamic. The network can be divided into some modules of closely interacting species each month. Dynamic changes in network structure led to alterations of core plant species. The core plant species in networks alternated between native and exotic species.

Insect Lipids as Novel Source for Future Applications: Chemical Composition and Industry Applications—A Comprehensive Review

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.
Fat body (FB) acts as a major metabolic center important for the regulation of a variety of physiological processes such as embryogenesis, reproduction, flight, overwintering, protection, and communication. Lipid amounts and fatty acid (FA) composition vary with species, stage of life, and their diet.

Identification and Characterization of Three New Cytochrome P450 Genes and the Use of RNA Interference to Evaluate Their Roles in Antioxidant Defense in Apis cerana cerana Fabricius

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Cytochrome P450s play critical roles in maintaining redox homeostasis and protecting organisms from the accumulation of toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). The biochemical functions of the P450 family have essentially been associated with the metabolism

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 7, Page 1877-1933, July 2025.
Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.

Multi‐Omic Analysis Reveals Population Differentiation and Signatures of Social Evolution in Tetragonula Stingless Bees

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 13, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Stingless bees in the genus Tetragonula are social insects with a fully sterile worker caste, and are therefore well‐placed to provide insights into the genomic changes associated with ‘superorganismal’ life histories. Here we assemble the genome of Tetragonula carbonaria and characterise the population structure and divergence of both T ...
