Making Learning Personally Relevant: Sensemaking Assets Used in Families' Discussions While Using a Pollinator‐Focused Mobile Augmented Reality App

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study seeks to better understand the unique sensemaking assets that rural families weave into their outdoor learning experience while using a location‐based mobile app focused on healthy habitats for solitary bees. The project included mobile augmented reality (AR) technologies, which are increasingly used as educational tools at informal

Illicit Drug‐Derived Volatile Organic Compounds as Markers for Application in Noncontact Detection Technology

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.
This review highlights the characteristic odor markers of illicit drugs, emphasizing volatile markers from both natural and synthetic sources, and explores the shift from canine‐based detection to emerging noncontact sensing technologies. Illicit drug use remains a global concern, requiring effective detection methods to counter evolving concealment ...

The effects of methyl parathion on the colony dynamics of Apis mellifera : a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Ecology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2000
The detrimental effects of pesticides to honey bee colonies were assessed using a combination of electronic and manual sampling techniques. Initial experiments determined that electronic bee counters could be used to identify and monitor toxic events ...

The draft genome sequence of the Japanese honey bee, Apis cerana japonica (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2018
Honey bees are not only important for honey production but also as pollinators of wild and cultivated plants. The Eastern honeybee (Apis cerana) is more resistant to several pathogens than the Western honeybee (Apis mellifera), and the genomes of two ...

Are crop yields limited by pollinators? Proper assessments using pollinator gradients require measurements of flower density and yield potential

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract It is widely documented that many crops depend on animal—and primarily insect—pollination, but the degree to which pollinators limit yield in comparison with other factors is poorly understood.

Late Winter Foraging by Honeybees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) at Sapsucker Drill Holes [PDF]

, 2017
Observations of Apis mellifera foraging at sapsucker drill holes were made during February 1988 in southwestern Virginia. Foraging bouts were dependent upon temperature; more bees visited drill holes when ambient temperatures exceeded 10oC. Honeybees did

Carbonic anhydrase from Apis mellifera: purification and inhibition by pesticides

Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2017
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) enzymes have been shown to play an important role in ion transport and in pH regulation in several organisms. Despite this information and the wealth of knowledge regarding the significance of CA enzymes, few studies have been ...

Dwelling in a post‐fallout landscape: re‐shaping and sustaining life in a former evacuation zone in Fukushima Habiter après la catastrophe : redonner forme au monde et entretenir la vie dans une ancienne zone évacuée à Fukushima

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article explores the activities of daily life in a village neighbouring the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima. It argues that one of the potentials of taking a dwelling perspective – a phenomenological approach to living within the ecological and social environments – emerges most compellingly within a polluted landscape.

Infestation levels of Varroa destructor in local honey bees of Jordan [PDF]

, 2008
To determine Varroa mite infestation levels in Jordan, a survey covering 180 colonies of two bee types (Apis m. syriaca and Apis m. syriaca hybrids) from six locations of 4 climatic zones was conducted during August, 8 month after the last treatment ...
