Co‐Flowering Plant Species in a Glasshouse Boost Both Strawberry Production and Bee Health
Integrating co‐flowering plants into glasshouse strawberry systems creates a “win‐win” synergy where floral diversification enhances stingless bee vitality and crop visitation. This approach increased A‐grade fruit from 25% to 70%, demonstrating that strategic biodiversity integration optimises both pollinator health and sustainable agricultural ...

Edible Insect Allergens: An Emerging Food Safety Challenge
Allergic responses to edible insects arise via two main pathways: cross‐reactivity with homologous arthropod allergens and primary sensitization to edible insect proteins, both leading to IgE‐mediated immune activation. ABSTRACT Edible insects are increasingly promoted as sustainable protein sources; however, their allergenic potential remains a ...

Abstract Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is a globally important temperate forage legume. Its symbiosis with soil‐borne rhizobia enables nitrogen fixation, and its ability to produce quality forage under diverse soil conditions enhances pasture productivity, particularly during water deficits.

ABSTRACT The incorporation of botanical ingredients into mead has emerged as a promising strategy for developing fermented beverages enriched with natural bioactive compounds with improved physicochemical quality and bioactive properties. This study evaluated the fermentation performance of mead production and the effects of post‐fermentation ...

ABSTRACT The breeding systems of Lutruwita/Tasmania's threatened Epacris taxa are poorly known. Our main objective was to determine the pollinators of several endemic species and explore for relationships between pollinators, floral morphology, flowering time and habitat. The Epacris have limited variation in floral traits and exhibit generalist floral

We trace the formation of the cell structures known to determine ovariole number in the model insect Drosophila melanogaster, called terminal filaments. By investigating the formation of terminal filaments and ovarioles during queen and worker development in ants, we confirm the existence of terminal filament bundling (white arrows) and show that it ...

The year cycle of crystallization point of different departments of a body of honeybee is shown in dynamics. Distinction of crystallization point of tissues of honeybee in Apis mellifera mellifera and Apis mellifera carnica is noted. The given indicator will allow to explain the mechanism of adaptation of bees at physiological level to adverse winter ...

Diet breadth shapes gut microbiota in the invasive hornet Vespa velutina
Dietary and microbial profiles of V. velutina larvae are dominated by Apidae and Firmicutes, respectively. DNA metabarcoding of larval meconium and gut samples reveals a significant positive correlation between prey richness and bacterial diversity in the invasive hornet V. velutina. Multiple significant correlations exist between dietary and microbial

ABSTRACT Aim Estimate the Darwinian shortfall (i.e., the lack of knowledge about phylogenetic relationships) of bees worldwide, as well as identify their drivers. Location Global. Taxon Bees (Hymenoptera, Anthophila). Methods We built phylogenies for over 12,000 bee species, combining the most comprehensive phylogeny and an algorithm with random ...

ABSTRACT Climate change and environmental disasters can jointly impact species distributions and ecosystem stability, including pollinators and the resources they rely on. We used occurrence and climate data to predict the distribution of Apis mellifera in the Doce River Basin, south‐east Brazil, under baseline and future scenarios (2050).
