Foraging of Scaptotrigona aff. depilis (Hymenoptera, Apidae) in an Urbanized Area: Seasonality in Resource Availability and Visited Plants

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
The floral sources used by bees can be identified by analyzing pollen grains obtained from their bodies, feces, brood cells, or storage pots in the nests. In addition to data on resource availability, this information enables the investigation on the selection of food resource by bees. We assessed the foraging patterns of Scaptotrigona aff.

Neutral Sterols of Cephalic Glands of Stingless Bees and Their Correlation with Sterols from Pollen

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Sterols are essential molecules in the membrane lipid composition and precursors of important sterol hormones that regulate many developmental processes. Insects are unable to synthesize sterols de novo and, thus, all phytophagous insects depend on an exogenous source of sterols for growth, development, and reproduction.

Flood resilience: Response of an Australian sub‐tropical riparian rainforest to catastrophic flooding

Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 8, August 2024.
Responding to historically significant major flooding, this research assessed the flood‐resilience of a sub‐tropical riparian rainforest. Pre‐ and post‐flood (3, 6, and 12 months) floristic data were tested for significant changes. Additionally, persistence (taxa flood response via resprouting, recruitment, or both) was included in the assessment ...

Nutritional Composition and Acute Toxicity Potentials of Archontophoenix tukeri and Adonidia merrilli Kernels

Pharmaceutical and Biosciences Journal, 2017
Archontophoenix tukeri and Adonidia merrilli are exotic species widely grown in Nigeria as ornamental palms. In this study, the kernels of A. tukeri and A. merrilli were subjected to amino acids, fatty acids, proximate, anti-nutrients and mineral element analyses, in addition to acute toxicity evaluation.

Time since first naturalization is key to explaining non‐native plant invasions on islands

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 51, Issue 8, Page 1340-1350, August 2024.
Abstract Aim Investigating the extent of insular invasions by non‐native species (i.e., the number of islands they occupy) is central to island conservation. However, interrelationships among plant life history traits, naturalization histories, and island characteristics in determining island occupancy by non‐native plant species are poorly understood.
