Dimorphic enantiostyly and its function for pollination by carpenter bees in a pollen‐rewarding Caribbean bloodwort

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Flowers that present their anthers and stigma in close proximity can achieve precise animal‐mediated pollen transfer, but risk self‐pollination. One evolutionary solution is reciprocal herkogamy. Reciprocity of anther and style positions among different plants (i.e., a genetic dimorphism) is common in distylous plants, but very rare in

Phylogenomics reveals the evolution of floral traits associated with pollinators and pollinator–prey conflict within the carnivorous Pinguicula subgenus Temnoceras

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The carnivorous plant genus Pinguicula (Lentibulariaceae) exhibits remarkable floral diversity associated with pollination, particularly in the largest subgenus Temnoceras, which spans Mexico and Central America. Despite this diversity, the relationships between species and the evolution of key floral traits remain unresolved. Here, we

Why honey is effective as a medicine. 2. The scientific explanation of its effects [PDF]

, 2001
The effectiveness of honey as a therapeutic agent has been unequivocally demonstrated in the literature reviewed in Part 1 of this article published in 1999, but the biochemical explanation of these effects is more hypothetical.

Removal new alternative to chemical and mechanical removal for the study of pollen carried on the wild bee scopae

Revista del Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales, 2010
Eliminación de una nueva alternativa a la eliminación química y mecánica para el estudio del polen transportado en las abejas silvestres. El reconocimiento taxonómico y la cuantificación de los diferentes tipos de polen recogidos por las abejas ofrecen el método más directo para estudiar la dieta.

Refining Detection of Subclinical Epileptiform Activity in Alzheimer's Disease: A Case–Control Study and Call for a Consensus

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Sleep‐predominant network hyperexcitability is increasingly recognized as a potential disease‐accelerating comorbidity in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, its prevalence and risk‐factors remain debated, largely due to cohort‐specific and methodological differences across studies.
