Native bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) and berry polycultures: Studying farmers’ motivations for diversification and the impact of mass floral resources on pollinator communities [PDF]

, 2017
Floral resource continuity is an important component in pollinator conservation. Mass blooms early in the season may bolster pollinator communities on sequentially flowering crops by creating a resource pulse in an agricultural landscape.

Macronutrient composition in pollen affects development and survival in wild bees

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 350-362, June 2026.
Small carpenter bees (Ceratina calcarata) were reared on diets formulated with black poplar and dandelion pollen, while closely monitoring developmental metrics, lipid content and survival. Macronutrient analyses on both pollen types revealed dandelion pollen contained lower levels of protein, essential amino acids and several fatty acids, which ...

Carbon Dots as Photoinitiators for Thiol–Ene Reactions

ChemCatChem, Volume 18, Issue 9, 14 May 2026.
A metal‐free and eco‐friendly approach for the anti‐Markovnikov hydrothiolation of olefins, using carbon dots (CDs) as bio‐derived photoinitiators, is presented herein. The procedure occurs in aqueous media upon visible light irradiation, and it is compatible with a broad range of thiols, alkenes, and alkynes.

Blueberry Earth

, 2018
This paper explores the physics of the what-if question "what if the entire Earth was instantaneously replaced with an equal volume of closely packed, but uncompressed blueberries?" While the assumption may be absurd, the consequences can be explored rigorously using elementary physics.
