Four raised to one equals one: A genetic approach to the Pseudolaelia vellozicola complex does not follow a math rule [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 11, Page 4562-4569, June 2020., 2020
Analysis of genetic structure revealed that each of the eight sample localities can be considered unique biological populations as they are highly differentiated from each other. The results are consistent with that expected for plants with insular geographical distribution.

Insect Lipids as Novel Source for Future Applications: Chemical Composition and Industry Applications—A Comprehensive Review [PDF]

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.
Fat body (FB) acts as a major metabolic center important for the regulation of a variety of physiological processes such as embryogenesis, reproduction, flight, overwintering, protection, and communication. Lipid amounts and fatty acid (FA) composition vary with species, stage of life, and their diet.

A conceptual framework to predict social information use based on food ephemerality and individual resource requirements

Biological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 6, Page 2039-2056, December 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT Environmental variability poses a range of challenges to foraging animals trying to meet their energetic needs. Where food patches are unpredictable but shareable, animals can use social information to locate patches more efficiently or reliably. However, resource unpredictability can be heterogeneous and complex.

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Knautia arvensis

Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 8, Page 1970-1992, August 2022., 2022
Field Scabious is a widespread, native perennial of grasslands and meadows found throughout much of Europe. It is a popular plant frequently used as part of pollinator seed mixes, as the nectariferous blue‐lilac flowers support a range of generalist and specialist pollinators.

Rapid evolution of a floral trait following acquisition of novel pollinators

Journal of Ecology, Volume 109, Issue 5, Page 2234-2246, May 2021., 2021
We test whether the acquisition of a new pollinator functional group (hummingbirds) can lead to rapid evolution of flowers after the recent trans‐continental range expansion of Digitalis purpurea. In naturalised populations in two separate regions in the Americas, we found convergent changes and strong selection for larger proximal corolla tubes, a ...

Characteristics of the tomato fruit (Solanum lycopersicum) using native bumblebees (Bombus atratus) as pollinators in greenhouse. [Características del fruto de tomate (Solanum lycopersicum) utilizando abejorros nativos (Bombus atratus) como polinizadores en invernáculo]. [Características do tomate (Solanum lycopersicum) utilizando abelhas nativas (Bombus atratus) como polinizadores no cultivo em estufas].

Agrociencia, 2022
ABSTRACT.In Uruguay, the production of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) in greenhouse presents pollination issues that limit its yield. The use of bumblebees (Bombus spp.) as pollinators can help overcome this problem as they perform ?buzzing pollination?, a behavior that makes them excellent pollinators of Solanaceae and particularly tomato.

Cría artificial de abejorros nativos Bombus atratus y Bombus bellicosus (Hymenoptera, Apidae)

Agrociencia, 2013
Los abejorros del género Bombus son excelentes polinizadores que contribuyen al mantenimiento de muchos ecosistemas y a la producción de cultivos comerciales. La cría comercial de abejorros se realiza desde hace 30 años con algunas especies euroasiáticas y norteamericanas.
