A serine protease gene was cloned from the bumblebee, Bombus ignitus. The B. ignitus serine protease (BiSP) gene spans 1702 bp and consists of four introns and five exons coding for 250 amino acid residues. Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA suggested

Genomic responses to increased temperature and pollinator selection in Brassica rapa L.
Summary Rapid environmental change reshapes both abiotic stress and biotic interactions, yet it remains unclear how these combined forces structure plants' genomic adaptation. In particular, the joint influence of temperature and pollinator identity, two ecological axes undergoing simultaneous global shifts, has rarely been quantified at genomic ...

Seeing Through an Ant's Eyes: Do Entomopathogenic Fungi Extend Their Cognition to Their Hosts?
Abstract Post‐cognitivist approaches recognize cognition as a phenomenon that involves not just brains but all the sensorimotor apparatus of organisms. This means that brains are not always required for the emergence of cognition and that every organism can, in principle, be cognitive, unlocking a theoretical framework to explain the complex adaptive ...

Does "Flight of the Bumblebee" resemble bumblebee flight?
"Flight of the Bumblebee" is one of the rare pieces of classical music which, through its association with bees, has cemented its place in pop culture. However, it is unclear whether its composer, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, actually took inspiration from bumblebee flight patterns.

Integration of epigenetics into ecotoxicology: insights and fundamental research needs
ABSTRACT Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in genome function that occur without direct alterations to the DNA sequence. A multitude of environmental contaminants can influence the epigenetic marks of a genome. Changes of epigenetic marks including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non‐coding RNAs can induce alterations at the gene ...

ABSTRACT Soil acidity is among the most important abiotic stresses globally constraining agricultural land and crop productivity. Globally, about 30%–40% of total arable land is under the influence of acidic soil. In Ethiopia, approximately 43% of arable land and productive areas are constrained by acidic soil.

Insights into Api m 10‐Isoforms and Splice Variants: More Than One Major IgE‐Binding Epitope
The structural, clinical and preclinical insights into Api m 10 and its immunodominant epitopes gained in this study provide substantial insights for the future development of active and passive VIT as well as further treatment approaches. ABSTRACT Background Honey bee venom (HBV) often triggers severe IgE‐mediated allergies.

On metric-affine bumblebee model coupled to scalar matter
We consider the coupling of the metric-affine bumblebee gravity model to scalar matter and calculate the lower-order contributions to two-point functions of bumblebee and scalar fields in the weak gravity approximation.

The central complex is a group of midline‐spanning neuropils in the brain of insects with a key role in goal‐directed orientation and navigation. Immunolabeling in 25 species, ranging from bristletails to flies, shows that neurons containing peptides of the tachykinin family of neuropeptides are present in most species studied.
