Orchid bees enhance seed set production of an understory herb in the Western Brazilian Amazon
Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2023 Bee pollination is an important ecosystem service related to the maintenance of many flowering plants. We evaluated the relationship between orchid bee foraging time and the density of flowering plants and whether visitation varied according to the sex ...

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Nectar robbers and thieves are common antagonists in plant–pollinator communities, where they deplete nectar without pollinating flowers, substantially affecting plant reproduction. Nevertheless, little is known about the relative abundance of such nectar exploiters in communities, even though spatiotemporal changes in the frequencies of ...

Ionic Flexible Mechanical Sensors: Mechanisms, Structural Engineering, Applications, and Challenges
Advanced Sensor Research, Volume 2, Issue 10, October, 2023., 2023 This review covers the development of flexible mechanical sensors from an “electronic” language to an “ionic” language. First, a detailed description of the mechanotransduction mechanisms of ionic flexible mechanical sensors (IFMSs) is provided. Further, the relevant structural engineering is highlighted.

Take me for a ride: Herbivores can facilitate plant reinvasions
Ecology, Volume 104, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Herbivores shape plant invasions through impacts on demography and dispersal, yet only demographic mechanisms are well understood. Although herbivores negatively impact demography by definition, they can affect dispersal either negatively (e.g., seed consumption), or positively (e.g., caching). Exploring the nuances of how herbivores influence

Increased Leaching Requirements Allow the Use of Source Water High in Salts for Plant Growth
HortTechnology, 2022 Growers have different capabilities to alleviate salt stress in the growing substrate. One method to reduce substrate salt levels is to increase the volume of water applied during irrigation.

Advanced Electronic Materials, Volume 9, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023 Thermoplastic microspheres (TPM) are formed in a dielectric layer and expand from 10 µm to 40 µm. The porous structure can achieve high durability and sensitivity (3.1 MPa−1) with linearity (0.996) over a wide pressure range (1 MPa). The benchmark indicates that the work represents a high‐pressure linearity and sensitivity guideline for achieving novel
