Pollen Foraging by Bumble Bee Queens During a Critical Nesting Period Revealed by DNA Metabarcoding. [PDF]
During the nest‐founding stage of the bumble bee (Apidae: Bombus) life cycle, solitary queen bees gather floral pollen to feed their offspring in nascent colonies. Here, in the first study of queen pollen loads in the southeastern U.S., we use next‐generation sequencing to characterize the pollen collected by wild bumble bee queens across northern and ...

Leaf gas exchange measurement for steady-state stomatal conductance model calibration. [PDF]
Summary Stomatal conductance models are essential components of crop and land surface models, but collecting data to calibrate them remains challenging due to large leaf‐to‐leaf variability, slow stomatal kinetics, and a lack of consistent measurement protocols, leading to unknown reliability and representativeness of calibrated model parameter ...

Cercis: A Non-polyploid Genomic Relic Within the Generally Polyploid Legume Family
Based on evolutionary, phylogenomic, and synteny analyses of genome sequences for more than a dozen diverse legume species as well as analysis of chromosome counts across the legume family, we conclude that the genus Cercis provides a plausible model for

A flexible geometric model for leaf shape descriptions with high accuracy [PDF]
Accurate assessment of canopy structure is crucial in studying plant-environment interactions. The advancement of functional-structural plant models (FSPM), which incorporate the 3D structure of individual plants, increases the need for a method for ...
