A Deep Metagenomic Snapshot as a Proof-of-Concept for Resource Generation: Simultaneous Assembly of Host, Food, and Microbiome Genomes From Stingless Bee Larval Food. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study serves as a proof‐of‐concept, demonstrating that deep shotgun sequencing of a single complex sample—stingless bee larval food—can simultaneously generate multiple genomic resources. From this dataset, we assembled three genomes (a near‐complete bacterium, a draft host mitochondrion, and a fragmented plant chloroplast) with varying ...

Biosilicification in monocots: Comparative analysis highlights contrasting patterns of deposition. [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract Premise New insights into biomineral uptake and sequestration are important for understanding how plants grow. Some plants accumulate silica accretions in precise locations in particular cells. Among monocots, controlled biosilicification occurs in several different forms and is restricted to commelinids and orchids. Methods We utilized energy‐

Floristic Diversity of Riparian and Associated Vegetation Along the Amnay River (The Philippines) [PDF]
Plant Environ InteractABSTRACT Riparian vegetation plays a critical role in maintaining ecological integrity along river corridors, yet it is highly sensitive to changes in hydrological and geomorphic conditions, particularly in sediment‐influenced tropical river systems.

Seasonal and Landscape-Driven Variations in Forage Resources of <i>Apis mellifera scutellata</i>: Implications for Pollination Sustainability and Colony Health in Taita Taveta County, Kenya. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe used DNA metabarcoding to identify nectar and pollen plant species supporting honey bee nutrition across different landscapes and seasons in Taita Taveta County, Kenya. Forage availability was influenced by landscape and season, with exotic species (67%) dominating over native ones (33%), raising concerns about colony health and how the occurrence ...

Anther mimicry in an African orchid pollinated by pollen-feeding beetles. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Beetles chew the fleshy yellow tips of an orchid's petals and pollinate its flowers, representing a novel case of pollen‐seeking beetles being deceived through anther mimicry. Abstract Flowers of many species have yellow markings that appear to mimic anthers or pollen and attract the attention of pollen‐seeking insects (usually female bees).
