Developing together: The elementome and biogeochemical niche of the mutualistic occupants of a fig microcosm

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In brood‐site pollination mutualisms, where flowers provide nutrition and shelter to pollinator offspring in exchange for pollination, resource allocation to inflorescences is directly related to plant and pollinator fitness.

From pollen provision to pollinator: Species‐specific sterol assimilation by wild bees in urban landscapes

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐driven landscape change, particularly urbanization, is reshaping pollinator communities, yet the functional traits that mediate species persistence remain poorly understood. Dietary specialization is commonly used to predict species vulnerability.

Awareness–Action and Policy Acceptability in Mitigating Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Key Stakeholders in Germany's Cattle Dairy and Meat Chains

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a systematic literature review and targeted searches to define a synthesis framework mapping the awareness–action gap, progression along the awareness–action continuum and policy acceptability in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions mitigation among key stakeholders in Germany's cattle dairy and meat chains.

Plant-based dietary index and body weight in people with type 1 diabetes: a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial

Frontiers in Nutrition
ObjectiveThis secondary analysis tested the relationship of a plant-based diet index (PDI), healthful PDI (hPDI), and unhealthful PDI (uPDI), with weight loss in adults with type 1 diabetes.MethodsFifty-eight adults with type 1 diabetes were randomized ...

Understanding biological control function and trophic interaction dynamics of an artificially released predatory bug by DNA metabarcoding

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigated the dietary composition of Sycanus bifidus, a generalist predator of the assassin bug that is artificially released into citrus orchards, and uncovered its trophic structure across various pest species using metabarcoding‐based molecular gut content analysis.

Characterization of the dynamic microbiome evolution across thrips species

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Comprehensive survey of the microbiome in thrips. The dominant bacterial genera found in thrips include intracellular ones, such as Wolbachia and Spiroplasma, and extracellular ones, including Serratia, Pantoea, and Acinetobacter. We isolated and sequenced high‐quality genomes of two dominant symbionts, Pantoea dispersa and Serratia marcescens.
