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 ...

复方翅果油的毒理学初步研究Preliminary toxicological study of compound Elaeagnus mollis seed oil
旨在对复方翅果油(翅果油+葡萄籽油)的毒理学安全性进行初步评估。采用最大耐受剂量(MTD)法观察复方翅果油的急性毒性,选择Ames试验、骨髓嗜多染红细胞微核试验、小鼠精子畸形试验观察复方翅果油的遗传毒性,通过亚急性毒性试验观察复方翅果油的亚急性毒性。结果表明:复方翅果油对雄、雌小鼠的MTD均大于20.0 g/kg;遗传毒性试验结果为阴性;各剂量组未观察到有明显的亚急性毒性。上述结果说明复方翅果油属无毒级,无明显遗传毒性和亚急性毒性。To study the safety of compound ...
