Abstract Vegetated field margins generally increase plant biodiversity and connectivity in agricultural landscapes. They can deliver ecosystem services, such as providing food and shelter for insects, or maintaining biotic regulation. But they can also represent a risk, for example by hosting competitor plants or cultivated crop pests. In this work, we

ABSTRACT Zika virus (ZIKV) is a neurotropic virus that can cause a variety of neurological manifestations, ranging from mild forms to severe disorders like Guillain–Barré syndrome and congenital Zika syndrome. The pathophysiology of these complications is not fully understood, but they have been linked to host immune responses, particularly a ...

ABSTRACT Aim An extensive dataset was used to decipher the different responses of 46 species of butterflies and Zygaenids (Lepidoptera) to climate change. The study included more than 1.5 million observations from four databases in Europe, with a south–north extension of about 1200 km from south‐eastern France, via Switzerland and Baden‐Württemberg ...

Abstract Seed dispersal by endozoochory is essential to plant dynamics, but once released in the feces, the seeds face a hostile environment that is not always favorable to germination. Indeed, feces may contain inhibitors, have high seed density, and be densely structured.

Aedes albopictus is invading Western Europe, causing autochthonous cases of arboviral diseases. Through a mechanistic modeling framework, we simulated the impacts of climate changes on the extension of the area environmentally suitable for the presence of this vector and for the transmission of arboviruses.

ABSTRACT Aim All bees depend on angiosperms for survival, while many angiosperms depend on bees for reproduction. However, bee and flowering plant species richness do not peak in the same geographical regions of the world, suggesting that the flora in regions where bees are not as diverse, such as the tropics, may be relatively less bee‐dependent.

INSECT LIFE AND LETTERS: THE STUDIES OF HANNS HEINZ EWERS AND OTTO AND ROSE HECHT
ABSTRACT This article argues that vast histories of war and displacement in the twentieth century are connected to the small and almost unnoticeable lives of insects, and that philology has much to gain from paying attention to insect worlds. We examine two case studies: the work of the German entomologist Otto Hecht and his wife, Rose Caro Hecht, and ...

High Temporal Beta‐Diversity of Pollinators in Early Successional Forests After Windthrow
We described the temporal dynamics of vascular plants and pollinating insects by sampling the same windthrow sites after 3 and 5 years from a major storm event in the Italian Alps. Pollinator communities exhibited high temporal β‐diversity, while the understory plant community changed the least.

ABSTRACT Zika virus (ZIKV) is a neurotropic virus that can be transmitted congenitally. In ZIKV‐infected pregnant women, placental dysfunction is associated with the secretion of nonstructural protein 1 (NS1). In this study, the kinetics of NS1 secretion and antibody response were assessed and characterized in the serum of ZIKV‐positive adult patients ...

Abstract Floral traits describe organs or structures directly related to plant reproduction, and they are essential to understanding plant–pollinator interactions, notably for conservation purposes. The growth of plant trait‐based approaches lies in the availability of data shared by the international research community on dedicated platforms, as well ...
