Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wasps, members of over 90 hymenopteran families, exhibit diverse behaviours, including pollination, predation and parasitism. While wasps are known pollinators in specialised systems, such as the intricate mutualism of fig trees and the deceptive pollination of certain orchids, they have historically been considered ineffective pollinators ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Beetle pollination is considered an ancestral trait in angiosperms, retained in a few specialised families engaging in longstanding interactions with ancient groups of beetles. While beetles represent some of the earliest angiosperm pollinators, there is also increasing evidence that some beetle‐pollinated plants represent a derived condition.

Stable isotope evidence of meat eating and hunting specialization in adult male chimpanzees [PDF]
, 2013 Observations of hunting and meat eating in our closest living relatives, chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), suggest that among primates, regular inclusion of meat in the diet is not a characteristic unique to Homo.

The targeted metabolomic profile of laticifers in rubber tree
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.Targeted metabolomic profiling of rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) laticifers identified metabolites that were reprogramming by domestication, revealed active isoprenoid metabolism in the laticifers, and discovered loci with potential biosynthetic applications, supporting the potential of developing laticifers as bioreactors for production of valuable ...

The Fossil higher plants from the Canal Zone [PDF]
, 1918 Fossil flora described in the present report is too limited for purposes of exact correlation, which may be expected to be settled by the marine faunas present at most horizons in the Isthmian region.

The Plant Cell, 2014 The Euphorbiaceae produce a wide range of biologically active diterpenoids. Using castor (Ricinus communis) as a model, this work provides evidence that some of the genes required for the biosynthesis of these diterpenoids are arranged in physical gene ...

Expelled by the Antarctic ice: Evolutionary history of the tribe Cunonieae (Cunoniaceae)
Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.Multiple fossil calibration points reveal recent radiations and biogeographical history of the Cunonieae tribe. The most densely sampled phylogeny allowed to infer Antarctica and Patagonia as areas of origin, confirming the reestablishment of Pterophylla and revealing the northward movement of Weinmannia into the tropical Andes. Conflicting plastid and
