Ants contribute to raspberry pollination in protected cropping systems

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Ants visited raspberry flowers more frequently than European honey bees (Apis mellifera), Australian stingless bees (Tetragonula carbonaria) and flies, many transporting raspberry pollen on their bodies, indicating potential pollination capacity. Ants were active flower visitors at most times of the day and may extend the daily pollination window and ...

The dual crisis: Climate change simultaneously drives pollinator decline and pest outbreaks

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Climate change acts as an asymmetric ecological filter, favouring r‐selected pest traits (rapid reproduction, generalism) while disadvantaging K‐selected pollinators. For every 1°C of warming, bee species richness declines ~25% since the 1990s, while pest‐induced crop losses increase by 10%–25%. A network‐centric approach integrating climate‐responsive

Frequency and Severity of Allergic Reactions to Non‐Mandatory Labelled Allergenic Foods—Data From Two Large European Cohorts

Allergy, EarlyView.
In two large European cohorts, 589 reactions to non‐mandatory labelled plant‐based foods were identified with sunflower seed, pine nut, pea and lentil as the most frequent triggers. Reaction severity was not different between mandatory and non‐mandatory labelled allergenic foods. Their frequency and rising trends (e.g., fenugreek, pumpkin seed) support

The occurrence and significance of amino acids in floral nectar

Plant Systematics and Evolution, 1986
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Approximately 1 500 angiosperm species, in previous papers, have been sampled for the assessment of the amino acids (a. a.) in their nectar. We reaffirm that the findings provide statistically significant data linking differences ~n the concentration with pollinator type. Flowers that are pollinated by

Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...

1172. Dendrobium chryseum Rolfe

Curtis's Botanical Magazine, EarlyView.
Summary Dendrobium chryseum is a widespread orchid from continental tropical Asia and Taiwan with a confused taxonomical history. In addition to its horticultural merits and its use in Traditional Chinese Medicine, this species has significant cultural importance among the Tsou people of Taiwan. Notes on pollination, cultivation, taxonomy, distribution,

The Role of Phenotypic Plasticity and Within‐Environment Trait Variability in the Assembly of the Nectar Microbiome and Plant–Microbe–Animal Interactions

Ecology and Evolution
The study of the rules that govern the relationship between phenotypic plasticity, genetic structure, and ecological success has traditionally focused on animals, plants, and a few model microbial species, whereas non‐model microorganisms have received ...

figure S3. Sugar concentrations in floral nectar from Low-level ethanol is widespread within floral nectar

Average sugar concentrations of floral nectar for 29 angiosperm species arranged according to phylogenetic relatedness [77]. Green branches on the phylogeny refer to monocot species, and orange branches refer to eudicot species. Groups of species are classified into clades as indicated by gray alternating with white shading, as labeled at the bottom of
