Warming‐Mediated Decreases in Nectar Quality Translate Into Lower Energy Reserves of the Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus)

Global Change Biology Communications, EarlyView.
Warming caused a significant decrease in monarch fat mass, likely due to an observed reduction in sucrose concentration caused by warming of the nectar. Since sucrose fuels fall migration and overwintering, our results suggest climate warming may reduce migration success and overwinter survival.

Effect of green spaces and floral composition on the community of flower visitors in a piedmont city in Argentina

Ecología Austral
In cities, human activities transform the native composition of plant communities into a mixture of native and exotic species. This new plant community shapes the composition of floral visitor communities persisting in urban environments.

Associations between Nugent‐bacterial vaginosis and preterm birth and other adverse pregnancy outcomes in rural northwestern Bangladesh

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Bacterial vaginosis, defined by Nugent score (Nugent‐BV), has been associated with preterm birth and other adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, few studies have longitudinally described the associations between Nugent‐BV and adverse pregnancy outcomes at varying times in pregnancy.
