Bee pollen as functional food and environmental bioindicator: current evidence and future challenges
Abstract Bee pollen (BP), a plant‐derived product collected by honey bees, is increasingly promoted as a functional food due to its content of proteins, essential amino acids, lipids, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and flavonoids.

Abstract BACKGROUND This study developed an explainable machine learning framework integrating morphological, color, and biochemical characteristics for classifying chia (Salvia hispanica L.) genotypes. A dataset was assembled from 1200 seed images spanning four genotypes, from which 17 morphological and color features were extracted.

Abstract BACKGROUND Cereal–legume intercropping can improve forage productivity and quality at the same time as enhancing soil function and reducing environmental impacts, yet integrative evaluations under low‐input conditions are scarce. This study assessed oat (Avena sativa L.)–alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) intercropping for forage yield, nutritive ...

Living on the edge: Habitat characteristics of northern myotis at the periphery of its distribution
Northern myotis selected tall trees with minimal decay, in patches with other roosting options. In our study area, these trees occurred in narrow bands within an agricultural matrix, differing from contiguous forest at the core of the species' distribution. Nevertheless, bats selected the tallest trees in the densest patches available.
