Direct Ambient Mass Spectrometry for Food, Beverage, and Agricultural Sample Analysis and Research

open access: yesMass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ambient and direct mass spectrometry (MS) methods are becoming increasingly used for the rapid analysis of food, beverage and agricultural samples. Novel ionization approaches combined with targeted, or untargeted workflows provide analytical outcomes within a greatly reduced time period compared to traditional separation science coupled with ...

Are you my mother? When host genetics and gut microbiota tell different phylogenetic stories in the Africanized honey bee hybrid (Apis mellifera scutellata × sspp.)

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
Africanized honey bees (Apis mellifera scutellata × sspp.) originated in Brazil through the crossbreeding of African (A. mellifera scutellata) and European (A. mellifera sspp.) honey bee subspecies.

Native ants learn how to deal with cues of invasive species: responses to footprints of invasive ants are shaped by experience

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Invasive ants threaten biodiversity worldwide. They may benefit from being novel if native species fail to show appropriate responses to their cues. Cues include chemical footprints (or ‘home‐range markings' in ants) left by all walking insects, which resemble cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs).

Gendered, embodied knowledge within a Welsh agricultural context and the importance of listening to farmers in the rewilding debate

open access: yesArea, EarlyView., 2022
This article uses examples from practice‐led‐research to explore the tensions between rewilding and the gendered embodied knowledge of upland farmers in an area of Wales, UK called the Cambrian Mountains. This paper argues that within the context of the polarising ideas of rewilding, sensitivity and the need to listen to the embodied, situated ...

Primary producers' positions towards bears and bear conservation: Insights for human–bear coexistence

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract We present primary producers' (farmers', livestock breeders', beekeepers') positions towards bears and bear conservation as documented through semi‐structured interviews within the frame of human dimensions actions of LIFE projects implemented between 2015 and 2022 in Greece.

Modeling Honey Bee Populations

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2015
Eusocial honey bee populations (Apis mellifera) employ an age stratification organization of egg, larvae, pupae, hive bees and foraging bees. Understanding the recent decline in honey bee colonies hinges on understanding the factors that impact each of these different age castes.

Trapping is not effective for limiting damage by Vespa velutina in vineyards

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Vespa velutina is an invasive hornet that damages grapes. Baited traps are commonly used to mitigate them, but trap effectiveness in vineyards has not been tested. Our study found no significant reduction in damage from trapping, and high and variable by‐catch rates. Sustainable vineyard management methods should be explored.

Risk and Toxicity Assessment of a Potential Natural Insecticide, Methyl Benzoate, in Honey Bees (Apis mellifera L.)

open access: yesInsects, 2019
Methyl benzoate (MB) is a component of bee semiochemicals. Recent discovery of insecticidal activity of MB against insect pests provides a potential alternative to chemical insecticides.
