This study investigates the morphology and ecology of two sympatric species of the Oxera (Lamiaceae) genus in New Caledonia along with their respective putative pollinators. We find that two species of honeyeaters Glycifohia undulata and Philemon diemenensis are likely the preferred pollinators, respectively, of O.

ABSTRACT Pollinators harbour diverse RNA viromes that play a vital role in their health. Yet, factors that shape viral communities are often unclear. The European honey bee (Apis mellifera) is experiencing a viral epidemic since the emergence of the parasitic mite Varroa destructor (varroa) introduced vector‐borne transmission, which has also been ...

Inter‐Caste Comparison Reveals a Unique Bioenergetic Signature in Long‐Lived Ant Queens
ABSTRACT Within the same species of eusocial insects, individuals of different castes typically display widely different life‐history traits: sterile workers live for a few months, while queens can live for decades. Ageing theories emphasise the importance of metabolism and oxidative stress in explaining longevity, with mitochondrial bioenergetics ...
