Platform Business Model Innovation for Sustainability: A Framework for Industry 5.0 Integration

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A comprehensive framework is developed for adopting Platform Business Model Innovation (PBMI) to enhance sustainable performance in the Industry 5.0 (I5.0) era. While PBMI plays a growing role in corporate transformation, tensions persist between profit‐driven objectives and broader sustainability imperatives.

Antibiotic Use in Beekeeping: Implications for Health and Environment from a One-Health Perspective

Antibiotics
Background: The use of antibiotics in beekeeping has potential implications for honeybee health and environmental contamination. Recent research indicates that extensive antibiotic use in beekeeping, especially oxytetracycline, promotes antimicrobial ...

Visual search and decision making in bees: time, speed and accuracy [PDF]

, 2006
An insect searching a meadow for flowers may detect several flowers from different species per second, so the task of choosing the right flowers rapidly is not trivial.

Tailoring Thermophysical Properties and Multiscale Machine Learning Modeling of 2D Nanomaterial‐Infused Beeswax as a Green NePCM for Sustainable Thermal Management Systems

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study develops eco‐friendly two‐dimensional nanoparticle‐enhanced phase change materials (2D NePCMs) using biodegradable beeswax infused with rGO, GO, and MXene nanoparticles. Experimental results demonstrated up to 21.9% enhancement in thermal conductivity with minimal latent heat loss, while machine learning models achieved >95% predictive ...

Combined stress from parasites, pesticides and lack of flowers drives bee declines [PDF]

, 2015
Bees are subject to numerous pressures in the modern world. The abundance and diversity of flowers has declined, bees are chronically exposed to cocktails of agrochemicals, and they are simultaneously exposed to novel parasites accidentally spread by ...

Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...

Aromatic plants, nest bacterial diversity, and nestling condition in Corsican blue tits

Oikos, EarlyView.
According to the ‘nest protection hypothesis', some passerines incorporate fresh aromatic plants into their nests which reduce pathogens that can negatively affect nestlings. We experimentally evaluated the effect of five aromatic plant species on the nest bacterial microbiota of Corsican blue tits Cyanistes caeruleus.

Honeybee flight dynamics and pair separation in windy conditions near the hive entrance

New Journal of Physics, 2023
Animals and living organisms are continuously adapting to changes in their environment. How do animals, especially those that are critical to their ecosystem, respond to rapidly changing conditions in their environment?

Floral trait similarity at the community‐level increases reproductive success suggesting facilitation through pollinator sharing

Oikos, EarlyView.
The ability of plants to attract pollinators is context‐dependent, influenced by floral traits, abundance, and resources from the plant community. Indirect interactions through shared pollinators, from competition to facilitation, may lead to varied reproductive outputs in plants, and the mechanisms behind these interactions remain to be fully ...

Nosema apis and Nosema ceranae in Beehives of the Apulian Region of Italy: How Citizen Science Can Support Scientific Research

Agriculture
Nosema apis and Nosema ceranae are two well-known pathogens affecting the health of honeybees. To help understand how honeybee colonies are affected by these pathogens, the aim of this study was to analyze the impact of Nosema ceranae and Nosema apis in ...
