The development of insect diversity and ecosystem complexity on green roofs: A review
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.A classification system of different roof types is presented to improve consistency in green roof research. Landscape and green roof characteristics influence ecosystem development, but can be further explained by ecological concepts, like neutral and niche theory.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.We tested how elevation and microclimate influenced butterfly–flower interaction networks at the hottest time of year in a Mediterranean mountain range. Interactions were dominated at all sites by one or two abundant butterfly and flower species, but butterfly networks were more robust to plant species loss at higher elevations. Nectar availability may

Anti‐melanogenic effects of Medicago sativa seed extracts on melanocytes
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.Our study demonstrated that two types of alfalfa seed extract: alfalfa ethanol precipitate (AEP) and alfalfa ethanol supernatant (AES) inhibited melanogenesis through the downregulation of tyrosinase expression, following the inactivation of CREB, b‐catenin and ERK signalling pathway in α‐melanocyte‐stimulating hormone (α‐MSH)‐stimulated B16F10 mouse ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wasps, although less recognised as good pollinators, also feed on nectar and pollinate flowers. Specialised pollination systems, such as orchids that mimic the pheromones of female wasps to attract males, are complex and specific. This interaction occurs with some Thyninnae wasps that also visit flowers to obtain nectar and perform other ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The interactions between insects and angiosperms date back to millions of years ago. Among the groups of pollinating animals, it is estimated that insects are responsible for pollinating more than 70% of angiosperms. Coleoptera is one of the most studied insect groups for pollination.

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wasps, members of over 90 hymenopteran families, exhibit diverse behaviours, including pollination, predation and parasitism. While wasps are known pollinators in specialised systems, such as the intricate mutualism of fig trees and the deceptive pollination of certain orchids, they have historically been considered ineffective pollinators ...
