Metabarcoding of Pollen Carried by Syrphids Reveals Novel Plant–Pollinator Interactions in a Protected Natural Area and Agricultural Sites

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Using DNA metabarcoding, this study investigates pollen transported by syrphids (Syrphidae) in the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park and agricultural sites in Northern Italy. The analysis reveals a high diversity of visited plant taxa, including previously undocumented plant–pollinator interactions.

Honeybees directly outcompete other flower visitors through interference competition on shared resource

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
The outcomes of encounters between honeybees and other flower visitors were observed on two plant species. Pollinators either win, lose or share a resource. Competitive interactions led to greater than expected ‘wins’ for honeybees. The honeybee displaced or gave chase when interacting with another pollinator in at least 20% of winning outcomes ...

From Occupational Stigma to Mukti: Liberation, Place, and Agency Among Sex Workers in Sonagachi

Gender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines how former sex workers in Sonagachi, Kolkata, India, navigate occupational and place‐based stigma through spiritual repertoires, of which mukti (liberation) is a central tool. Drawing on critical, embedded ethnography across three fieldwork periods (2001, 2011, and 2019) with long‐term engagement in the Freeset community,

Mapping wild bee diversity and flower use for an effective conservation of the Doñana biodiversity hotspot

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We compiled the first checklist of wild bees in Doñana Protected Area, documenting 385 species, including three vulnerable and one endangered species listed in the Red List. Bee species exhibit diverse floral preferences, highlighting the need to incorporate plant–pollinator interactions and the role of plants in conservation and management strategies ...

Next Generation Smart Implant Surfaces: Engineering Multifunctional Antimicrobial, Immunomodulatory and Regenerative Interfaces

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Natural‐inspired nano‐textured implant surfaces can be functionalised to modulate macrophage polarisation and local immune responses. This bioactive control promotes improved tissue integration and healing outcomes. ABSTRACT Dental implants rely on a stable and functional interface between the implant surface, surrounding tissues, and the oral ...

Effects of White Bualuang (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) Extract on Testicular Histomorphometry and Spermatogenic Parameters in Mancozeb-Exposed Rats

Biology
Male infertility is an increasing global health concern associated with declining population growth. Mancozeb (MZ) exposure may induce reproductive toxicity through endocrine disruption and oxidative stress, impairing spermatogenesis.
