Foraging energetics reveals late‐summer challenges for pollinators across two British cities

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Foraging bees often work within fine energetic margins, but recent work has shown that foraging conditions can vary markedly across the year. Despite the importance of seasonality for pollinator foraging, most work in this area has relied on indirect approaches. However,

Spillover dynamics and asynchronous temporal fluctuations in host density and competence drive fungal parasite persistence in multi‐host, seasonal communities

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
In this study, the authors develop a new model to show that species contributions to parasite persistence can have strong, asynchronous temporal variability, often limiting the effectiveness of targeted seasonal parasite control. The model is broadly applicable for partitioning who, when, and what drive parasite persistence in multi‐host seasonal ...

Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) benzylisoquinoline alkaloids: advances in chemical profiling, extraction methods, pharmacological activities, and biosynthetic elucidation

Vegetable Research
As a member of the only two species in the Nelumbonaceae family, lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) accumulates abundant benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs) in almost all of its tissues. Evidence from both traditional and modern medicine suggest great potential of
