Two Metschnikowia nectar yeast species have similar volatile profiles but elicit differential foraging in bee pollinators

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Yeasts that specialize in flower nectar play an important role in pollination ecology. Metschnikowia reukaufii and Metschnikowia koreensis were the most prevalent nectar yeasts found in our field sites. Bee pollinators exhibited different behavioural responses to nectar yeasts in field experiments. Bees visited more flowers with M.

Cape Gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.) Volatile Compounds Determination by Vacuum-Assisted Sorbent Extraction (VASE)—Selected Aspects

open access: yesMolecules
Vacuum-Assisted Sorbent Extraction (VASE) is a novel extraction technique that uses vacuum to facilitate the transfer of volatile compounds from the matrix to the sorbent. This technique was explored for extraction of volatiles from cape gooseberry fruit,

Volatile organic compounds emitted from fungal-rotting beech (Fagus sylvatica) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Chemo-communication is an important mode of interaction within ecosystem. The living organism in the ecosystem can deliver signals to conspecifics, to co-organisms, and unintentionally to their enemies, by emitting the volatile organic compounds (VOCs ...

An Easy Method to Sample Headspace Pheromones in the Field

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
Females of the orb‐web spider Argiope bruennichi produces a pheromone to attract males for mating. Most of our knowledge about the pheromone and its strategical use by the females is known from the laboratory. While we have confidence in the validity of these results, we wanted to make sure and measure pheromones in the field.

Microextraction of Polycyclic Musks from Surface Water with Deep-Eutectic-Solvent-Coated Membrane Followed by Gas-Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry Analysis

open access: yesChemosensors
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs), a novel class of eco-friendly solvents, are attracting considerable attention in extraction techniques. In this study, a hydrophobic DES, created by combining a quaternary ammonium salt and hexanoic acid, was coated onto a ...

Nitrogen isotope analysis of ammonium and glycine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Stable isotope techniques can be used as a tool in nitrogen cycling studies of different ecosystems. The studies are based on measurement of the heavy (15N)- to- light (14N) isotopic ratios of nitrogen in different biospheric pools.

Branched chain aldehydes: production and breakdown pathways and relevance for flavour in foods [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Branched aldehydes, such as 2-methyl propanal and 2- and 3-methyl butanal, are important flavour compounds in many food products, both fermented and non-fermented (heat-treated) products. The production and degradation of these aldehydes from amino acids
