The impacts of biological invasions
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Summary In plants, a key example of convergence is the repeated evolution of floral traits associated with the transition from outcrossing to self‐fertilization, often resulting in the ‘selfing syndrome’ (e.g. reduced flower size and loss of scent). However, potentially overlooked changes concern the pollen coat, which plays a role in different aspects

The Lauxaniid fly Incurviseta cf. maculifrons (Malloch, 1925) is a locally abundant but poorly understood flower visitor in the Australian Alpine. We describe the flower visitation, pollen transport, pollen diet and mouthpart morphology of I. cf. maculifrons using field observations, pollen analyses and scanning electron microscopy. I. cf.

Macronutrient composition in pollen affects development and survival in wild bees
Small carpenter bees (Ceratina calcarata) were reared on diets formulated with black poplar and dandelion pollen, while closely monitoring developmental metrics, lipid content and survival. Macronutrient analyses on both pollen types revealed dandelion pollen contained lower levels of protein, essential amino acids and several fatty acids, which ...
