The common perennial weed Achyranthes bidentata (Amaranthaceae) produces many flowers to attract diverse insect pollinators. The authors here found that lycaenid butterflies made long‐distance visits between individual plants, whereas honeybees were inclined to visit multiple flowers within an individual plant. These findings highlight potential agents

ABSTRACT Plant‐based antioxidants are widely incorporated into foods to retard oxidative deterioration and to deliver health‐related benefits. Yet, their in‐product and in vivo performance frequently diverges from predictions based on solution‐phase chemical assays, because matrix interactions, processing history, and host metabolism reshape both ...

ABSTRACT Honey adulteration is a prevalent economic fraud that demands robust and reliable detection methods. In this study, a proof‐of‐concept was developed on a comparative study of oscillatory thermorheology (20°C–80°C) and spectroscopic techniques, including UV‐Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, for the detection of adulteration with glucose ...

Mothbox and Mothbot: Automated light trap and data processing system for scalable insect monitoring
Abstract Insects represent the most diverse group of organisms on Earth and comprise the majority of known species; yet they are seldom accounted for in large‐scale biodiversity monitoring systems and conservation planning. We have developed the Mothbox—an open source automated light trap that makes insect monitoring accessible to non‐specialists and ...
