Flowering out of sync: Climate change alters the reproductive phenology of Terminalia paniculata in the Western Ghats of India

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how climate change impacts the plant life cycle is critical for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services. Our findings suggest that Terminalia paniculata Roth, a common tropical deciduous tree species in the Western Ghats, is now flowering and fruiting at more scattered times than it used to in the past.

Structure of floral nectaries, nectar production and sugar composition in nectar of 7 species of Vicia L. Fabaceae

Acta Agrobotanica, 2013
Nectaries of investigated species of Vicia were ranked into 3 morphological types: automorphic (V. sepium L.), transitoric (V. angustifolia L., V. sativa L., V. villosa Roth, V. cracca L.) and flat, epimorphic (V. hirsuta (L.) S. F.

The potential effect of megafaunal extinctions on modern conservation of horse chestnut Aesculus hippocastanum

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Many plant species worldwide are struggling to regenerate due to the ongoing effects of climate change. These effects appear to be further exacerbated by the loss of keystone megafauna, which were important seed dispersers. By identifying the traits commonly seen in seeds spread by modern elephants, it is possible to predict which species likely ...

The shared benefits of fallen fruits: A novel mechanism stabilizing a nursery pollination mutualism between Sambucus and kateretid beetles

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how cooperative interactions remain stable matters for biodiversity because many plants rely on specialist insects that can also impose reproductive costs. We studied the interaction between Sambucus sieboldiana and seed‐consuming Heterhelus beetles through detailed field observations and pollination experiments.

Memetic Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm for Large-Scale Global Optimization

, 2012
Memetic computation (MC) has emerged recently as a new paradigm of efficient algorithms for solving the hardest optimization problems. On the other hand, artificial bees colony (ABC) algorithms demonstrate good performances when solving continuous and ...

The pistil as a traffic light: Yellow‐to‐red color change likely influences pollinator visitation patterns in Saxifraga fortunei (Saxifragaceae)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Flowers can communicate reproductive status to pollinators through visual cues. In Saxifraga fortunei, pistils often changed from yellow to red after pollination, and hoverflies and honeybees preferentially visited flowers with yellow pistils. This pattern suggests that a post‐pollination color shift confined to the pistil can reduce revisits to ...

Companion biota associated with Leptospermum scoparium (mānuka; Myrtaceae) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ecology at Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2018
Leptospermum scoparium (mānuka; Myrtaceae) is involved in three crucial ecological interactions that might affect nectar production, and the New Zealand honey industry.

Synthetic polymer nanocarrier enhances dsRNA stability but not RNAi efficacy in Brassicogethes aeneus

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Experimental setup for dsRNA feeding in Brassicogethes aeneus to evaluate the effect of a synthetic polymer nanocarrier on RNAi efficiency. The experiment assessed whether the nanocarrier enhances RNAi after oral dsRNA delivery. (a) Stability of dsRNA–nanocarrier complexes was tested in simulated gut conditions. (b) Gene expression of αCOP and dre4 was
