Oikos, EarlyView.The abundance and composition of flowers within plant communities shape the resources available to flower‐visiting insects. However, it remains unclear how nutrient enrichment and changes in grazing impact plant communities and their floral resources, and whether these effects contribute to ongoing pollinator decline. We investigated how the abundance,

Gelechiidae Moths Are Capable of Chemically Dissolving the Pollen of Their Host Plants [PDF]
, 2011 Background: Many insects feed on pollen surface lipids and contents accessible through the germination pores. Pollen walls, however, are not broken down because they consist of sporopollenin and are highly resistant to physical and enzymatic damage. Here

Nectar concentrations of biogenic amines affect bumble bee behavior in a dose‐dependent manner
Oikos, EarlyView.While foraging, pollinators encounter a wide array of molecules, some of which may influence their internal states and behaviors. Among these, biogenic amines – nitrogenous compounds that serve as essential neuromodulators in animals – have only recently been detected in floral nectar.

Spontaneous bleeding in chronic kidney disease: global coagulation assays may predict bleeding risk
Research and Practice in Thrombosis and HaemostasisBackground: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased bleeding and thrombotic risks. Standard blood tests do not sufficiently quantify these risks.

MicrobiologyOpen, 2019 Production of many agricultural crops and fruits strongly depends on pollinators. For instance, pome fruits such as apple and pear are highly dependent on pollination for fruit set, fruit quality, and yield.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Nectar is a floral reward that sustains mutualisms with pollinators, which in turn, improves fruit set. While it is known that nectar is a chemically complex solution, extensive identification and quantification of this complexity has been lacking ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Closely related species living in sympatry are often partitioned into divergent ecological niches. Such specialization can be enabled by the evolution of divergent traits enhancing adaptation to different niches. In this study, we investigate the partitioning of closely related butterfly species into different forest strata and daily activity time and ...

AgricultureFloral nectar is mainly a reward in the form of food for pollinators. Its composition plays an important role when pollinators choose their food. Several studies have shown that the popularity of flowers with nectar is influenced by the concentration and
