Can floral nectars reduce transmission of Leishmania?
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022 Background Insect-vectored Leishmania are responsible for loss of more disability-adjusted life years than any parasite besides malaria. Elucidation of the environmental factors that affect parasite transmission by vectors is essential to develop ...

Foliar secretory structures in Ekebergia capensis (Meliaceae)
Heliyon, 2018 Ekebergia capensis is a medium-sized to large evergreen to deciduous tree ranging from southern Africa to Ethiopia. Two morphologically-distinct variants of E. capensis, southern and northern, may be recognized in southern Africa.

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.Processing quality in fruit crops is governed by complex genetic networks controlling texture, sweetness, color, browning, aroma, and nutritional quality. Advances in genomics, genomic selection, and genome editing enable the development of processing‐oriented cultivars with improved industrial performance, reduced postharvest losses, and enhanced ...

, 2017 To establish if foliar herbivory causes changes in floral rewards that could alter floral visitation, we selected another 30 pairs of plants (15 pin and 15 thrum) of P. angustifolia. On each pair, we selected branches with inflorescences at the bud stage

Biologia da polinização em Lecythidaceae
Acta Botânica Brasílica, 1987 A família Lecythidaceae apresenta grande diversidade em matas higrófilas localizadas abaixo de 1000 m de altitude. Poucas espécies ocorrem em cerrados, várzeas, e em matas acima de 1000 m.

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.Industrial manufacturing processes have transformative effects on the components of food matrix. These transformations in food matrix and components have direct implications for quality assurance (QA), food quality (e.g., nutritional profile and texture), and food safety management (e.g., pathogen control and toxin mitigation). ABSTRACT This systematic

Bee pollen as functional food and environmental bioindicator: current evidence and future challenges
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract Bee pollen (BP), a plant‐derived product collected by honey bees, is increasingly promoted as a functional food due to its content of proteins, essential amino acids, lipids, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and flavonoids.

Nectar as food for birds: The physiological consequences of drinking dilute sugar solutions [PDF]
, 2003 Nectarivory has evolved many times in birds: although best known in hummingbirds, sunbirds and honeyeaters, it also occurs on an opportunistic basis in a varied assortment of birds. We present a phylogenetic analysis of the distribution of nectarivory in

Area‐restricted search under realistic constraints
Oikos, EarlyView.Abstract Area‐restricted search (ARS) is one of the most influential and widely used concepts in foraging theory, capturing a simple rule by which animals intensify local search following a resource encounter. Because ARS performs well in many spatially structured environments, it serves as a basic model for interpreting movement patterns across taxa ...
