The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1256-1284, August 2026.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

The pennycress (Thlaspi arvense L.) nectary: structural and transcriptomic characterization
BMC Plant Biology, 2017 BackgroundPennycress [Thlaspi arvense L (Brassicaceae)] is being domesticated as a renewable biodiesel feedstock that also provides crucial ecosystems services, including as a nutritional resource for pollinators.

Comparison of the nectary structure of chosen species from subf. Pomoideae (Rosaceae)
Acta Agrobotanica, 2013 The research of the anatomy of nectaries of six species from Pomoideae was carried out. The observations concerned the flowers longitudinal sections of the following species: Malus silvestris Mill., Pyrus communis L., P.

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.Bacterial pathogens colonise woody hosts by integrating metabolic adaptation, effector‐mediated immune suppression, cell wall remodelling and EPS‐ and toxin‐supported persistence. ABSTRACT Bacterial pathogens of woody plants represent a pervasive yet underexplored threat to global agriculture and forestry, causing devastating diseases in fruit trees ...

Anatomy and ultrastructure of floral nectaries of Asphodelus aestivus Brot. (Asphodelaceae)
Acta Agrobotanica, 2012 The structure of septal nectaries in Asphodelus aestivus flowers was investigated by using light microscopy (LM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (EM).

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 2266-2283, August 2026.Morphospace position and phylogenetic placements of Trimeriantha monopolyada. Summary Floral structure is a key aspect of angiosperm diversity. Recent research revealed that significant floral disparity was already present in the Cretaceous. However, our understanding of early floral diversity remains limited, as it is directly dependent on the fossil ...

Rapid disruption of pollination function by the invasive plant Impatiens glandulifera
Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1481-1490, August 2026.Invasion by Impatiens glandulifera rapidly disrupts pollination of the native plant Stachys sylvatica by altering pollen transport by shared bumblebee pollinators. A short‐term field introduction revealed a dramatic decline in conspecific pollen deposition within 4 days, showing that pollination function can collapse quickly following invasion, even ...

BMC Plant Biology, 2009 Background Many flowering plants attract pollinators by offering a reward of floral nectar. Remarkably, the molecular events involved in the development of nectaries, the organs that produce nectar, as well as the synthesis and secretion of nectar itself,
