ABSTRACT Objective Pistacia lentiscus L. tree is known for its aromatic mastic gum containing terpenes α‐pinene and β‐myrcene, and has been applied as a traditional remedy in oral care for centuries. Previously, intranasal exposure to mastic resin volatiles increased salivary flow in healthy and dry‐mouth individuals. This study assessed the biological

Induced Volatile Chemistry and Arthropod Predation Across a Tree Diversity Gradient
ABSTRACT Plant volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play a key role in defence against herbivores and in mediating multitrophic interactions. Yet, how surrounding plant diversity modulates these responses in forest trees remains poorly understood. We examined the effects of tree species richness on induced VOC emissions and arthropod predation in Quercus ...

The phagostimulation and reproductive effects of individual essential amino acids, without other nutrient except fructose, were investigated. Methionine, Arginine and Leucine display significantly higher phagostimulation strength than fructose. Arginine and Methionine showed a significant improvement in reproductive activity compared to other tested ...

Herbicide residues in soil disrupt plant–insect signalling, reducing the effectiveness of biological pest control. Abstract Plants under herbivore attack emit distinct blends of herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) which serve as signalling cues for predatory insects.

Galeandra blanchetii exhibits a dual‐attraction strategy: male euglossine bees are lured by floral scents as a resource, while both sexes are deceived by non‐existent nectar. Pollination only occurs when bees enter the spur to search for nectar, highlighting an evolutionary transition towards the perfume flower syndrome in Catasetinae.

Sensing Frames: A Contribution to Sensory Pluralism
ABSTRACT Are expressions like “sense of responsibility,” “sense of community,” and “business acumen” merely metaphors, or do they refer to deeper, socially embedded forms of perception? This article introduces the concept of “sensing frames”: the socially learned, culturally shaped, and pragmatically enacted modalities through which people perceive and

Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...

Abstract Hunter‐gatherers faced the survival threat of confusing edible mushrooms with their poisonous twins, imposing selection pressure on those who failed to detect subtle visual differences. Grounded in the ancestral priorities framework, which posits that the human mind is adapted to handle prehistoric challenges, we investigated whether humans ...
