Overwintering Habits of the Social Wasp, Parapolybia crocea Saito-Morooka, Nguyen & Kojima, 2015 (Vespidae: Polistinae: Ropalidiini)

Sociobiology
Overwintering behavior and relatedness between females within an overwintering cluster of social wasps, Parapolybia crocea, were examined. The overwintering cluster consisted of both related and unrelated females, including gynes and workers.

Dynamics of the hindgut microbiota of the Japanese honey bees (Apis cerana japonica) throughout the overwintering period [PDF]

PeerJ
Honey bees play crucial roles as pollinators in natural, agricultural, and ecological systems. The role of gut microbiota in the overwinter survival of honey bees is gaining attention. Compared with Western honey bees (Apis mellifera), Eastern honey bees

Gut microbiome seasonality is associated with dietary plasticity and coexistence in three sympatric Pamir ungulates

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract outlines a multi‐omics framework investigating the seasonal dietary composition and gut microbial communities of three coexisting ungulate species inhabiting the extreme high‐altitude Pamir Plateau (Ovis ammon polii, Capra sibirica, and Pseudois nayaur). By integrating dietary DNA metabarcoding, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, shotgun

Identification of cyanobacteria overwintering cells and environmental conditions causing growth: Application for preventative management

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) formed by freshwater cyanobacteria pose risks to human and ecological health globally. Some cyanobacteria form overwintering cells that remain in the sediment during non‐ideal growth conditions and provide an inoculum for HABs

Transcriptomic Analysis of the Cold Resistance Mechanisms During Overwintering in Apis mellifera

Insects
Safe overwintering is a challenging issue in rearing management that is inevitably faced by beekeepers in high-latitude regions. Under the combined influence of multiple factors, the overwintering loss rate of Western honey bees has risen continuously ...

Community Dynamics in Structure and Function of Honey Bee Gut Bacteria in Response to Winter Dietary Shift

mBio, 2022
Temperate honey bees (Apis mellifera) are challenged by low temperatures and abrupt dietary shifts associated with behavioral changes during winter. Case studies have revealed drastic turnover in the gut microbiota of winter bees, highlighted by the ...

Overwintering of Tomato Mosaic [PDF]

Botanical Gazette, 1922
1. Tomato mosaic may be carried over winter in hothouse tomato crops, but this does not account for the great bulk of mosaic infection in the canning crop. 2. In a total of 22,944 tomato plants grown from seed from mosaic plants, no evidence of seed transmission of the disease was obtained. 3. The mosaic disease has been found occurring in the field on

Do semi-natural habitats enhance overwintering of generalist predators in arable cropping systems? A meta-analysis(Research data gouv)

Biological Control
The enhancement of invertebrate generalist predator populations through habitat management is a promising way to control pest populations and could contribute to pesticide use reduction in arable agriculture.

Higher Energy Demands and Lower Body Condition in a Hot Spring: Comparing Relict Leopard Frogs at Two Thermally Contrasting Sites

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following range‐wide decline, all remnant populations of the relict leopard frog (Rana onca) in the eastern Mojave Desert of the southwestern USA occupied geothermally influenced hot springs. In recent years, however, several large populations have been established at cold‐water sites.
