A framework for the support of pollinators in urban areas is developed here, based on five pillars: nesting, flower resources, artificial support, management and society acceptance, with additional key elements from science and society. Society should incorporate strategies for pollinators as in this framework by means of co‐planning with stakeholders,

A study of population growth of Sitophilus oryzae L. and Sitophilus granarius L. in single and mixed culture in wheat and rice : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Plant Science at Massey University [PDF]
Biological interactions between organisms which contend for the same resource, have been of interest to ecologists since the days of Darwin. Although this sort of association is evident for many animal-versus-animal and plant-versus-plant situations, one

More than fruity scents: Pollination biology, scent, and spectral reflectance of Annonaceae species
We characterised the floral visual and olfactory cues of numerous Annonaceae species and reported their pollinators. We further assessed the olfactory space of most Annonaceae species available in the literature. Abstract The family Annonaceae possesses a broad array of floral phenotypes and pollination specializations, and are important in the plant ...

Abstract Forensic entomology is crucial in medicolegal investigations, utilizing insects—primarily flies—to estimate a supplemental post‐mortem interval based on their development at the (death) scene. This estimation can be influenced by extrinsic factors like temperature and humidity, as well as intrinsic factors such as species and sex.

Orius predators oviposit endophytically, and plant characteristics play an important role in their oviposition choices. In this study, we show that oviposition preferences differ between species, and that these differences may correlate with juvenile performance.
