The Use of an Anthrone Reagent to Detect Sugar Meals and Their Persistence in the Mosquito \u3ci\u3eAedes Triseriatus\u3c/i\u3e (Diptera: Culicidae) [PDF]
, 2017 Adults of Aedes triseriatus were fed water, blood, and 10% pure and mixed solutions of glucose, fructose and sucrose. Adults were tested for fructose by the cold-anthrone test 0, 1, 4, 12, and 24 h after feeding. Water-fed males and females and blood-fed

Nectar bacteria, but not yeast, weaken a plant–pollinator mutualism [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2013 Mutualistic interactions are often subject to exploitation by species that are not directly involved in the mutualism. Understanding which organisms act as such ‘third-party’ species and how they do so is a major challenge in the current study of mutualistic interactions. Here, we show that even species that appear ecologically similar can

Longitudinal Videofluorographic Dysphagia Measures in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Background Dysphagia can lead to fatal aspiration pneumonia in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Little is known about the longitudinal progression of dysphagia or whether it differs across PSP clinical variants. Objectives To characterize longitudinal changes in dysphagia across PSP variants and determine relationships with disease ...

Generalist‐pollinated Arabis alpina exhibits floral scent variation at multiple scales
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Plants that depend on animals for reproduction often use complex floral traits to attract pollinators. Floral scent is recognized as part of the pollinator attraction module and can be shaped by plant‐pollinator interactions. In recent decades, research has started to reveal the dynamic properties of floral scent, identifying patterns of spatial and ...

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Passiflora clypeophylla, an endemic species to the Guatemalan karstic forests last seen in 1889 and deemed extinct, was rediscovered in the Department of Alta Verapaz, east of Cobán. The species was known only from a single specimen hailed from the type locality, Rubel Cruz, where it has been found again. An additional location has been identified in a
