The role of Honey-bee (Apis mellifera L.) in pollination of fruit species [PDF]
Starting with the scientifically proven fact that we should keep bees even if we do not obtain their products (honey, wax, nectar, propolis, sour and bees poison) means that indirect benefit and importance of bees is greater than the direct one.

THE POSSIBILITY OF USING PECTIN OF CONIFEROUS TREES AS STRUCTURE-FORMING
In recent years, the demand for food has sharply increased in functional ingredients, especially in pectin. At present, there is no production of pectin substances in the Russian Federation, and the demand for them is satisfied, mainly due to the use of ...

Biochemical variation in traditional black plum nectar’s quality during storage
In Côte d'Ivoire, the non-alcoholic beverage industry is gradually turning to fruits from local wild species. More and more products from the latter are entering the market. Black plum, fruit of Vitex doniana, very pleasant and rich in bioactive compounds, has been transformed into nectar without the addition of preservatives. As a result, this product

Many plant species worldwide are struggling to regenerate due to the ongoing effects of climate change. These effects appear to be further exacerbated by the loss of keystone megafauna, which were important seed dispersers. By identifying the traits commonly seen in seeds spread by modern elephants, it is possible to predict which species likely ...

Understanding how cooperative interactions remain stable matters for biodiversity because many plants rely on specialist insects that can also impose reproductive costs. We studied the interaction between Sambucus sieboldiana and seed‐consuming Heterhelus beetles through detailed field observations and pollination experiments.

Effects of bioinsecticide exposure route on aphids and their natural enemies in oilseed rape
Fatty acids, silicone polymers and surfactants reduced aphid numbers but caused natural enemy mortality under direct exposure, while minimal residual activity suggests potential for targeted, compatible use in integrated pest management. Abstract BACKGROUND Myzus persicae Sulzer and Brevicoryne brassicae L.

We show that ant‐mediated seed dispersal components respond differently to local soil conditions and landscape structure in Caatinga agricultural mosaics. Low‐intensity rainfed croplands maintained or enhanced seed removal compared to natural remnants, highlighting how small‐scale agriculture can sustain key ecological processes in human‐modified dry ...
