Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna
ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...

Behavioral Function of the Components and the Blend of the Sex Pheromone of the Cabbage Looper, Trichoplusia ni [PDF]
Individual male cabbage looper moths, Trichoplusia ni, were tested in a sustained-flight tunnel to the sex pheromone, a 93:7 blend of (Z)-7-dodecenyl acetate and dodecyl acetate. Two experimental procedures were used to investigate the interaction of the

The role of visual and mechanosensory cues in structuring forward flight in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
It has long been known that many flying insects use visual cues to orient with respect to the wind and to control their groundspeed in the face of varying wind conditions.

A framework for monitoring ecosystem restoration at landscape scale
The Landscape Restoration Monitoring Framework supports large‐scale ecosystem restoration projects to effectively assess progress towards outcomes. It provides guidance for the selection of indicators to assess change at two different time scales and across a diversity of ecosystem, ecosystem service, and socioeconomic dimensions.

Intraspecific Combinations of Flower and Leaf Volatiles Act Together in Attracting Hawkmoth Pollinators [PDF]
Insects pinpoint mates, food and oviposition sites by olfactory cues. Recognizing and localizing a suitable target by olfaction is demanding. Odor sources emit characteristic blends of compounds that have to be identified against an environmentally ...

Lagrangian atmospheric models were used in conjunction with ecophysiological factors to reconstruct the path and meteorological conditions of a long‐range migration flight of spruce budworm moths to Newfoundland, Canada. Moths travelled under high winds and warm temperatures that favoured their migratory flight until encountering cooler temperatures ...

Air pollution and its multifaceted effects on insect pollinators: A review
Air pollution disrupts plant‐pollinator interactions by impairing floral signal transmission, altering foraging behaviour, and reducing pollinator fitness, flight efficiency, reproduction and survival, posing serious threats to ecological stability.
