Exploring the Potential of Perennial Nectar‐Producing Wild Plants for Pellet Combustion

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2024.
Diversifying agricultural systems can foster biodiversity. For example, incorporating perennial, nectar‐rich wild plants into biogas cropping systems promotes biodiversity conservation while maintaining energy production. When left standing over the winter, wild plants provide a broader range of ecosystem services and a higher energy yield via pellet ...

Modelling the impacts of an invasive species across landscapes: a step-wise approach [PDF]

, 2014
We estimate the extent of ecological impacts of the invasive Asian paper wasp across different landscapes in New Zealand. We used: (i) a baseline distribution layer (modelled via MaxEnt); (ii) Asian paper wasp nest density (from >460 field plots, related

Molecular signatures of alternative reproductive strategies in a facultatively social hover wasp

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 2, January 2024.
Abstract Social insect reproductives and non‐reproductives represent ideal models with which to understand the expression and regulation of alternative phenotypes. Most research in this area has focused on the developmental regulation of reproductive phenotypes in obligately social taxa such as honey bees, while relatively few studies have addressed ...

Influence of dry season on social wasp communities (Hymenoptera: Polistinae) in Deciduous Forest

Sociobiology, 2023
 The seasonal deciduous forest, also known as dry forest, is characterized by the deciduity of tree species and two well-defined seasons which cause drastic changes in its physiognomy, and the seasonality of rainy periods directly impacts the forest’s ...

PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS AMONG WEST INDIAN XENODONTINE SNAKES (SERPENTES; COLUBRIDAE) WITH COMMENTS ON THE PHYLOGENY OF SOME MAINLAND XENODONTINES [PDF]

, 1999
The evolutionary relationships of the West Indian (W. I.) xenodontine snake assemblage has been considered as either monophyletic or paraphyletic. Allozyme data from protein electrophoresis were used to estimate the phylogeny of the W. I.
