Integrating host condition into spatiotemporal multiscale models improves virus shedding predictions

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Understanding where and when pathogens occur in the environment has implications for reservoir population health and infection risk. In reservoir hosts, infection status and pathogen shedding are affected by processes interacting across different scales: from landscape features affecting host location and transmission to within‐host processes affecting

Spatio-temporal variation in pollen collected by honey bees (Apis mellifera) in rural-urban mosaic landscapes in Northern Europe.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
Pollen is a source of protein, lipids, vitamins and minerals for bees and other flower-visiting insects. The composition of macro- and micronutrients of pollen vary among different plant species.

Combined effects of temperature change and natural habitat on the abundance of arthropod trait syndromes in agroecosystems

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Land‐use changes and climatic changes are two entwined stressors on ecosystems. Studies on such interactions often focus on species‐level or region‐specific responses, but fewer have examined differences in responses based on functional traits. Here we examine the influence of natural habitat cover and temperature change on the abundance of all ...

Generalised bumblebee–flower interactions demonstrate weak floral niche partitioning despite a high bee diversity

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Niche partitioning is one of the key mechanisms allowing species coexistence and is especially relevant in species‐rich communities. For pollinators, morphology is a major axis in which species differentiate their foraging niche, as it influences the match with flower morphology. Bumblebees Bombus spp.

Machine Learning for Precise Identification of Royal Jelly From Various Food Sources With Stable Isotope and Physicochemical Properties

open access: yesFood Frontiers, EarlyView.
The δ13C and δ15N were first determined and analyzed in rape beebread, sesame beebread, and forage.The first study of the fractionation coefficients and fractionation values of 13C and 15N in diets to the royal jelly (RJ) produced.The RF and ANN models demonstrated 100% classification accuracy for different feeding produced RJs.

Floral Origin Determines the In Vitro Antibacterial Activity of Bee Pollen Collected From Western Oromia, Ethiopia

open access: yesFuture Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bee pollen has been used as a medicine and food supplement. The biological activity and nutrient composition of bee pollen depend on its floral origin. Therefore, it was aimed to determine the phenolic and flavonoid content and antibacterial activities of methanolic (99.9%) extract of bee pollens among flora. Floral origin was identified using
