On the number of tubes touching a sphere or a tube

open access: yes, 2006
A problem is formulated about how many unit-radius tubes can toucha ball of given radius from the outside and from the inside. Upper bounds for themaximum numbers of contacts are obtained for both interior and exterior contacts.It is also shown that the ...

Competitive Interactions Between Generalist Predators and Their Effects on Shared and Non‐Shared Pests in a Greenhouse Crop

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Orius laevigatus engages in unidirectional intraguild predation on Transeius montdorensis. Despite this, both predators coexisted and suppressed the shared thrips prey. Aphids, a non‐shared prey, were effectively controlled by O. laevigatus even when its population was limited due to intraguild predation. T.

Platinum Group Element Traces of CAMP Volcanism Associated With Low‐Latitude Environmental and Biological Disruptions

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 263-304., 2021

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact

An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Arabidopsis pollen TIPs involved in pollen tube elongation.

open access: yes, 2009
Reproduction in flowering plants includes processes, like pollen germination and pollen tube elongation, where water and/ or solutes movements must be finely regulated. These regulations suggest the participation of aquaporins mediating water and solutes

An Improvised Medium for In vitro Pollen Germination and Pollen Tube Growth of Chickpea [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Using pollen from a cold tolerant accession ICC8923, best results for pollen germination and pollen tube growth were obtained in medium containing 2.5% sucrose + 10% PEG + 100 mg boric acid + 300 mg calcium nitrate + 200 mg magnesium sulfate + 100 mg ...

Metabarcoding of Pollen Carried by Syrphids Reveals Novel Plant–Pollinator Interactions in a Protected Natural Area and Agricultural Sites

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Using DNA metabarcoding, this study investigates pollen transported by syrphids (Syrphidae) in the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park and agricultural sites in Northern Italy. The analysis reveals a high diversity of visited plant taxa, including previously undocumented plant–pollinator interactions.

Alternative Food for Litter‐Inhabiting Predators Decreases Thrips Densities and Above‐Ground Plant Damage

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We studied predatory soil mites that control the thrips Frankliniella occidentalis. Thrips densities were significantly reduced by the predator Cosmolaelaps sabelisi. It presumably feeds on prepupae and pupae in the soil and on larvae aboveground.

EFFECT OF DIFFERENT FACTORS ON GERMINATION AND TUBE GROWTH OF Solanum sisymbrifolium LAM. POLLEN

open access: yesAnnals of Tropical Research, 1988
Both germination and tube growth of Solanum sisymbrifolium Lam. pollen require an optimum temperature of 25°C and a growth medium containing 100 ppm boric acid, 10% sucrose and 0.6% Bacto-agar. Pollen germination was stimulated by 5 and 10 ppm GA3, 1-10

Fast pollen tube growth in Conospermum species

open access: yes, 2004
Background and Aims: An unusual form of pollen tube growth was observed for several Conospermum species (family Proteaceae). The rate of pollen tube growth, the number of tubes to emerge and the ultrastructure of these tubes are given here.

BumbleBEEP: A Sensor System for Bumblebee Colony Monitoring

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We present a bumblebee colony monitoring system, BumbleBEEP. The system is fitted with thermometers and a custom weight sensor. These record data up to every 15 min, recording bumblebee brood nest temperature, environmental ambient temperature, and colony growth.
