Butterfly Conservation in China: From Science to Action
Insects, 2020 About 10% of the Earth’s butterfly species inhabit the highly diverse ecosystems of China. Important for the ecological, economic, and cultural services they provide, many butterfly species experience threats from land use shifts and climate change ...

Estimating the tolerance of species to the effects of global environmental change
, 2013 Global environmental change is affecting species distribution and their interactions with other species. In particular, the main drivers of environmental change strongly affect the strength of interspecific interactions with considerable consequences to ...

Policy and Market Mechanisms for Sustainable Finance: A Systematic Review and Research Agenda
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sustainable finance has emerged as a critical instrument for addressing the dual challenges of climate change and sustainable development. Nonetheless, a substantial financing gap persists, while the concept remains under‐theorized without a universally accepted definition, and empirical evidence of its effectiveness remains inconsistent and ...

Forager bees (Apis mellifera) highly express immune and detoxification genes in tissues associated with nectar processing. [PDF]
, 2015 Pollinators, including honey bees, routinely encounter potentially harmful microorganisms and phytochemicals during foraging. However, the mechanisms by which honey bees manage these potential threats are poorly understood.

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.This work introduces the concept of pseudoglucosinolates (psGSLs) and reports the synthesis and evaluation of nitroreductase‐responsive psGSLs. These compounds represent a complementary prodrug strategy to natural glucosinolates (GSLs) for the controlled release of isothiocyanates (ITCs), enabling bio‐responsive protein labeling, as demonstrated in ...

Ethnoecology of pollination and pollinators
Revue d'ethnoécologie, 2015 This paper brings together three case studies on the interrelationships amongst people, pollination processes and pollinators (notably honeybees). In the palm groves of Saharan oases, the milieu and varieties of palm trees are created by horticulturalists, who fulfil themselves the role of pollinators.

PEK14: A Kinesin‐4 Necessary for Male‐Derived Fertility in Arabidopsis thaliana
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Of the 61 kinesins annotated in Arabidopsis thaliana, many are still without assigned function. Here, we have screened an insertional mutant library of Arabidopsis pollen‐expressed kinesins for fertility defects. Insertional mutants for three kinesins showed a significant reduction in seed set.
