Increased resin collection after parasite challenge: a case of self-medication in honey bees? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The constant pressure posed by parasites has caused species throughout the animal kingdom to evolve suites of mechanisms to resist infection. Individual barriers and physiological defenses are considered the main barriers against parasites in ...

Recent advances in Fenton-like treatment of radioactive ion exchange resins
Chemical Engineering Journal Advances, 2023 Ion exchange resins (IERs) are widely used to remove radioactive contaminants from various commercial nuclear power plant systems. After the completion of their useful life cycle, IERs are removed from the nuclear facility and are known as spent resins ...

Tree resin composition, collection behavior and selective filters shape chemical profiles of tropical bees (Apidae: Meliponini). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The diversity of species is striking, but can be far exceeded by the chemical diversity of compounds collected, produced or used by them. Here, we relate the specificity of plant-consumer interactions to chemical diversity applying a comparative network ...

Preparation and Properties of Plant-Oil-Based Epoxy Acrylate-Like Resins for UV-Curable Coatings
Polymers, 2020 Novel oil-based epoxy acrylate (EA)-like prepolymers were synthesized via the ring-opening reaction of epoxidized plant oils with a new unsaturated carboxyl acid precursor (MAAMA) synthesized by reacting maleic anhydride (MA) with methallyl alcohol (MAA).

Stingless bees as collectors of resin from Bertholletia excelsa Bonpland (Lecythidaceae)
Entomological Communications, 2023 Stingless bees build their nests using, in general, clay, wax and resins; in addition, these bees also use resins for defense against natural enemies and as an antimicrobial agent.
