Colony size predicts division of labour in Attine ants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Division of labour is central to the ecological success of eusocial insects, yet the evolutionary factors driving increases in complexity in division of labour are little known.

Climbing since the early Miocene: The fossil record of Paullinieae (Sapindaceae).

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Paullinieae are a diverse group of tropical and subtropical climbing plants that belong to the soapberry family (Sapindaceae). The six genera in this tribe make up approximately one-quarter of the species in the family, but a sparse fossil record limits ...

AQUEOUS EXTRACT OF FALLEN INDIAN SOAPBERRY (SAPINDUS MUKOROSSI) LEAVES DECREASED SEED GERMINATION BUT INCREASED SEEDLING GROWTH OF FOUR VEGETABLES

open access: yes, 2021
Utilization of fallen leaves is one challenge for modern sustainable agriculture. Allelopathy is selective, depending upon the concentrations of extracts and receptor species.

Improved Longan Genome Assembly Reveals Insights Into Flowering Mechanisms

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Longan is an exotic tropical fruit crop and exhibits off‐season flowering induced by potassium chlorate (KClO3), though the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We assembled a high‐quality, 441.5 Mb genome of variety ‘Shixia’, with a contig N50 at 28.1 Mb, 29, 325 protein‐coding genes, 26 telomeres and 15 centromeres.

Local species‐specific effect of trees and shrubs on the incidence of the millet head miner, Heliocheilus albipunctella (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae)

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 38-48, February 2026.
Abstract Understanding the interactions between crop pests, natural enemies and semi‐natural habitats in agricultural landscapes is crucial for developing ecology‐based pest management in agroecosystems. In the present study, we investigated the local‐scale species‐specific effect of tree and shrub cover and diversity on the incidence and natural pest ...

Harbingers of change: Towards a mechanistic understanding of anticipatory plasticity in animal systems

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 11, Page 2999-3020, November 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Phenotypic plasticity is a strategy by which animals alter behaviour, morphology and/or physiology in response to cues of current conditions to cope with environmental heterogeneity.
