Two Metschnikowia nectar yeast species have similar volatile profiles but elicit differential foraging in bee pollinators

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Yeasts that specialize in flower nectar play an important role in pollination ecology. Metschnikowia reukaufii and Metschnikowia koreensis were the most prevalent nectar yeasts found in our field sites. Bee pollinators exhibited different behavioural responses to nectar yeasts in field experiments. Bees visited more flowers with M.

The many prices of war and occupation: Black markets and the cost‐of‐living index in France, 1938–1949

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract When studying French prices between 1938 and 1949, economists and historians face a paradox: whilst a vast black market shaped daily life, official indices recorded only state‐controlled prices. This article addresses the issue by introducing a new consumer price index that incorporates both official and black market prices.

Time‐stressed Bar‐tailed Godwits exploit novel prey during migratory fuelling

Ibis, EarlyView.
Long‐distance migratory birds breeding in the Arctic face challenges as earlier snowmelt shifts the timing of vital resources. To keep up with these advancements, birds will need to modify their migration. Higher fuelling rates during stopover have been identified as a critical mechanism for accelerating migration, but this requires adequate food ...
