Plant‐derived nanovesicles as potential drug delivery systems for topical use: Emerging applications in dermatology and cosmetology

VIEW, EarlyView.
Plant‐derived nanovesicles (PDNVs) are naturally secreted by fruit, vegetables, seeds, leaves and other natural sources. Used as drug delivery systems, they can combine intrinsic therapeutic activity, enhanced skin permeation and cargo‐carrying capacity, suitable for dermatological and cosmetic applications including hydration, antioxidant/anti ...

Brief Pollination Assessment of a Critically Endangered Food-Deceptive Orchid (Cypripedium guttatum) Using a Network Approach

Plants, 2022
The translocation of orchids (Orchidaceae) cannot be successful if one is unaware of their effective pollinators and plant–pollinator interactions. Cypripedium guttatum is a generalized food-deceptive orchid, which is highly threatened in the Republic of

Spatial and seasonal patterns of potential orchard pollinators across a Lake Ontario gradient

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Potential pollinator captures varied by season, trap height and distance from Lake Ontario, indicating that flower visitors were not evenly distributed during apple bloom. Several common bee genera, including Lasioglossum, Agapostemon, Andrena and Apis, overlapped more closely with apple bloom than the dominant retained fly genus, Toxomerus.

Honeybees directly outcompete other flower visitors through interference competition on shared resource

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
The outcomes of encounters between honeybees and other flower visitors were observed on two plant species. Pollinators either win, lose or share a resource. Competitive interactions led to greater than expected ‘wins’ for honeybees. The honeybee displaced or gave chase when interacting with another pollinator in at least 20% of winning outcomes ...

Abundance, occurrence and time series: long-term monitoring of social insects in a tropical rainforest

Ecological Indicators, 2023
The magnitude of worldwide insect decline is hotly debated, with multiple examples of stable or increasing insect populations. In addition, time series data for tropical insects are scarce, notably in rainforests where insect diversity is poorly known ...

Why we Should Study Solitary Species to Understand the Costs of Group‐Living

Ethology, EarlyView.
It's easier to measure the benefits than the costs of a trait. Solitary species benefit by avoiding the costs of group living. Thus, measuring benefits of solitary living informs us about the costs of group living. ABSTRACT While for decades behavioral ecologists have studied the benefits of group living, measuring its costs has been more difficult. It

Seasonal shifts in network structure and species roles in a tropical island plant–flower visitor community Cambios estacionales en la estructura de la red de interacciones entre plantas y visitantes florales y en los roles de las especies en una comunidad insular tropical

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Constant visitation rates across the flowering season masked major shifts in plant and flower visitor interaction structure, specialization, species roles and trait‐driven patterns shaping interaction intensity. Plants and flower visitors changed ecological roles over time, with native flower visitors playing key roles in maintaining network cohesion ...

The ‘red-tailed’ Lasioglossum (Dialictus) (Hymenoptera: Halictidae) of the western Nearctic

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2020
Sweat bees in the subgenus Lasioglossum (Dialictus) are one of the most diverse and abundant bee taxa, and a critically important component of bee biodiversity. Yet, the most basic taxonomic knowledge of these bees is lacking in many regions.

A Mixed‐Method Study on Gender and Intrahousehold Differences in Food Consumption From Khatlon Province, Tajikistan

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tajikistan faces significant food insecurity and multiple forms of malnutrition in its population, with women particularly at risk. Social norms related to gender and intrahousehold hierarchy are pervasive. Yet, how gender impacts dietary intake in Tajikistan remains to be studied.
