Nesting Behaviour and Ecology of a Common Disjunct Bee, Megachile disjuncta (Fabricius, 1781) (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) from India

Sociobiology
Megachile disjuncta is a common solitary bee widely distributed and has been reported as an effective pollinator of legume crops in India. A study was conducted using the trap-nest methodology during 2023, and the new information on nesting behaviour ...

Microrobotic Catheterization of the Ophthalmic Artery for Targeted Treatment of Retinoblastoma

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A microrobotic platform is presented that allows teleoperated and autonomous navigation of flow‐driven magnetic microcatheters, MagFlow, into the ophthalmic artery for superselective intra‐arterial infusion of chemotherapy to treat retinoblastoma. Extensive benchtop validations with patient‐derived biomimetic phantoms under optical and fluoroscopic ...

Accuracy of Short-Interval Trap-Nesting of the Fowl

Poultry Science, 1941
Abstract DAILY trap-nesting of fowls is one of the most costly operations of a poultry breeding plant. Any reduction in the labor required in obtaining trap-nest records would obviously reduce the costs of operation. Many short-cut methods for obtaining satisfactory egg records of hens have been proposed and a complete review of the literature was ...

Bayesian Optimisation for the Experimental Sciences: A Practical Guide to Data‐Efficient Optimisation of Laboratory Workflows

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study provides an introduction to Bayesian optimisation targeted for experimentalists. It explains core concepts, surrogate modelling, and acquisition strategies, and addresses common real‐world challenges such as noise, constraints, mixed variables, scalability, and automation.

Gleaning the Rocky Shore? 2500 Years of Coastal Resource Use at Red Bluff 1, GunaiKurnai Country, SE Australia

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shell middens in Gippsland along the eastern half of Victoria's coastline have usually been characterised as small, short‐duration camp sites with relatively low shell densities and low taxonomic diversity. Here we present new excavation results from a dense, high‐diversity site at Red Bluff near the eastern end of GunaiKurnai Country, a ...

Trap Nesting Wasps and Bees in Agriculture: A Comparison of Sown Wildflower and Fallow Plots in Florida

Insects, 2017
Wildflower strip plantings in intensive agricultural systems have become a widespread tool for promoting pollination services and biological conservation because of their use by wasps and bees.

The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Species diversity and community structure in trap-nesting bees in Southern Brazil [PDF]

Apidologie, 2005
Le but de cette etude etait de recenser la faune d'abeilles solitaires qui nidifie dans des cavites pre-existantes dans trois habitats differents du Parque Municipal das Araucarias (etat du Parana, Bresil). Les principales questions abordees dans cet article sont: la composition des especes d' abeilles varie-t-elle de facon significative entre les ...

The flexible, the stereotyped and the in‐between: putting together the combinatory tool use origins hypothesis

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tool use research has long made the distinction between tool using that is considered learned and flexible, and that which appears to be instinctive and stereotyped. However, animals with an inherited tool use specialisation can exhibit flexibility, while tool use that is spontaneously innovated can be limited in its expression and facilitated

Early evolutionary history of the seed

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...
