Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to evaluate the likelihood of pest freedom at entry in the EU, including both regulated and non‐regulated pests, potentially associated with unrooted cuttings of the genera Petunia and Calibrachoa produced under physical isolation in Uganda.

Atmospheric dispersion of airborne pollen evidenced by near-surface and columnar measurements in Barcelona, Spain [PDF]
Hourly measurements of pollen near-surface concentration and lidar-derived profiles of particle backscatter coefficients and of volume and particle depolarization ratios during a 5-day pollination event observed in Barcelona, Spain, between 27 – 31 March,

Ant Diversity and Stratification in an Amazonian Rainforest
We examined the three strata of an Amazonian rainforest (e.g., the ground and leaf litter, understory and canopy) using only two sampling techniques and analyzed their functional traits. We identified 494 ant species from 10 subfamilies and 77 genera over ≈3.0 ha, showing that they are species rich and abundant, particularly at ground level.

The hydro‐ethanolic extract of Urtica dioica (yield 14.8%) contained 15 phenolics, mainly chlorogenic, caffeic, and p‐coumaric acids. The polyphenolic fraction (100 mg/kg, p.o.) significantly reduced acetic‐acid writhing (52%) and carrageenan‐induced edema (73%) without toxicity up to 4 g/kg.
