Specific alien plant species predominantly deliver nectar sugar and pollen but are not preferentially visited by wild pollinating insects in suburban riparian ecosystems. [PDF]
We show that despite the great contribution to gross floral resource supply, resource‐rich alien plants do not serve as a principal food source of wild pollinating insects, and other plants, especially natives, are still needed to satisfy insect demand in suburban riparian ecosystems.

Variation in parental investment preferences for nestlings of the Gray-backed Shrike (Lanius tephronotus) in alpine environments. [PDF]
This manuscript studied the breeding behavior in the Gray‐backed Shrike (Lanius tephronotus); the research object is valuable. Then, the research conclusion about parental investment preferences has certain reference value. Abstract In the northeastern edge of the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau, the Gray‐backed Shrike, a shrubland bird species of the plateau ...

A catalogue of the Pompilidae (Hymenoptera, Vespoidea) of Gabon
Hitherto 20 species of the family Pompilidae have been recorded from Gabon. The subfamily Ceropalinae is represented by two species of the genus Ceropales LATREILLE, 1797 and the subfamily Pepsinae by eight species of the genera Auplopus SPINOLA, 1842 (two species), Cryptocheilus PANZER, 1806 (one species), Cyphononyx DAHLBOM, 1845 (one species ...

The best of two worlds: ecology and evolution of ambophilous plants
ABSTRACT Ambophily, the mixed mode of wind and insect pollination is still poorly understood, even though it has been known to science for over 130 years. While its presence has been repeatedly inferred, experimental data remain regrettably rare. No specific suite of morphological or ecological characteristics has yet been identified for ambophilous ...

EAACI Molecular Allergology User's Guide 2.0
Abstract Since the discovery of immunoglobulin E (IgE) as a mediator of allergic diseases in 1967, our knowledge about the immunological mechanisms of IgE‐mediated allergies has remarkably increased. In addition to understanding the immune response and clinical symptoms, allergy diagnosis and management depend strongly on the precise identification of ...

Differences in functional trait responses to elevation among feeding guilds of Aculeata community
The response of communities to climate change is expected to vary among feeding guilds. We found that functional trait composition of each feeding guild in Aculeata bees and wasps community responded to the elevational gradient in different ways. This differences can produce different community assembly patterns in different guilds during further ...

ABSTRACT Soil organisms drive major ecosystem functions by mineralising carbon and releasing nutrients during decomposition processes, which supports plant growth, aboveground biodiversity and, ultimately, human nutrition. Soil ecologists often operate with functional groups to infer the effects of individual taxa on ecosystem functions and services ...
