Stacked scattering: The key to bright flowers lies in the mesophyll

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The coloration of flowers is caused by wavelength‐selective absorption by pigments and scattering of light by floral structures. Although the molecular, physiological, and chemical properties of floral pigments have been studied in considerable detail, how floral structures contribute to the visual signal remains largely unknown.

Scanning & analysing individual bee (Apis mellifera L.) behavior using RFID

open access: yesJulius-Kühn-Archiv, 2012
A complete system to make real-time flight entrance observations possible is described. The system consists of:a.RFID reader covering the flight entrance of a colony in a standard hive (25 cm wide). Each passing tagged bee is detected.

Floral specialization for beetle pollination and its implications for pollen dispersal in an African orchid

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Pollination by beetles is relatively rare in orchids, and this has been attributed to the clumsy behavior of beetles being unsuitable for the precise pollen transfer mechanisms that characterize the orchid family. We investigated floral specialization for beetle pollination in the rare fire‐dependent South African orchid Disa elegans ...

Effects of Selection for Honey Bee Worker Reproduction on Foraging Traits

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2008
The “reproductive ground plan” hypothesis (RGPH) proposes that reproductive division of labour in social insects had its antecedents in the ancient gene regulatory networks that evolved to regulate the foraging and reproductive phases of their solitary ...

Reflections of Indigenous, racialized, and Global South practitioners and scholars on liberatory community wellbeing and mental health praxis: A qualitative study

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This qualitative study explores how Indigenous, racialized, and Global South practitioners and scholars engage in liberatory praxis, drawing on decolonial theory and critical psychologies, to reimagine community wellbeing and mental health (CWMH) beyond Western‐based psychological frameworks.

Expression of 15-PGDH Regulates Body Weight and Body Size by Targeting JH in Honeybees (Apis mellifera)

open access: yesLife
Honeybees (Apis mellifera) are pollinators for most crops in nature and a core species for the production of bee products. Body size and body weight are crucial breeding traits, as colonies possessing individuals with large body weight tend to be ...

Tissue‐Resident Myeloid and Histiocytic Cells in Health and Disease: Novel Emerging Concepts

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although all myeloid cells are considered to derive from hematopoietic stem cells, the cells in each myeloid lineage are heterogeneous populations, and their distribution and functions vary, depending on underlying physiologic and pathologic processes, age, sex, and genetic and epigenetic signatures.

Case Series of Nizon‐Isidor Syndrome by Heterozygous Variants in MED12L With Further Evidence of Mitotic Instability in One Case With Diploid–Triploid Mosaicism

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nizon‐Isidor syndrome is a rare disorder caused by heterozygous variants in MED12L, with only eight documented cases in the literature. Here, we present three additional cases of this syndrome. Proband 1 was a 7‐year‐old female who presented with developmental delay, right‐leg hemihypertrophy, laryngeal cleft, esotropia, abnormal skin ...
