15 صفحه اولA simple gravimetric technique for estimating honeydew or nectar production
We describe a simple gravimetric technique for measuring the standing crop or production of carbohydrate-rich solutions such as honeydew or nectar. Simulated honeydew was sampled by absorbing droplets of solutions of known concentration and volume with dried and weighed pieces of filter paper. The change in mass of the paper after redrying provides an estimate of the total solution carbohydrate...
متن کاملComplex adaptive systems in ecology and evolution
Mitigating and managing anthropogenic impacts on ecosystems and their services poses a variety of important challenges: modern approaches to understanding such complex adaptive systems and their interactions with human interventions need to account for nonlinear feedbacks, discontinuities and break points, non-equilibrium dynamics, collective phenomena, systemic transitions, behavioral dynamics...
متن کاملCaffeine in floral nectar enhances a pollinator's memory of reward.
Plant defense compounds occur in floral nectar, but their ecological role is not well understood. We provide evidence that plant compounds pharmacologically alter pollinator behavior by enhancing their memory of reward. Honeybees rewarded with caffeine, which occurs naturally in nectar of Coffea and Citrus species, were three times as likely to remember a learned floral scent as were honeybees ...
