The mesentery is the organ in which all abdominal digestive organs develop, and which maintains these in systemic continuity in adulthood. Interest in the mesentery was rekindled by advancements of Heald and Hohenberger in colorectal surger...
Varroa destructor: how does it harm Apis mellifera honey bees and what can be done about it? [0.03%]
Varroa 螯肢动物：如何伤害Apis mellifera 蜜蜂及其防治方法？

Since its migration from the Asian honey bee (Apis cerana) to the European honey bee (Apis mellifera), the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor has emerged as a major issue for beekeeping worldwide. Due to a short history of coevolution, th...
The ecological consequences of herbivore-induced plant responses on plant-pollinator interactions [0.03%]
植物-传粉者相互作用中植食者诱导的植物反应对生态系统的后果
André Kessler,Alexander Chautá
André Kessler
Plant induced responses to herbivory have long been found to function as plant direct and indirect defenses and to be major drivers of herbivore community and population dynamics. While induced defenses are generally understood as cost-savi...
Nocturnal pollination: an overlooked ecosystem service vulnerable to environmental change [0.03%]
被忽视的生态系统夜间的授粉服务易受环境变化的影响

Callum J Macgregor
Existing assessments of the ecosystem service of pollination have been largely restricted to diurnal insects, with a particular focus on generalist foragers such as wild and honey bees. As knowledge of how these plant-pollinator systems fun...

As the Royal Society for Biology (RSB) was forming 10 years ago, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) was being heralded as the next threat with a magnitude on a par with global warming. Just a few years later, in 2016, Jim O'Neill's report was p...

Skepticism and misinformation relating to vaccines is not new. The benefits of all our present routinely used vaccines outweigh any risks. In relatively recent times there has been a 'war on science' and relating to this, is the present ant...

Predation is one of the most fundamental ecological and evolutionary drivers in modern and ancient ecosystems. Here, we report the discovery of evidence of the oldest scavenging of shallowly buried bodies of iconic soft-bodied members of th...

Through much of the Proterozoic Eon (2.5-0.54 billion years ago, Ga), oceans were dominantly anoxic. It is often assumed that this put a brake on early eukaryote diversification because eukaryotes lived only in oxygenated habitats, which we...

It is generally agreed that early diversification of animals and significant rise of atmospheric and oceanic oxygen (O2) levels occurred in the Ediacaran (635-541 million years ago, Ma) and early Cambrian (ca. 541-509 Ma). The strength and ...

The Neoproterozoic, 1000-541 million years (Myr) ago, saw the transition from a largely bacterial world to the emergence of multicellular grazers, suspension feeders and predators. This article explores the hypothesis that the first appeara...
