HONEY BEES (APIS CERANA) USE ANIMAL FECES AS A TOOL TO DEFEND COLONIES AGAINST GROUP ATTACK BY GIANT HORNETS (VESPA SOROR).

Honey bees (Apis cerana) use animal feces as a tool to defend colonies against group attack by giant hornets (Vespa soror).

Honey bees (genus Apis) are well known for the impressive suite of nest defenses they have evolved to protect their abundant stockpiles of food and the large Sea Buckthorn Oil colonies they sustain.In Asia, honey bees have evolved under tremendous predatory pressure from social wasps in the genus Vespa, the most formidable of which are the giant ho

Intensified Selection, Elevated Mutations, and Reduced Adaptation Potential in Wild Barley in Response to 28 Years of Global Warming

Many studies have investigated the threat of climate change on wild plants, but few have investigated the genetic responses of crop wild relative populations under Video transmitter threat.We characterized the genetic responses of 10 wild barley (Hordeum spontaneum K.Koch) populations in Israel, sampling them in 1980 and again in 2008, through exom

Possibilities for the use of tofacitinib in patients with COVID-19

No published trials measuring effectiveness of tofacitinib in Horse Nosebands COVID-19 have been identified.Some professional associations recommend discontinuing tofacitinib if SARS-CoV-2 infections is detected.Taken into account possible complications of the use of tofacitinib (infections, lymphopenia, venous thromboembolism), routine use of Vita

Modeling maize aflatoxins and fumonisins in a Tanzanian smallholder system: Accounting for diverse risk factors improves mycotoxin models.

Human exposure to mycotoxins is common and often severe in underregulated maize-based food systems.This study explored how monitoring of these systems could help to identify when and where outbreaks occur and inform potential mitigation efforts.Within a maize smallholder system in Kongwa District, Tanzania, we performed two food surveys of mycotoxi
