Leaf Volatiles from Two Corydalis Species Lure A Keystone Seed-dispersing Ant and Enhance Seed Retrieval
It has been reported that a suit of plant traits can regulate the ant-seed interaction and subsequently affect the seed dispersal.However, the role of plant volatiles in attracting the ants for seed dispersal remains little examined.We used a Y-tube olfactometer Western Pads to test behavior response of a keystone seed-dispersing ant (Pristomyrmex
Comparison of ultra-ultrabrief and ultrabrief pulse widths in right unilateral electroconvulsive therapy: A randomized trial
Background: Ultrabrief stimulation in electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) using a 0.25 or 0.30 ms pulse width markedly reduces the charge required to reach the seizure threshold (ST) and cognitive side effects.It is not known whether further reduction of pulse HARVESTMOON MOON SHINE width to 0.15 ms is advantageous.Methods: Thirty-seven patients were r
Studies on the botanical origin and the residues of pesticides in corbicular pollen loads and bee bread of bee colonies in the proximity of apple orchards in South Tyrol
Pollen is the primary source of protein for honeybee colonies.Foragers collect pollen from different plants depending on the availability of the surrounding environment, which varies seasonally in wild and urban areas or agricultural landscapes.In agricultural systems, honeybees can play a particular role as pollinators, especially where entomophag
