We observed that in all reforested treatments, the abundance and richness of both bees and wasps were greater than in pasture sites. However, not all reforestation strategies had the same degree of effectiveness in maintaining the stability of bee and wasp communities over time than observed in ...

Honey bees are not the same as bumble bees, wasps or yellow jackets. The scientific name for the honey bee that we have in America is Apis mellifera. Apis mellifera is actually one of eight species of honey bees. Apis mellifera actually means "honey carrying bee." This is slightly incorrec...
At the apex of the tube are active ribosomes andendoplasmic reticulum(types of cellorganelles) involved inproteinsynthesis. Pectinase and a glucanase (bothenzymesthat break downcarbohydrates) probably maintain flexibility of the growing tube and aid in penetration. The pollen tube apex also releases r...
Exceptions to the order-level of classification were a few groups sorted to class, Chilopoda (centipedes), Diplopoda (millipedes) and Gastropoda (snails); and Hymenoptera was split into family Formicidae (ants) and Other Hymenoptera (wasps and bees). Collembola (springtails) were categorised as ...
Studies on the gut microbiota of animals have largely focused on vertebrates. The transmission modes of commensal intestinal bacteria in mammals have been well studied. However, in gastropods, the relationship between gut microbiota and hosts is still po
The main aim of this study was to compare the pollinator communities and their potential resources between burned and unburned clear-cuts, and to investigate putative mechanisms behind differences between these two contrasting disturbance types. Specifically, we analyzed bees, wasps, hoverflies, and bu...

The world fauna presents a vast variety of venomous animals including snakes, scorpions, spiders, bees, wasps, caterpillars, sea anemones, jellyfishes, lizards, fishes, and cone snails as examples. Many of these animals can cause severe envenomings by their sting or bite, inflicting pain, ti...
