Habitat heterogeneity pos- itively influences faunal diversity, as each type of habitat widens the range of available, often spatially separated, resources, such as nectar and pollen, prey, nest construction materials, refuges and over-wintering sites117. Received: 11 March 2019; Accepted: 9 ...
strand orientation and SNP functional state (non-synonymous, synonymous, intron or exon UTR, or intergenic regions), using the reference genome Amel_4.5, the Official Gene Set 3.2 (BEEBASE), and the Entrez Gene of NCBI. To have a complete functional annotation of each candidate gene, putative...
There is great interest in land management practices for pollinators; however, a quantitative comparison of landscape and local effects on bee communities
The landscape of the Kampinos National Park (KPN), a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in Poland, is a mosaic of habitats created by natural processes and human activities. However, ongoing abandonment of traditional management has led to the development of fores
Shemya Island is a relatively small (its total area does not exceed 15.3 km2) island in the Near Islands group of the western part of the Aleutian-Commander Islands chain (Figure 1). Unlike most other islands of the Aleutian Arc, it has no volcanoes. In 1999, a peat deposit with a tot...
Furthermore, the occurrence of events that climate parameters describe can cause property damage (heavy precipitation events, storms) or health risks (heat waves, high pollen levels). For example, knowledge about the direction and intensity of climate change can support decisions in urban planning, ...
