In Europe, honey bees and bumble are among the most important pollinators, there is a growing interest in understanding effects of floral resource availability on their survival. Yet, to date, data nectar pollen supplies available agricultural landscapes still scarce. this paper, we quantify species-, habitat- landscape-scale production Lublin Upland, SE Poland. The per unit area was highest (mean = 2.2-2.6 g/m2) non-forest woody vegetation, field margins fallows, whilst significantly lower...
Anthropogenic and natural particulate matter (PM) affects urban agricultural areas contaminates the bodies of Apis mellifera (honeybee) Bombus terrestris (buff-tailed bumblebee). Although both species accumulate PM, scientific interest has primarily focused on A. as a pollution indicator. This study directly compared efficacy honeybees bumblebees indicators PM its associated trace elements (TEs). Insects were collected from ecological conventional apple orchards underwent quantitative...
Honey contains natural biologically active compounds, and its preventive healing properties are primarily linked to antioxidant activity. The of honey can be related the botanical origin content phenolic compounds. We tested 84 samples from Poland, representing eight varieties: acacia, phacelia, buckwheat, linden, rapeseed, heather, goldenrod, honeydew. High-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode-array detection (HPLC-DAD) was used determine compound composition extracts. Total...
The self-incompatible flowers of Linaria vulgaris have developed a range mechanisms for attraction insect visitors/pollinators and deterrence ineffective pollinators herbivores. These adaptive traits include the flower size symmetry, presence spur as "secondary nectar presenter," olfactory (secondary metabolites) sensual (scent, color, guide—contrasting palate) signals, floral rewards, i.e. pollen nectar. Histochemical tests revealed that glandular trichomes produced essential oils...
Proper management of bee pastures is considered an important activity for diversity pollinators and conservation the population size. In present study, floral composition diversity, flowering spectrum availability food resources in natural man-made habitats four rural municipalities Lublin Upland, SE Poland were evaluated. The connection between pollinator-friendly biotopes was also determined some suggestions are made on creation/supplementation adapted to arable land structure eastern...
Abstract In a modern agricultural landscape the assurance of food resources is key issue in maintaince and control niche for pollinators. present study we evaluated bee forage flora composition diversity within railway embankments located landscape, SE Poland. We also analysed abundance pollinators that use along recognized insect visitors preference selected plant species. Railway represent valuable refuge areas (307 species, i.e. 76.1% total flora) (in 4172 visits from 9 taxonomic groups)....
The knowledge of nectar secretion and pollen production is important for understanding the biology invasive species. In present paper, floral reward in Solidago canadensis S. gigantea (Asteraceae), two plant species Europe, were investigated. Flowers are protandrous. was found to be rich hexose (sucrose/fructose/glucose – 13.8/32.7/53.5% 18.3/35.1/46.6% gigantea). per-flower rewards (sugars/pollen) not abundant; however, due formation dense populations massive display, high amounts resources...
Fermentation is used not only to preserve food but also enhance its beneficial effects on human health and achieve functional foods. This study aimed investigate how different treatments (spontaneous fermentation or with the use of starter culture) affect phenolic content, antioxidant potential, cholinesterase inhibitory activity in kale cultivars: ‘Halbhoner Grüner Krauser’, ‘Scarlet’, ‘Nero di Toscana’. Chosen samples were further tested for their protective potential against Caco-2 cell...
Abstract There is growing evidence that food, in particular pollen, limitation the strongest factor pollinator decline. We have considered potential effects of diversity plant-community attributes as well variations pollen and energy amount on abundance frequency insect visitors to Lamiaceae species Salvia pratensis L., S. verticillata Thymus serpyllum Betonica officinalis L. syn. Stachys (L.) Trevis., Origanum vulgare The were grown two different habitat types (dry grassland vs. railway...
Ecological environment in urban areas is specific many aspects. There are evidences that ornamental plants cultivated local gardens may help conservation of pollinators. In this study, the flowering pattern, abundance flowering, nectar and pollen production as well insect visitation <em>Arabis procurrens</em> Waldst. &amp; Kit. <em>Iberis sempervirens</em> L. were investigated. The species grown UMCS Botanical Garden Lublin, southeastern Poland. bloomed from...
The family Ranunculaceae consists of numerous widespread species occuring from lowlands to subalpine or alpine zones. In Poland, the grow in different types habitats, including xerothermic swards (Adonido-Brachypodietum, Brachypodio-Teucrietum, Thalictro-Salvietum, Seslerio-Scorzoneretum) and decidous forests (Tilio-Carpinetum). Many are popular ornamentals cultivated fro their esthetic value. Ranunculaceans vary remarkably phenology blooming. Among them, there early spring blooming like...
The paper presents the first record of Lithurguscornutus (Fabricius, 1787) in Poland. Until recently, bees genus Lithurgus have not been recorded Five females and one male L.cornutus were caught Lublin Region, SE localities are beyond range this species, being northernmost known records from Central Europe. following information is provided: short diagnosis, ecology, distribution, recent threat status
