Complete pipeline for system-level of biological systems, from indivituals to ecosystems, using only metabolite data.
Sterols regulate cell membrane fluidity and are precursors for hormone secondary metabolite production in plants, but plant sterols also have a critical role as nutrients herbivores. Here we describe the distribution of 78 different from pollen 295 UK wildflower taxa use this data to develop an evolutionary rationale diversity compared vegetative tissues. The sterolome was function lineage conserved groups high subfamily. Insect herbivores auxotrophic sterols, notably bees can not modify...
We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Abstract Asexual reproduction has often been regarded as an evolutionary dead end, but asexual lineages (most notably those that are apomictic) present in several angiosperm families and comprise a large number of taxa, both widespread endemic. Investigating correlations between genetic, environmental taxonomic factors the incidence apomixis represented challenge for many years, with previous analyses frequently omitting one or more these variables. Here, flow cytometric seed screening,...
During the main COVID-19 global pandemic lockdown period of 2020 an impromptu set pollination ecologists came together via social media and personal contacts to carry out standardised surveys flower visits plants in gardens. The involved 67 rural, suburban urban gardens, various sizes, ranging from 61.18° North Norway 37.96° South Australia, resulting a data 25,174 rows, with each row being unique interaction record for that date/site/plant species, comprising almost 47,000 flowers, as well...
<ns3:p>We present a genome assembly from afemale specimen of <ns3:italic>Andrena trimmerana</ns3:italic> (Trimmer’s Mining Bee; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Andrenidae). The sequence has total length 399.10 megabases. Most the (86.18%) is scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules. mitochondrial also been assembled and 19.77 kilobases in length.
