Hydrocarbons emitted by waggle-dancing honey bees are known to reactivate experienced foragers to visit known food sources.This study investigates whether these hydrocarbons also increase waggle-dance recruitment by observing recruitment and dancing behavior when the dance compounds are introduced into the hive.If the hydrocarbons emitted by waggle
Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are in increasing demand due to their role in promoting sustainable practices, not only in agriculture but also in forestry.Keeping in mind the future application of PGPR for increasing cork oak sustainability, the aim of this study was to find cork oak PGPR isolates with increased nutrient solubilisation
We field-tested the Coyote Lure Operative Device (CLOD), a bait delivery Long Socks system for coyotes originally conceived by UC Davis researchers in the 1980s.Our objectives were to determine whether free-ranging coyotes would activate CLODs repeatedly when exposed to them over a 12-month period, and whether CLOD activations varied by season.We p
Solar to fuel energy conversion is one of the momentous topics nowadays considering the urgent demand for clean energy supplies.In this work, the tunable electronic and optical properties of III-nitride/ZnO 2D/2D heterostructures (including GaN/ZnO, AlN/ZnO, and GaN/AlN) by strain engineering were investigated by first-principles calculations.The s
