    Mouthparts of the bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) exhibit poor acuity for the detection of pesticides in nectar

    Rachel H Parkinson, Jennifer Scott ... Geraldine A Wright
    Bees are at risk of consuming harmful pesticides found in nectar because they cannot detect them using their mouthparts.

    Natural variation in autumn expression is the major adaptive determinant distinguishing Arabidopsis FLC haplotypes

    Jo Hepworth, Rea L Antoniou-Kourounioti ... Caroline Dean
    Variation in autumnal expression from starting expression levels and initial cold-down-regulation, rather than epigenetic silencing, is the major field variable conferred by worldwide haplotypes of the floral repressor gene, FLC.

    Does bumblebee preference of continuous over interrupted strings in string-pulling tasks indicate means-end comprehension?

    Chao Wen, Yuyi Lu ... Lars Chittka
    Behavioral studies reveal that bumblebees distinguish between continuous and interrupted strings by using a combination of image matching and associative learning.

    Metabolic consequences of various fruit-based diets in a generalist insect species

    Laure Olazcuaga, Raymonde Baltenweck ... Julien Foucaud
    Metabolomic analyses indicate that diet generalism may stem from a neutral metabolic response to different chemistries, rather than from an accumulation of specific adaptations.

    Decoys provide a scalable platform for the identification of plant E3 ubiquitin ligases that regulate circadian function

    Ann Feke, Wei Liu ... Joshua M Gendron
    The F-box and U-box E3 ubiquitin ligase decoy library is a powerful tool for the functional characterization of redundant E3 ubiquitin ligases, like MAC3A and MAC3B, novel circadian clock regulators.

    Data-driven, participatory characterization of farmer varieties discloses teff breeding potential under current and future climates

    Aemiro Bezabih Woldeyohannes, Sessen Daniel Iohannes ... Matteo Dell'Acqua
    A genomic, climatic, agronomic, and participatory characterization of teff agrobiodiversity shows opportunities and challenges of teff improvement in the face of climate change.
