Synergistic Effects of Flower Color and Mechanical Barriers on Pollinator Selection Within the Papilionoideae of Fabaceae by Xiang Zhao, Ruochun Gao, Jie Bai, Jing Rong, Xuexia Wei, Hairong Wang, Xiaojuan Zhu, Kun Sun, Qinzheng Hou

“…Given the specialized flower opening mechanisms and diverse color signals in the Papilionoideae of Fabaceae, this study examines how floral color and mechanical traits jointly mediate pollinator selection in five co-flowering sympatric species. The flower structure of Papilionoideae typically features a keel formed by fused petal lobes that encloses reproductive organs, with flower operative strength thresholds directly reflecting the mechanical resistance required to dehisce the keel and access nectar/pollen. …”

Le Congo et l’huile de palme. Un siècle. Un cycle ? by Henri Nicolaï

“…Factories, social, medical, school facilities and transport networks started to structure some territories, sometimes leading to a true regional construction, as in the Kwilu district.Yet the system presented a dark side: popular reaction movements (as the Pende revolt in 1931) resulting from constraints in recruitment; land litigation due to the assignment of vast concessions; exclusion of Africans from the management; freezing of evolution in village agriculture. …”

Genetic Diversity and Recombination Analysis of Canine Parvoviruses Prevalent in Central and Eastern China, from 2020 to 2023 by Shunshun Pan, Yuanzhuo Man, Xin Xu, Jun Ji, Shiyuan Zhang, Honghui Huang, Ying Li, Yingzuo Bi, Lunguang Yao

“…Based on the nine predicted recombination events, some prevalent CPV-2c strains were highly similar to previously isolated strains, indicating their complex evolution and recombination. The predicted analysis suggested that mutations in the antigen epitope (Val219Ile, Phe267Tyr, and Asn426Glu) and other mutations (Met87Leu, Ile101Thr, and Ser297Ala) affect the tertiary structure of the VP2 protein. …”
