Self-medicating behavior in bumble bees has cascading consequences for pollination and plant reproduction

Gordon M. Fitch, Brooke Donzelli, Rebecca E. Irwin…·Lynn S. Adler

This study shows that bumble bee self-medication behavior affects pollination and plant reproduction, with infected bees preferring medicinal plant chemotypes, leading to increased medicinal plant offspring.

A general model to explain repeated turnovers of sex determination in the Salicaceae

Wenlu Yang, Deyan Wang, Yiling Li…·Tao Ma

This study identifies an XY and ZW sex determination system in two Populus species and proposes a model linking transposon activity to sex chromosome turnover.
