Green roofs (GRs) are proposed to offset against numerous environmental and socio-economic concerns associated with climate change urban sprawl. In Mediterranean areas, protect conserve biodiversity through GRs, the use of native plant species from arid environments shallow roots is generally recommended. north Europe, Echium vulgare L. widely used on GRs for its tolerance abiotic stresses attractiveness bees; unfortunately, since this requires cold winters induce flowering warm wet summers vegetative growths, adaptability has been questioned. The current study based hypothesis that plantagineum can adapt better environment than E. offer blooms pollinators, thus providing important ecosystem service (UES) protecting entomofauna biodiversity. To compare vs. vulgare, both were grown studied extensive GR installed at ENEA Casaccia Research Center, in Rome, Lazio, Italy. comparative analysis performance two was several plant-related traits, including seed morphology, rosette stage, inflorescence, flower root-related their biological life cycle, most them showing significant differences (for example, area 1.42-fold major vulgare). information provided manuscript will be useful update herbarium records conservation biology.

The current corporate food regime generates some of the most challenging ecological, social, and ethical problems for humanity in its quest sustainability ecological justice. Different scientific disciplines have analyzed these in-depth, but usually from their comfort zone, i.e., without engagement with other epistemologies. predominance disciplinary visions seriously limits, however, understanding complexities regime, including impacts it generates. Further, research concerned this confronts epistemological, methodological, political limitations to engage type solutions that could lead transitions just sustainabilities. Here we review integrate findings literature focused on or an emphasis operate a global scale. In addition, analyze need critical science approaches trigger generative processes co-production uncomfortable, transdisciplinary, actionable knowledges are fit designing sustainable regimes. Much evidence presented our analysis is tension interests which fosters decision-making based selective ignorance caused by regime. Our work provides arguments justify promote sustainabilities agricultural systems multiple domains (e.g., development, public policies, grassroots innovations). We posit strategies co-design build such can emerge through approaches.

Abstract The worldwide decline in bees and other pollinating insects is a threat to biodiversity food security, urgent action must be taken stop then reverse this decline. An established cause of the insect use harmful pesticides agriculture. This case study focuses on Norwegian apple production considers who among farmers, consumers public authorities most responsible for protecting against pesticides. extent which these three different groups consider themselves degree they are trusted by each also studied. empirical involves both qualitative interviews with survey data from farmers. results show that farmers equally bees, while inclined more responsible. Farmers, do not significantly have high level trust regarding matter. finds low consumer or increases consumers’ propensity purchase organic food, suggesting those enough adopted protect environment take individual responsibility. paper adds existing literature concerning allocation responsibility environmental outcomes, evidence focusing specifically bees.

(1) Background: The conservation of entomofauna in individual macroregions requires efforts to study the distribution and abundance insects. For this purpose, databases are created that enumerate information. Such databases, with processing significant factual material, make it possible objectively assess status a species and, if necessary, take measures for its protection. aim paper is describe modern Coleoptera fauna nine regions Russia on basis recently published dataset. (2) Methods: We conducted our own studies 1994, 1996, 1998–2003 2005–2022. dataset also includes data from museum specimens other years. used variety methods, such as sifting through litter, searching under bark trees stumps, trapping by light, soil traps, beer window etc. each observation, coordinates find, number individuals observed date were recorded.

Pollinators are unquestionably declining, however, current knowledge on the rate of decline is biased in two aspects which fragmented (West-dominated) geographic scope and narrow taxonomic focus studies dominated by bees agriculturally relevant species.This bias has resulted an unfortunate imbalance, whereby most biodiverse regions insect groups have less diversified data.We suggest evaluation four drivers this propose solutions to deal with (i) concept generalization, (ii) data accessibility, (iii) scattered environmental regulations, (iv) shifted infrastructure funding resources.Research legislation focused pollinator taxonomic, functional, diversity, involvement scientists policymaking, can help balance topic.Using search engines different languages, assistance Artificial Intelligence, facilitating Open Access research/data publishing, closer cooperation between developed developing countries may overcome ecological research pollination.
