Sporopollenin as a dilution agent in artificial diets for solitary bees (2020)
Journal Article
Tainsh, F., Woodmansey, S. R., Austin, A. J., Bagnall, T. E., & Gilbert, J. D. (in press). Sporopollenin as a dilution agent in artificial diets for solitary bees. Apidologie, https://doi.org/10.1007/s13592-020-00801-1

Nutritional studies often require precise control of nutrients via dilution of artificial diets with indigestible material, but such studies in bees are limited. Common diluents like cellulose typically result in total mortality of bee larvae, making... Read More about Sporopollenin as a dilution agent in artificial diets for solitary bees.

© The Royal Society of Chemistry 2020. Interest in gas sensing using functionalised carbon nanotubes is a major area of research that utilises changes in their electrical properties induced by the reaction with a specific gas. This paper describes sp... Read More about Detection of nitrous oxide using infrared optical plasmonics coupled with carbon nanotubes.
