A botanic garden as a tool to combine public perception of nature and life-scie...
GIOVANETTI, MANUELA; Giuliani, Claudia; Boff, Samuel; Fico, Gelsomina; Lupi, DanielaLife-sciences are pointing towards an alarming worldwide pollinator decline. This decline proceeds along with overall biodiversity losses, even in the context of urban landscapes and human welfare. At the same time, social-sciences are arguing an increased distance from nature, experienced by citizens. The strong connection between the public good and pollinator sustainability, even in urban areas, is well-docu...
Tools to Tie: Flower Characteristics, VOC Emission Profile, and Glandular Trich...
Giuliani, Claudia; GIOVANETTI, MANUELA; Lupi, Daniela; Mesiano, Marco Palamara; Barilli, Renata; Ascrizzi, Roberta; Flamini, Guido; Fico, GelsominaA plant can combine physical and chemical tools to interact with other organisms. Some are designed for pollinator attraction (i.e., colors and volatile organic compounds-VOCs); others can act to discourage herbivores (i.e., non-glandular trichomes). Few studies fully address available tools in a single species; notwithstanding, this information can be pivotal in understanding new interactions out of the home r...
