“…These weedy plots effectively attract and support bee communities. Members of Asteraceae attracted not only bees but other types of pollinators [29]. Native wildflowers attract pollinators to crops growing in close proximity [30].…”

A decline in pollinators is a real concern for the biodiversity and pollination of insect-dependent plants in landscapes and agriculture. Turfgrass is often presumed to be an ecological desert, as it is maintained at a low height with no floral resources for pollinators. Weeds are common on low-maintenance lawns in the southeastern USA and have rarely been studied as resources for pollinators. Thus, this study aimed to determine the abundance and diversity of bees on weed-infested lawns. Bees were sampled using yellow, white, and blue bowls and by bagging bees foraging on flowering weeds during the growing season from 2021 to 2023. Over three years, 539 bees from 16 genera were collected from weed-infested turfgrass lawns. Weeds were present throughout the growing seasons, and bees were also collected from them. Bombus, Apis, and Lasioglossum bees were the dominant genera collected. Large-sized bees, such as Bombus, were mostly collected from white clover (Trifolium repens L.), whereas small-sized bees, such as Lasioglossum, were mostly collected from common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale Weber). Other bee genera collected were Agapostemon, Augochlora, Augochlorella, Calliopsis, Ceratina, Epeolus, Halictus, Melissodes, Osmia, Panurginus, Ptilothrix, Svastra, and Xylocopa. This showed that a diverse group of bees utilized lawns infested with weeds.

“…Se han registrado mymáridos como controladores de insectos de la familia Cercopidae, plaga importante en caña de azúcar (Salazar et al, 2017). Además, A. conyzoides es una fuente conocida de néctar y polen para insectos polinizadores en variados ecosistemas (Deeksha et al, 2023).…”

Introducción. Las arvenses del cultivo de caña de azúcar pueden servir como reservorios de una gran cantidad de insectos benéficos útiles para el control biológico de plagas. Objetivo. Estudiar la asociación entre insectos benéficos y arvenses presentes en bordes de cañales. Materiales y métodos. Se realizaron visitas mensuales desde abril hasta diciembre del 2018, a dos sitios, El Palmar y Turrialba, en dos regiones cañeras de Costa Rica. Se seleccionaron 20 puntos de muestreo al azar en donde se aspiraron todos los insectos contenidos en una estructura cuboide de 0,25 m3. Se identificaron las especies de plantas, así como las familias y morfoespecies de insectos presentes; estos últimos se clasificaron de acuerdo con su hábito alimenticio. Luego, se realizó un análisis de co-ocurrencia entre arvenses e insectos. Resultados. Se identificaron 140 especies de arvenses pertenecientes a 41 familias, 83 especies en El Palmar y 120 en Turrialba. La diversidad y riqueza de arvenses fue mayor en Turrialba. Se identificaron 13 689 artrópodos distribuidos en 137 familias; la diversidad, riqueza y abundancia en ambos sitios fue similar. Las familias Poaceae y Cicadellidae fueron identificados en mayor frecuencia en ambas zonas. En el análisis de co-ocurrencia la arvense Kyllinga brevifolia Rottb., presentó una asociación positiva (p<0,05) con las familias de insectos depredadores Coccinellidae, Syrphidae y Dolichopodidae. La familia de insectos parasitoides Eulophidae se asoció con ocho especies de arvenses. Conclusiones. Se determinó asociación entre especies de arvenses e insectos benéficos en el cultivo de caña de azúcar, por lo que se puede asociar su papel al mantenimiento de las poblaciones de enemigos naturales para el control de plagas.

“…This diversity within the Indian Asteraceae family significantly enhances the availability of medicinal plants for traditional healing practices. These plants may be found in various environments, ranging from woodlands and grasslands to wetlands, and they exhibit a wide range in size, from small herbs to large shrubs (Mg et al, 2023). Achillea millefolium, Arnica Montana, Bellis perennis, Calendula officinalis, Chamaemelum nobile, Eupatorium cannabinum, Helichrysum stoechas, and Taraxacum officinale are some of the examples frequently utilized for traditional treatment of hysteria.…”

Background: Anomalist psychology bases supernatural explanations on psychological and physical traits. Maladaptive psychopathological behaviors disturb life. Religious healers, help many patients and caregivers. On this basis, the current study explores the prevalence and cultural perceptions of hysteria among rural communities in Odisha's Balangir and Bargarh districts, India. Traditional therapies for psychopathological illnesses are commonly used in these communities, and we investigate the usage of medicinal plants by traditional healers.Methods: Through a six-month study involving various research methods, we identified 40 plant species across 25 families that are frequently used for treating hysteria and other psychiatric disorders. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the credit score of traditional herbs, and we found that plant leaf powder was frequently employed orally for most treatments.Results: The study found that traditional healers in the Balangir and Bargarh ethnic communities frequently use plant leaf powder, including species such as Chromolaena odorata (L.) R.M.King & H.Rob. and Murraya paniculata (L.) Jack, for the treatment of hysteria and other psychiatric disorders. Conclusion:The pharmacological research of these plants could provide useful insights for the treatment of mental health disorders. This study highlights the importance of traditional therapies in managing psychopathological illnesses in rural India.
