Environmental Impact of Radiofrequency Fields from Mobile Phone Base Stations
TL;DR: In this paper, a review examines the potential environmental impact of radiofrequency (RF) fields emitted by mobile phone base station antennas and other sources of RF radiation and concludes that these studies do not provide any evidence that observed biological effects are associated with exposure to the electromagnetic fields.

Phenology, reproductive biology and growing degree days of the grapevine ‘Isabel’ (Vitis labrusca, Vitaceae) cultivated in northeastern Brazil
TL;DR: The phonological results, including knowledge of growing degree days, are important to the planning of cultures at the study site and in other regions that have similar climatic conditions and make it possible to pre-determine the harvest.
Top working method and bloom density of pollinizers as productive determinant for spur type apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) cultivars
TL;DR: ‘Manchurian’ crab was found to be very efficient as pollinizer, followed by ‘Stark Spur’ for spur type ‘Oregon Spur” apple cultivar on the basis of higher bloom density and fruit set parameters, and better yield efficiency in 4th year.

Variable pollen viability and effects of pollen load size on components of seed set in cultivars and feral populations of oilseed rape.
TL;DR: In oilseed rape a relatively low pollen load may be sufficient for full seed set in some cultivars, suggesting less dependence on insect pollination for high yield than generally expected and showing that previously less investigated floral traits, such as pollen viability, pollen tube growth rate and flower number, can differ between cultivars.

Relationships between flowering plants and four species of bombus (hymenoptera: apidae) in southern ontario
TL;DR: These bees’ life histories and flower preferences made them potentially effective pollinators of early-flowering economic crops, Ribes spp.
