Two Metschnikowia nectar yeast species have similar volatile profiles but elicit differential foraging in bee pollinators

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Yeasts that specialize in flower nectar play an important role in pollination ecology. Metschnikowia reukaufii and Metschnikowia koreensis were the most prevalent nectar yeasts found in our field sites. Bee pollinators exhibited different behavioural responses to nectar yeasts in field experiments. Bees visited more flowers with M.

Spatial patterns of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) genetic diversity in continental Portugal: the story told by mitochondrial DNA [PDF]

, 2010
Over 24 honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) subspecies occur naturally in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Morphological and molecular markers have grouped this wide-ranging diversity into four lineages (A, M, C, O).

Phylogenomics Controlling for Base Compositional Bias Reveals a Single Origin of Eusociality in Corbiculate Bees. [PDF]

, 2016
As increasingly large molecular data sets are collected for phylogenomics, the conflicting phylogenetic signal among gene trees poses challenges to resolve some difficult nodes of the Tree of Life.

Gene content evolution in the arthropods [PDF]

, 2020
Arthropods comprise the largest and most diverse phylum on Earth and play vital roles in nearly every ecosystem. Their diversity stems in part from variations on a conserved body plan, resulting from and recorded in adaptive changes in the genome ...

Is bee‐avoidance by bird‐pollinated flowers driven by nectar robbing in Erica?

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 1046-1060, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nectar robbing (consuming nectar from a perforated flower without pollinating) generally negatively affects plant fecundity, and plants exhibit multiple mechanisms in defence.

Biogeography from a food matrix: a temporal distribution map of Apis mellifera mitochondrial DNA lineages across Italy, obtained from honey samples

Scientific Reports
The genetic integrity of European Apis mellifera subspecies has been increasingly threatened. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis is widely used to investigate honey bee lineage distribution. Honey represents a valuable source of environmental DNA (eDNA),

MtDNA Analysis Indicates Human-Induced Temporal Changes of Serbian Honey Bees Diversity

Insects, 2021
Local populations of Apis mellifera are rapidly changing by modern beekeeping through the introduction of nonnative queens, selection and migratory beekeeping.

The atlantic side of the iberian peninsula: a hot-spot of novel maternal honey bee diversity [PDF]

, 2011
The Iberian Peninsula harbors one the highest mitocondrial DNA (mtDNA) diversity ever reported for honey bee subspecies. This finding is explained not only by the co-occurrence of two divergent evolutionary lineages, western European (lineage M) and ...

Transmisssion Dynamics of Enterococcus spp. Throughout the Heliconius erato phyllis (Lepidoptera; Nymphalidae) Life Cycle

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Enterococcus spp. dominate the gut microbiota of Heliconius erato phyllis, transmitted horizontally via host plants (Passiflora suberosa) and persisting through development. Multidrug‐resistant strains were found in larvae and plants, suggesting environmental reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance. This study reveals key microbial transmission dynamics
