Social Structure and Interactions Differentially Shape Aerotolerant and Anaerobic Gut Microbiomes in a Cooperative Breeding Species

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 7, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Social transmission of microbes has profound impacts on disease epidemiology and host health. However, how social factors influence gut microbiome (GM) transmission in wild populations is not well understood. Here, we use a wild population of the Seychelles warbler, a facultative cooperatively breeding passerine, to determine whether ...

Medical honey for wound care—Still the ‘Latest Resort’?

, 2008
While the ancient Egyptians and Greeks used honey for wound care, and a broad spectrum of wounds are treated all over the world with natural unprocessed honeys from different sources, Medihoney™ has been one of the first medically certified honeys ...

Large-scale mitochondrial DNA analysis of native honey bee Apis mellifera populations reveals a new African subgroup private to the South West Indian Ocean islands

BMC Genetics, 2017
Background The South West Indian Ocean (SWIO) archipelagos and Madagascar constitute a hotspot of biodiversity with a high rate of endemism. In this area, the endemic subspecies A. m. unicolor has been described in Madagascar.

Genetic Basis of Cuticular Hydrocarbon Variation in the Desert Ant Cataglyphis niger

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are a ubiquitous component of ant cuticles that are used for a wide range of chemical signaling functions, especially recognition. Here we tested for a genetic basis of CHC variation in the desert ant Cataglyphis niger. We applied a genomic mapping approach to discover associations between CHCs and 20 quantitative trait ...

Occurrence of Lotmaria Passim in Africanized and European Honey Bee, Apis Mellifera , Lineages from the United States

Journal of Apicultural Science
Abstract Honey bee populations in the United States have been under stress for the past several decades. Several internal parasites may contribute to this, including the trypanosome Lotmaria passim . It is unknown how widespread the honey bee parasite, L.

Revisiting the Definition and Recognition of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities for Biodiversity Conservation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This paper presents how common definitional criteria for Indigenous Peoples – such as self‐identification and cultural distinctiveness – are often used selectively and fall short of recognising their collective land rights. Drawing on case studies, our paper argues that legal recognition of Indigenous land rights is essential for effective biodiversity

The antibacterial activity of honey: 2. Variation in the potency of the antibacterial activity

, 1992
Honey is gaining acceptance by the medical profession for use as an antibacterial agent for the treatment of ulcers and bed sores, and other surface infections resulting from burns and wounds. In many cases it is being used with success on infections not

The Fettered and the Flea: A New Poem by Edmund Waller☆

Renaissance Studies, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 41-54, February 2026.
Abstract This contribution explores for the first time a 22‐line poem in a British Library manuscript, ‘To a young lady that kept a flea chay’nd in a box’, which can be convincingly ascribed to Edmund Waller. Its most famous relative is Donne’s ‘The Flea’, but its ancestry differs.
