From Meliponary to Science: Quality and Properties of Scaptotrigona aff. postica Pollen

Journal of Food Quality, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Bee pollen is a superfood with high nutritional and functional values, and its quality can be influenced by factors such as particle size and processing. This study investigated the physicochemical composition, the presence of bioactive compounds, and the quality of pollen from Scaptotrigona aff.

Comparing GHG Emissions of Residue‐Based BECCS to Alternative Biomass Uses

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 17, Issue 12, December 2025.
We compare the total emissions of two future BECCS plants in the Netherlands using wood and bagasse residues to the current coal‐biomass plants. Then we assess the BECCS emissions overtime compared to different uses of the same biomass wood and bagasse residues.

Local and landscape features of urban fragments determine the occurrence of stingless bees As características locais e paisagísticas dos fragmentos urbanos determinam a ocorrência de uma espécie de abelhas sem ferrão

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 1027-1036, November 2025.
Both local and landscape factors associated with habitat availability and quality determine the persistence of stingless bees across fragments. Places where the species occurs have local and landscape characteristics distinctive from those where it is absent.

Beyond Deception: What Else Do Flower Wasps (Hymenoptera: Thynnidae: Thynninae) Do in Flowers Worldwide?

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 9, Page 1351-1363, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Wasps, although less recognised as good pollinators, also feed on nectar and pollinate flowers. Specialised pollination systems, such as orchids that mimic the pheromones of female wasps to attract males, are complex and specific. This interaction occurs with some Thyninnae wasps that also visit flowers to obtain nectar and perform other ...

Integrating Population Genomics and Historical Occurrence Data to Assess the Impact of Land‐Use Changes on Centris Oil Bees in the Brazilian Cerrado

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 22, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Habitat loss and fragmentation (HLF) are among the major drivers of bee decline, yet closely related species often show contrasting responses depending on their ecological and demographic traits. The Brazilian Cerrado biodiversity hotspot experiences among the world's highest rates of HLF.

Temporal and Ontogenetic Changes in Feeding Ecology of a Characid From Karst Dolines of the Neotropics

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 34, Issue 4, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Environmental and biological factors strongly shape fish diets, yet little is known about such influences in flooded Karst Dolines of the Neotropical region. This study examined the diet of Deuterodon luetkenii and assessed its temporal and ontogenetic variation in Lagoa Misteriosa, a karstic lagoon. Fish were sampled bimonthly over 1 year and

Exploring the importance of aromatic plants' extrafloral volatiles for pollinator attraction

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 2, Page 517-528, October 2025.
Summary Aromatic plants occur in many plant lineages and have widespread ethnobiological significance. Yet, the ecological significance and evolutionary origins of aromatic volatile emissions remain uncertain. Aromatic emissions have been implicated in defensive interactions but may also have other important functions.

Bee Body Size and Foraging Behavior Predict the Pollination Role of Bees in a Buzz‐Pollinated Plant Community

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
We investigated how bee traits influence pollination success in a buzz‐pollinated plant community. Larger body size and floral sonication strongly predicted stigma contact, a proxy for pollination efficiency, while longer handling times were associated with reduced effectiveness.

Ants on flowers: Protective ants impose a low but variable cost to pollination, moderated by location of extrafloral nectaries and type of flower visitor

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 8, Page 2187-2198, August 2025.
Individuals who engage in multiple mutualisms often have to pay indirect costs because of the interference of one mutualism on another. We found that protective ants had a low but variable impact on pollination, especially on the flower visitation by bees and when EFNs are close to inflorescences.
