Air pollution and its multifaceted effects on insect pollinators: A review

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 1-17, February 2026.
Air pollution disrupts plant‐pollinator interactions by impairing floral signal transmission, altering foraging behaviour, and reducing pollinator fitness, flight efficiency, reproduction and survival, posing serious threats to ecological stability.

Molecular Screening of Black Flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) for Vector‐Borne Zoonotic Pathogens, South Moravia, Czech Republic

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 95-106, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Black flies (Simuliidae) are globally distributed blood‐feeding arthropods and vectors of viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens to many animal species, including humans. We investigated the occurrence of selected vector‐borne pathogens in black flies in South Moravia, Czech Republic, and evaluated their possible role in the ...

Nutritional and Temporal Effects on Hypopharyngeal Glands of Africanized Honeybees (Hymenoptera – Apidae)

Sociobiology, 2014
The hypopharyngeal gland (HG), along with the mandibular gland from Apis mellifera workers plays a fundamental role on the development of the hive.

Morphometric analysis of 2 southern African races of honeybee [PDF]

Apidologie, 1994
Les populations d'abeilles (Apis mellifera L) d'Afrique du Sud ont ete echantillonnees dans 32 localites differentes (liste dans le tableau I). Vingt abeilles ont ete prelevees par colonie a raison de 6 colonies par localite. On a mesure 36 caracteres sur chaque abeille (tableaux II, III). Les caracteres retenus sont ceux decrits par Ruttner (1988). On

Associations of Specific Pesticides and Incident Rheumatoid Arthritis Among Female Spouses in the Agricultural Health Study

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Volume 78, Issue 1, Page 49-58, January 2026.
Objectives Growing evidence suggests farming and agricultural pesticide use may be associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but few studies have examined specific pesticides and RA among women living on farms, who may personally use pesticides or may be indirectly exposed.

Genetic structure of honeybee populations from southern Brazil and Uruguay

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2003
Apis mellifera scutellata was introduced to Brazil in 1956 and Africanized honeybee populations have now spread from Argentina to the southwestern United States. Temperate climatic restrictions seem to be a natural limit to Africanized honeybee expansion

First Measurements of Mixed Floral Traits Influencing Anacardium occidentale (Anacardeacae) Attractiveness to Bees in Côte d'Ivoire: Conservation and Agricultural Implications

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This paper will contribute to include/use the bees' floral preference (floral traits related to bee' visitations) to find and validate genetic markers that would enable breeding high‐yielding cashew plants and preserving pollinators. ABSTRACT In Sub‐Saharan Africa, cashew plants face challenges in suitable pollination and good agronomic performances ...

Enhancing Mead Aroma Using Non-Saccharomyces Yeast β-Glucosidase Producers Isolated from Honey: A Case Study in the Upper Turi Region

Fermentation
The Upper Turi region in the Maranhão Amazon is a significant producer of honeybees, and mead production represents a cost-effective means of adding value to the honey production chain. This study investigates non-Saccharomyces yeasts isolated from honey

Pollinator‐dependence and specialization in three sunbird‐pollinated, fire‐stimulated flowering species

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 215-224, January 2026.
Through field observations and experimental verification, we found that three bird‐pollinated plant species with fire‐stimulated flowering specialize in, and heavily depend on, sunbirds for pollination and reproduction. Abstract Fires dramatically reduce both floral resources and pollinator abundance, potentially compromising flowering plant ...

Understanding Stress Response in Superorganisms: A Multi‐Level and Cybernetic Approach

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
All multicellular organisms have a nested stress response system, and understanding how stress effects propagate across biological levels is key to predicting their impact on the organism or superorganism. Superorganisms, like honeybee and ant colonies, represent good models to study stress response systems across different levels of biological ...
