Transforming Life Science Through Chromosome‐Level Genome Assemblies
Genes to Cells, Volume 31, Issue 5, September 2026.Chromosome‐level genome assemblies provide a framework for “glocal biology” in species of interest, linking local molecular features to chromosome architecture and evolutionary context. When integrated with pangenome analysis, comparative multi‐omics, genome language models, and experimental approaches, these assemblies enable hypothesis generation and

Combined Toxic Effects of Lead and Glyphosate on Apis cerana cerana
InsectsGlyphosate (GY) is the most widely used herbicide in agriculture worldwide. Lead is a common heavy metal in the natural environment. Honeybees, as pollinators, are exposed to these pollutants. So far, few reports have evaluated the toxic effects of GY mixed with heavy metals on honeybees (Apis cerana cerana). This study found that the acute toxicity of

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Rocky desertification exerts significant selective pressures on honeybee morphology. Honeybees undergo adaptive evolution in 19 genes such as glycogen biosynthesis. Genes like GBE promote organismal survival under desertification. ABSTRACT Unlike traditional desertification, rocky desertification is a distinct form of land degradation characterized by ...

The wild honeybee population of Europe is in decline: Evidence from monitoring studies
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.Studying the population trends of wild honeybees is possible when considering that managed and wild colonies form different subpopulations within regional honeybee metapopualtions. Abstract Populations of wild western honeybees (Apis mellifera) have been neglected because the species has been considered to consist of managed colonies only.

Behavioral Resistance in Varroa destructor: First Evidence in Response to Acaricide?
Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 122, Issue 3, July 2026.Varroa mites exhibited population‐dependent behavioral responses: two populationw avoided tau‐fluvalinate, and none showed specific behavioral responses to amitraz and oxalic acid, despite contrasting phenotypical resistance profiles. ABSTRACT The ectoparasite Varroa destructor (Mesostigmata: Varroidae) poses a major threat to honey bee colonies due to

Efficacy of Select Gene Targets for the Management of Western Flower Thrips Through RNA Interference
Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 122, Issue 3, July 2026.Western flower thrips (WFT) cause extensive damage to crops. RNA interference (RNAi) is being extensively researched for the management of this pest. We successfully demonstrated the uptake of dsRNA by WFT through artificial diet feeding and identified Promising new targets for the development of RNAi‐based pesticides have been identified.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.Microplastics (MP) pose a growing health risk to social Hymenoptera, with colony‐level risks depending on brood care strategies. During cooperative brood care, in the buff‐tailed bumblebee, MP is transferred from workers to larvae, but in the Japanese carpenter ant, the infrabuccal pocket prevents such transfer.

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.This study provides the molecular characterisation and phylogenetic analysis of Varroa destructor collected in Kastamonu, Türkiye. Using mitochondrial COI and cytb markers, the research identifies an identical K‐lineage, offering critical insights into the genetic diversity and evolutionary relationships within the region's mite populations.
