Study on Floral Syndrome and Breeding System of an Endangered Species Rhododendron nymphaeoides
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.This study divided the flowering process of Rhododendron nymphaeoides into five periods and systematically investigated the floral traits, pollen morphology and viability, optimal solid media for in vitro pollen germination, storage temperature screening, pollen–ovule ratio and hybridization index, stigma receptivity, the effects of different ...

Global variation in honey bee (Apis mellifera) mating flight times
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 5, Page 830-843, December 2025.ABSTRACT During the mating season, male (drone) honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) make daily flights to drone congregation areas (DCAs) for the purpose of mating with a virgin queen. The timing of these flights (drone flight period) varies between geographic regions. However, the spatial scale over which variation occurs and the mechanisms contributing to

Insect floral visitors vary spatiotemporally and influence fruit production in mango orchards
Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 6, Page 1121-1136, December 2025.Native stingless bees (Tetragonula spp.) were the most abundant flower visitors in mango orchards, and their visitation sharply declined with distance from native vegetation. Hover flies and stingless bees showed complementary spatiotemporal visitation patterns, but hover flies could not fully offset pollination loss deeper in the orchard.

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 12, December 2025.We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis of 35 studies to examine the relationship between distance to natural habitat and pollinator abundance, species richness and crop fruit set in tropical smallholder farms. We found no consistent effects on abundance or fruit set, and only a slight, highly variable negative effect on pollinator richness,

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 24, December 2025.ABSTRACT Pollinators harbour diverse RNA viromes that play a vital role in their health. Yet, factors that shape viral communities are often unclear. The European honey bee (Apis mellifera) is experiencing a viral epidemic since the emergence of the parasitic mite Varroa destructor (varroa) introduced vector‐borne transmission, which has also been ...
