Tropical Bee Assemblage Diversity Decreases With Elevation While Body Size Increases
Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.Photos of bee specimens collected in the Colombian Andes across a nearly 3000 m elevational cline. They are arranged to illustrate both the decline in richness with elevation and the increase in community average body size with elevation. ABSTRACT Elevation gradients are powerful drivers of changes in species composition, richness, and functional ...

Diversity of Resilin Incidence in the Insect Leg
Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 6, June 2026.Resilin incidences in the insect cuticle are commonly detected by fluorescence microscopy using the property of Resilin protein matrices to emit blue light after excitation with UV light. This indirect method produces significant background signal.

Community composition mediates interannual shifts in pollinators' roles within networks
Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.Plant–pollinator networks are complex structures that describe interactions between plants and pollinators within ecological communities. Understanding how these networks are organized is crucial for the preservation of populations, communities, and ecosystem services, because network structure is linked to the function and resilience of communities ...

Molecular mechanisms of sex determination in Lepidoptera: current status and perspectives
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 599-617, April 2026.The genetic basis of sex determination in Lepidoptera was discovered in 2014 in the silkworm Bombyx mori. In this model species, the W chromosome‐derived small piRNA called Fem piRNA downregulates the expression of a Z‐linked gene, Masculinizer (Masc), which leads to the default female‐specific splicing of the doublesex gene (dsxF) and thus to female ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 303-318, May 2025.The information learned from discovered wild bumble bee nests can be of great conservation value if studied in situ and post‐season excavation in a standardised way. We provide standardised guidance to follow when nest discoveries arise, including key conservation questions and methodological guidelines to study behaviour, floral use, genetics, body ...

American Journal of Botany, Volume 111, Issue 12, December 2024.Using a farm‐scale experiment, we investigated how the mating outcomes (expected heterozygosity and paternity correlation) of Cyanus segetum in agroecological infrastructures (herbaceous field margins) are affected by the interplay between pollinator functional group abundance and, respectively, the relative maternal plant attractiveness and the local ...

From Egg to Adult: A Developmental Table of the Ant Monomorium pharaonis
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 342, Issue 8, Page 557-585, December 2024.Ants are an emerging model for eco–evo–devo studies. Here, we present the first complete developmental table––from embryo to metamorphosis––for the ant Monomorium pharaonis. While doing so, we discovered embryos with two different patterns of localization of germ cells that will develop either into fertile (queen) embryos or into sterile (worker ...
