Genetic differentiation and adaptive evolution of buff‐tailed bumblebees in Asia

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the genetic differentiation and local adaptation of the buff‐tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) across its European and Asian populations. Using whole‐genome resequencing, we identified distinct genetic differences between populations, with Asian B. terrestris representing a unique genetic resource.

Urban peatlands can harbour diverse insect communities but depend on appropriate habitat management

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Urban peatlands can support high insect diversity, including endangered species and peat bog specialists. Flower diversity boosts endangered species, while succession cover reduces overall insect richness—but bog condition and urbanization showed no major effects.

Bridging the implementation gap in MCABC inventory management: from a taxonomy to practical archetypes

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite increasing demands for resilient and sustainable supply chains, inventory management often relies on outdated single‐criterion analyses. While multi‐criteria ABC (MCABC) analyses provide a theoretically mature assessment of resilience‐sustainability‐benefit trade‐offs in inventory, their adoption remains limited due to fragmented ...

Assessing forest fragmentation and biodiversity impacts in sub‐Saharan Africa: Methodological challenges and conservation strategies for small‐scale agricultural landscapes

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Tropical forests in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) harbor around one‐third of the world's species but are becoming more fragmented due to the expansion of human settlements and small‐scale agricultural (SCA) areas. This study systematically reviewed the approaches and methods used to analyze forest fragmentation and its impact on biodiversity in SSA,

Automated Tuberculosis Detection in Chest Radiographs: A Hybrid Deep Learning Framework for Clinical Decision Support

Applied AI Letters, Volume 7, Issue 2, June 2026.
A hybrid deep learning framework integrating VGG16, ResNet50, and DenseNet121 is proposed for automated tuberculosis detection from chest X‐ray images. Feature‐level fusion enhances robustness and generalization, achieving 97.4% accuracy across multiple public datasets, supporting reliable clinical decision‐making in resource‐limited healthcare ...

A novel artificial bee colony based clustering algorithm for categorical data.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Data with categorical attributes are ubiquitous in the real world. However, existing partitional clustering algorithms for categorical data are prone to fall into local optima. To address this issue, in this paper we propose a novel clustering algorithm,

Why we age

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 911-925, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Three categories of explanations exist for why we age: mechanistic theories, which omit reference to evolutionary forces; weakening force of selection theories, which posit that barriers exist that prevent evolutionary forces from optimising fitness in ageing; and optimisation theories, which posit that evolutionary forces actually select for ...
