Bumble bee abundance and diversity increase with the intensity of tallgrass prairie restoration intervention

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Human land use intensification and the resulting habitat loss are primary drivers of insect pollinator declines. Habitat restoration offers a promising approach to counteract these declines, yet landscape‐level evaluations of bee responses to restoration and management remain limited.

Current Knowledge on Phytoremediation Potential of Industrial Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) for PFAS and Heavy Metal Contaminated Soils

Remediation Journal, Volume 36, Issue 2, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT This review synthesizes current research on the phytoremediation potential of industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) for heavy metals, including arsenic, aluminium, mercury, copper, lead, cadmium, nickel, and zinc, as well as per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly referred to as “forever chemicals.” A structured and transparent ...

Stability analysis and yield potential of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) genotypes in Western Ethiopia

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is a significant oil crop that can be cultivated in various regions worldwide. Multi‐environmental yield trials can be used to identify superior genotypes across different locations. Thus, the objectives of the study are to identify superior sunflower genotypes that are stable, highly productive, and disease ...

Road air pollution harms the reproductive success of a bee‐pollinated wildflower: A dusty threat to biodiversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1567-1571, September 2026.
Dust, a common form of air pollution, is particularly problematic on roadsides, which are important habitats for plants and pollinators. We investigated whether and how road dust affects plant sexual reproduction using Primula chungensis in a biodiversity hotspot. Our study provides compelling evidence that road dust can harm plant reproductive success

Co‐Flowering Plant Species in a Glasshouse Boost Both Strawberry Production and Bee Health

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
Integrating co‐flowering plants into glasshouse strawberry systems creates a “win‐win” synergy where floral diversification enhances stingless bee vitality and crop visitation. This approach increased A‐grade fruit from 25% to 70%, demonstrating that strategic biodiversity integration optimises both pollinator health and sustainable agricultural ...

Harnessing exotic germplasm for red clover improvement: Tracking genomic introgression and deploying genomic selection

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is a globally important temperate forage legume. Its symbiosis with soil‐borne rhizobia enables nitrogen fixation, and its ability to produce quality forage under diverse soil conditions enhances pasture productivity, particularly during water deficits.

Consistent Buzz‐Pollination Posture Suggests Division of Labour Between Dimorphic Stamens in Bredia hirsuta (Melastomataceae) on Okinawa‐Jima Island, Japan

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
Bredia hirsuta, a small pollen flower, is buzz‐pollinated by Amegilla dulcifera in a posture separating ventral gripping from dorsal stigma contact. The bee grips short‐stamen ventrally, while the stigma contacts the dorsal abdomen near long‐stamen anther tips.

Projected Climate‐Suitable Area for Apis mellifera (Apidae) and Its Spatial Overlap With a Mining Tailings Footprint in South‐East Brazil

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 8, Page 1017-1024, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change and environmental disasters can jointly impact species distributions and ecosystem stability, including pollinators and the resources they rely on. We used occurrence and climate data to predict the distribution of Apis mellifera in the Doce River Basin, south‐east Brazil, under baseline and future scenarios (2050).

The richness, frequency and relatedness components of mate diversity and mate portfolios

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3703-3713, September 2026.
The effects of (a) equal and (b, c) unequal contributions to mate portfolios by 10 mates on (d) Hill‐number mate diversity profiles (see Eqn 1). Summary Sexual reproduction produces genetically diverse families, especially when individuals mate with multiple partners.
