Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 526-536, September 2026.First comparative study in oxidative stress between wild bees and managed bees. Bees collected from organic landscapes exhibited the lowest OX levels. Pesticide profiles were different among landscapes. Abstract Oxidative stress (OX) is a state of imbalance between antioxidants and reactive oxygen species, which are the byproducts of oxidative ...

Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1937-1959, August 2026.ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.We adopted ddRAD‐seq and chloroplast genome sequencing to explore the genetic characteristics of the danxia‐endemic species Viola hybanthoides. This species exhibits extremely low within‐population genetic diversity and obvious genetic differentiation, which is mainly driven by habitat fragmentation, restricted gene flow and Quaternary climatic changes.

Mutualism and Antagonism in a Post‐Extinction Hawaiian Bird–Lobelioid Pollination System
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Species loss can restructure plant–pollinator interactions, but the functional consequences of altered interactions remain unclear. Using camera observations and experimental manipulations in Hawaiian lobelioids, we show that nectarivorous birds differ in whether visits result in pollen contact or nectar robbing, with robbing altering nectar dynamics ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.We identified lesser dung fly (Sphaeroceridae) visitors of the deceptive Arum maculatum and asked, whether the communities of these flies vary geographically, are shaped by floral scents, and predict the reproductive success of this plant species. Our data revealed that sphaerocerid visitors of A. maculatum are taxonomically highly diverse (20 species,

Assessing Biodiversity in Agricultural Landscapes Through Drone‐Based Environmental DNA Sampling
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.We developed a drone‐based environmental DNA (eDNA) swabbing method to assess hexapod diversity in agricultural fields under three management types (conventional, organic, and IP‐Suisse), detecting 75 taxa across 19 families. eDNA replicates showed consistent within‐field results, though no significant differences in diversity were found between ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Species with wind & insect pollination syndromes show distinct age structure patterns. Splitting insect pollination into different categories show constrasting age structure. Modern flowering seasons track paleotemperature signatures. ABSTRACT Across the planet, angiosperm diversification has been shaped by palaeoclimates and biotic interactions ...

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 ...
