Species Extirpation and Colonization Reveal Mixed Homogenization and Differentiation Across Terrestrial Taxa After One of the World's Largest Tailings Dam Failures

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Fundão tailings‐dam failure (2015)—study area and impact gradient. Regional maps locate the Rio Doce Basin in southeastern Brazil and the Fundão dam (red cross), with the black rectangle marking the extent of the main map. The main map follows the downstream tailings pathway along the river corridor (plume highlight).

Total Protein and 10‐Hydroxy‐2‐Decenoic Acid Content, In Vitro Bioaccessibility, Antibacterial, and Antidiabetic Properties of Royal Jelly Collected at Different Harvesting Times

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
In this study, the total protein content and 10‐hydroxy‐2‐decenoic acid content were determined in royal jelly collected at the 72 and 144 h. In vitro bioaccessibility, antibacterial, and antidiabetic properties of royal jelly collected at the 72 and 144 h were also determined. ABSTRACT Royal jelly has received interest as a functional food.

Storage‐Induced Changes in Phenolic Profile and Antioxidant Capacity of Functional Blueberry Beverages Enriched With Propolis

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Development of functional blueberry beverages enriched with propolis extracts prepared using different solvent systems (water, glycerol–water, and propylene glycol–water). Propolis enrichment and storage conditions influenced the phenolic profile, antioxidant capacity, and physicochemical properties of the beverages during 12 months of storage in glass

Bee Bread Protects Small Intestinal Mucosa and Modulates Local Redox Responses in Streptozotocin‐Induced Diabetic Rats

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 70, Issue 16, 27 August 2026.
In streptozotocin‐induced diabetic rats, bee bread supplementation attenuated diabetes‐associated intestinal mucosal alterations and modulated local redox responses. Treatment reduced blood glucose levels and influenced the immunoreactivity patterns of Mn‐SOD and CAT, supporting a protective role of bee bread in maintaining small intestinal mucosal ...

Floral resource‐mediated multilayer networks: structure and pollinators' roles

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Resource availability shapes interactions among free‐living species, particularly in plant–pollinator mutualisms, where the composition of floral resource types influences pollinator foraging. Bees, known for utilizing a broad array of floral resources, play a crucial role in these dynamics. However, how the structure of interaction networks vary among

Chitosan‐protected dsRNA increases efficacy against Helicoverpa armigera without compromising biosafety for pollinators

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 7746-7757, August 2026.
Chitosan/tripolyphosphate/double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) nanoparticles enhance RNA interference efficacy of orally delivered dsRNA against Helicoverpa armigera. Nanoparticles reduce the LC50 and do not cause deleterious effects or toxicity on beneficial insects.

Reorganization without disruption: How fire‐driven spatiotemporal changes in floral resource landscapes influence plant–bee interaction networks

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
Contrary to fire suppression policies that promote ecological homogenization, we suggest that patchy prescribed fires could be used to enhance spatiotemporal diversity in the Cerrado by promoting fine‐scale heterogeneity in floral resources and resource‐mediated plant–bee interactions.

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

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1719-1736, August 2026.
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.

Hidden Microbiota Inhabiting in Pollen Reserves of Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) From Amazonas Region Revealed by DNA Metabarcoding

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
DNA metabarcoding of honey bee pollen reserves from Amazonas region reveals that microbial communities are strongly shaped by their ecosystem. Despite high taxonomic turnover across different habitats, these microbiomes maintain stable, essential functions for pollinator health, though they remain highly vulnerable to habitat homogenization.

Diversity of Mites Associated With Stingless Bees (Hymenoptera: Meliponini) in Forest Fragments in Brazil: Empirical Validation of an Efficient and Low‐Cost Sampling Method

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Despite the importance of understanding mite–bee interactions, standardized and noninvasive methods for sampling mite communities in stingless bee hives remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate a novel, low‐cost sampling technique using a custom‐built suction device, the Portable Mite Aspirator (PMA), for collecting mites from hives of ...
