Host plant‐specific volatiles of Beauveria bassiana‐colonized plants initiate trophic plant–aphid–predator cascades

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 9538-9552, October 2026.
Endophytic colonization of melon plants by B. bassiana modifies the crop volatile profiles in a genotype‐dependent manner. A predator choice is biased toward endophytically colonized plants infested with aphids revealing a guardian within effect of the fungus of great potential in integrated pest management.

Dose‐dependent efficacy of a novel dsRNA‐based solution containing vadescana for Varroa destructor control

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 9974-9983, October 2026.
Vadescana is a novel dsRNA‐based product that targets Varroa fecundity. Vadescana applied at 4 g/brood box in one application was most effective at reducing Varroa populations for up to 18 weeks. Abstract BACKGROUND A novel dsRNA‐based product, containing a molecule called vadescana, interferes with Varroa destructor (Anderson and Trueman) fecundity ...

How do insects pollinate flowers? Behaviour during visitation determines high pollination efficiency by a generalist insect

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3213-3224, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecosystem services provide essential benefits to human survival and well‐being. Animal behaviour is central to the delivery of many ecosystem services, yet we know little about how behaviour drives services' provision.

Foraging energetics reveals late‐summer challenges for pollinators across two British cities

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3200-3212, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Foraging bees often work within fine energetic margins, but recent work has shown that foraging conditions can vary markedly across the year. Despite the importance of seasonality for pollinator foraging, most work in this area has relied on indirect approaches. However,

Warming and community context drive rapid plant evolution

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3161-3175, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Abiotic and biotic factors are important drivers of plant evolution, but how these factors interact to influence plant evolution in multispecies communities is still poorly understood. We performed experimental evolution exposing Brassica rapa plants to a combination of

Pollen landscape saturation on pollinator bodies reduces pollen deposition by subsequently visited bat‐pollinated flowers

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3190-3199, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Sexual selection in flowering plants often operates through male–male competition, yet the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain difficult to demonstrate. One potential arena for such competition is pollen placement on pollinators, where pollen grains from ...

Optimising daily sampling of plant–bee interaction networks

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 10, Page 1903-1918, October 2026.
Daily variation in ecological interaction networks is rarely quantified due to limited temporal sampling, yet network structure may change substantially within a single day. We show that plant–bee networks exhibit strong intraday shifts in composition and structure, and that sampling distributed across key daily periods better captures network ...

When Bigger Is not Better: Corolla Length Increases Nectar Robbing in Aloe secundiflora Engl. (Asphodelaceae)

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Nectar robbing is a widespread but unevenly documented component of plant–pollinator interactions, and quantitative assessments from African savanna systems remain limited. Based on a short field survey conducted over two consecutive days, this study quantified the frequency and reproductive consequences of nectar robbing in a population of ...

Coinvasional disruptions to island pollinator networks

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Biological invasions can adversely affect pollinator diversity by threatening the maintenance of animal‐pollinated plant communities. Although most studies have examined single invasive species, accelerating species introductions driven by global trade highlight the need to understand how multiple co‐occurring invaders jointly influence ...

Bee Pollen: Clinical Trials and Patent Applications

open access: yesNutrients, 2022
Bee pollen is a natural cocktail of floral nectar, flower pollen, enzymes, and salivary secretions produced by honeybees. Bee pollen is one of the bee products most enriched in proteins, polysaccharides, polyphenols, lipids, minerals, and vitamins. It has a significant health and medicinal impact and provides protection against many diseases, including
