Understanding Pollination in Urban Food Production: The Importance of Data Validation and Participant Feedback for Citizen Science Project Design

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 157-175, January 2026.
Urban agriculture depends on insect pollination, but knowledge gaps persist due to difficulties accessing diverse growing spaces. We developed a citizen science approach for monitoring insect visits to crops and compared grower‐collected data to that of a trained researcher while also gathering participant feedback.

Effects of lithium chloride on queen egg‐laying performance and worker honey bee behavior

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 965-971, January 2026.
Chronic oral lithium chloride (LiCl) exposure effectively increases Varroa mite mortality without impairing queen egg laying or brood care behaviors, while significantly reducing worker bee aggression, suggesting its potential for safe Varroa management and mitigating colony aggression.

Host‐associated beneficial gut microbiota boosts induced immunity and limits immune deployment costs in bumblebees

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 1, Page 217-229, January 2026.
Our work demonstrates a key role for host‐associated microbiota in the realization of induced immune defense, and contributes more broadly to our understanding of microbiota‐immune interactions in the context of ecological immunology. Abstract Ecological immunology posits that variation in host resistance to infection may be attributed partly to the ...

Resource supplementation later in the colony cycle improves real‐world bumblebee colony survival

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our findings suggest that B. terrestris colonies became food‐limited towards the end of their colony cycle in early summer. We suggest ecological intensification through planting native wildflower species may be more effective if it targets this flowering period, particularly within heavily arable areas, and that a staggered patchwork of mowing or ...

Experimental enhancement of structural heterogeneity in forest landscapes promotes multidimensional hoverfly diversity

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our results provide the first experimental evidence that enhancing structural heterogeneity at the landscape scale can restore multidimensional hoverfly diversity in temperate forests. They underscore the management value of ESBC as a scalable tool to restore biodiversity, increase ecological resilience and counteract biotic homogenization in ...

UAV‐based remote sensing of bee nesting aggregations with computer vision for object detection

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our novel application of UAV imagery and object detection models for mapping and censusing ground nesting bee aggregations represents a rapid, cost‐effective solution for overcoming limitations in traditional manual methods. This workflow has applications for bee conservation, management and research such as monitoring bee nesting populations before ...
