Beyond Average Hive Performance: Tail Risk Measurement in Italian Apiculture With Honey‐at‐Risk

Environmetrics, Volume 37, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper provides a framework for measuring honey‐production risk that complements standard mean‐based analyses by explicitly targeting downside tail risk. Using hive‐weight data from a large sample of Italian hives over the period 2021–2024, downside tail risk is quantified through the Honey‐at‐Risk (HaR) metric, defined as the quantile of ...

Application of Species Distribution Models (SDMs) and Corridor Mapping for Conservation of an Endangered Charismatic Mammal: Brown Bear (Ursus arctos) in Iran

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The brown bear (Ursus arctos) is the largest terrestrial carnivore in Iran with a rapidly shrinking range. In this study, we assembled the most comprehensive and up‐to‐date distribution dataset of the brown bear in Iran. We applied Species Distribution Models (SDMs) and corridor mapping to identify this charismatic mammal's suitable habitats ...

The role and significance of beekeepers' education for the improvement of beekeeping

, 2023
The lack of professionally trained beekeepers is one of the biggest problems of beekeeping in Serbia. The great interest in beekeeping is not accompanied by the necessary theoretical and practical education that would enable those interested in this type of production to approach beekeeping in an adequate and quality way. This results in unprofessional

Nesting and Habitat Characteristics of White‐Browed Sparrow‐Weavers (Plocepasser mahali, Smith) at Chemeron, Baringo South, Kenya

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
. ABSTRACT Arid and semi‐arid lands (ASALs) support tropical wooded shrublands and grasslands that sustain a diverse array of flora and fauna, including specialized avian communities. However, as the demand for food, fuel, and other natural resources intensifies, these inherently fragile ecosystems face mounting pressure, resulting in significant ...

Machine Learning and Geospatial Modeling of Climate Change Impacts on Ethiopian Honeybees for Conservation and Resilient Agriculture

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
The current study used machine learning and geospatial analysis to predict how climate change will loosen and fragment suitable habitats for Ethiopian honeybees. Main factors like agro‐ecological zones and dry‐season precipitation were found to be critical for bee survival.

Beekeeping adoption: A case study of three smallholder farming communities in Baringo County, Kenya

Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development in the Tropics and Subtropics, 2018
In Kenya, beekeeping offers benefits which could make it attractive to smallholder farmers as a possible strategy for making their livelihoods more sustainable. However, its potential remains largely unexploited and the lack of new entrants is thought to

Population Genetic Study of vitellogenin in Honey Bees (Apis mellifera) With European Ancestry Identifies Two Ancestral Genetic Backgrounds

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our work shows that honey bee vitellogenin (Vg) segregates into two main haplotype versions (haplogroups) defined by 65 common polymorphisms. One haplogroup is abundant in A. m. mellifera conservatory samples, and at the protein level, we identify protein‐coding differences concentrated in the lipid‐binding cavity. This provides a foundation for future
