Edible Biopolymer Coatings for Postharvest Preservation in Warm‐Chain Horticultural Supply Chain: Mechanisms, Materials, Design Strategies, and Future Directions

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Fresh fruit and vegetable postharvest losses reach 30%–50% between harvest and consumption, concentrated in low‐ and middle‐income countries where warm‐chain supply chains (20°C–35°C, 55%–85% relative humidity, intermittent handling) replace the refrigerated cold chains conventional technology assumes.

Ants contribute to raspberry pollination in protected cropping systems

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 648-657, November 2026.
Ants visited raspberry flowers more frequently than European honey bees (Apis mellifera), Australian stingless bees (Tetragonula carbonaria) and flies, many transporting raspberry pollen on their bodies, indicating potential pollination capacity. Ants were active flower visitors at most times of the day and may extend the daily pollination window and ...

Colony‐level pollen collection reflects visitation of managed bumble bees (Bombus impatiens) in strawberry fields and surrounding landscapes without reducing pollen limitation

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 636-647, November 2026.
We extracted pollen from colony beeswax to quantify season‐long, colony‐level resource use and tested how managed Bombus impatiens visitation and Rosaceae pollen collection relate to landscape context and strawberry pollination. Increased managed bumble bee visitation was not influenced by surrounding landcover, did not reduce pollen limitation and ...
