Light and Pollination Limitation Alter Patterns of Fitness and Phenotypic Selection in Sagittaria trifolia L.: Insights From Sequential Inflorescences

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We examined how light limitation and reduced pollinator access influence female fitness and phenotypic selection in Sagittaria trifolia across sequential inflorescences. Open‐grown plants produced the most inflorescences, flowers, and seeds, whereas mesh‐enclosed plants compensated for low early fruit set through later reproductive adjustment and ...

Good to the Last Drop? Nectar Depletion by Insect Pollinators Varies Among Plant Species and Through Time

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Understanding how pollinators compete for available floral resources (nectar, pollen, etc.) across time is poorly studied, especially in the western hemisphere. To address this knowledge gap, we measured nectar availability and subsequent depletion as a proxy for resource competition intensity among pollinators in an early successional old field ...

Fat‐tailed dispersal shapes connectivity in a solitary bee

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Dispersal—movement potentially leading to gene flow—is a fundamental ecological process yet notoriously difficult to measure. For solitary bees in particular, determining the spatial scale of dispersal movements and how landscape features influence connectivity is key to achieving conservation goals. Over 2 years, we marked 1698 females of the

Beyond the treeline: Are wood‐nesting bees and wasps limited by nesting habitat at high elevations?

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Although climate suitability is often thought to be the most important determinant of species ranges, non‐climate variables such as biotic interactions, dispersal abilities, and habitat quality may play equally important roles as range‐limiting factors.

Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles for Food Applications: From Synthesis and Functional Properties to Safety and Sustainability

open access: yesFood Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
Green and conventional synthesis routes produce ZnO nanoparticles with tunable physicochemical properties for food applications, ZnO‐NPs enhance antimicrobial activity, UV protection, and food preservation through ROS generation and ZN2+ release. However, particle dissolution, migration, cytotoxicity, and environmental concerns highlight the need for ...

Marine Isotope Stage 4 glaciation in northern England, UK: Evidence from Victoria Cave, North Yorkshire

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 770-783, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Victoria Cave, north Yorkshire, England, contains a long sequence of Pleistocene clastic sediments and calcite flowstones. Earlier work, using U–Th dating, established that the flowstone units formed in interglacial stages corresponding to Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 13, 11, 9, 7 and 5.
