Small Midges, Major Consequences: Partial Declines in Cocoa Pollination and Their Economic Impact in West Africa and Beyond

open access: yesAgricultural Economics, Volume 57, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Cocoa production forms the backbone of West Africa's agricultural economy, sustaining smallholder farmers whose livelihoods depend on stable yields. Critical to these yields is the provision of pollination services by a few key species, notably, the minuscule Forcipomyia spp.

Tropical Bee Assemblage Diversity Decreases With Elevation While Body Size Increases

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.
Photos of bee specimens collected in the Colombian Andes across a nearly 3000 m elevational cline. They are arranged to illustrate both the decline in richness with elevation and the increase in community average body size with elevation. ABSTRACT Elevation gradients are powerful drivers of changes in species composition, richness, and functional ...

Do Coexisting Cryptic Species of Predatory Peacock Bass (Cichliformes: Cichlidae) Partition Their Niche?

open access: yesEcology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The mechanisms facilitating coexistence of cryptic species in sympatry have long puzzled ecologists. Cryptic species have nearly identical morphology and, therefore, would be presumed to have high niche overlap and potential for interspecific competition and competitive exclusion when resources are limited. Lowland rivers in South America have

The European Dream: Migration Narratives of Transpinays

open access: yesInternational Migration, Volume 64, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT LGBTQI+ Filipinos migrate from the Philippines to Europe for several reasons. However, why is Europe a favoured destination, particularly for transgender women of the Philippines? How do intermediaries become instrumental in linking minority migrants to the wider European landscape for integration?

Do Laboratory‐Reared Flies Perform Differently as Pollinators? Morphology, Behaviour and Pollination Performance of Eristalis tenax (Syrphidae)

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 716-727, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Flies (Diptera) are important pollinators in global agriculture, yet little is known about how intraspecific trait variation influences their pollination performance. We compared morphological traits, foraging behaviour and pollination‐related performance metrics between laboratory‐reared (hereafter lab‐reared) and wild populations of ...
