Insecticides alter wild and managed pollination dynamics on oil crop yield

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Our results show that combining honey bee hives with insecticide use does not automatically enhance crop yield. Pollination outcomes are strongly scale‐ and context‐dependent, with wild pollinators providing disproportionately important services. Agricultural management should therefore prioritize integrated strategies that reduce pesticide pressure ...

Principles of Food Safety and Toxicological Risk Assessment: Refining Hazards, Risk Management Communication, and Common Misconceptions

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Toxicology has evolved into a robust scientific discipline since the 16th century when Paracelsus, the “Father of Toxicology,” established the basic yet fundamental principle that “the dose makes the poison.” Toxicology is often first associated with the chemical and pharmaceutical industries; however, it plays an equally relevant role in ...

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 ...

Strategic conservation prioritization through creating and updating the regional species of greatest conservation need list in the northeastern United States

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
Biodiversity is declining globally, underscoring the need for conservation strategies informed by regional expertise. In the northeastern United States, 14 state wildlife agencies and taxonomic experts developed the Regional Species of Greatest Conservation Need (RSGCN) list, revealing that global and national datasets captured only ~55% of regionally ...
