Incorporation of Natural Antimicrobial Agents Into Thermoplastic Polymers for Food Applications: Strategies, Efficacy, Challenges and Future Directions

Packaging Technology and Science, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 1253-1279, October 2026.
This graphical abstract summarizes the main strategies for incorporating natural antimicrobial agents into thermoplastic food packaging polymers, including melt processing, surface deposition, controlled release and chemical immobilization. It highlights the major classes of natural antimicrobials, key advantages such as microbial growth reduction and ...

Foraging energetics reveals late‐summer challenges for pollinators across two British cities

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3200-3212, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Foraging bees often work within fine energetic margins, but recent work has shown that foraging conditions can vary markedly across the year. Despite the importance of seasonality for pollinator foraging, most work in this area has relied on indirect approaches. However,

Grassland set‐asides provide nesting habitat for bumble bees in agroecosystems

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 10, October 2026.
Our study demonstrates that GLSAs can provide nesting habitat for bumble bees within intensively managed agroecosystems. To maximize their conservation value and to avoid creating ecological traps, land managers should consider incorporating GLSAs into farming landscapes for the full duration of the colony cycle (i.e.

Coinvasional disruptions to island pollinator networks

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Biological invasions can adversely affect pollinator diversity by threatening the maintenance of animal‐pollinated plant communities. Although most studies have examined single invasive species, accelerating species introductions driven by global trade highlight the need to understand how multiple co‐occurring invaders jointly influence ...

Nutritional composition of pollen stores in managed bees across European agro‐ecosystems reveals species‐specific differences but limited pesticide effects

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 853-865, October 2026.
In the pollen stores of three bee species deployed across 128 European sites, bumble bees harboured lower lipid content and higher protein‐to‐lipid ratios than honey bees and mason bees. Toxicity‐weighted pesticide risk did not alter protein‐to‐lipid ratios, but higher risk was associated with reduced protein and lipid content in the pollen stores of ...
