Dispersal mediates metapopulation response to local and regional stressors
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.A feature of recent insect declines is that widespread, formerly common species are among the worst affected. We designed a metapopulation simulation to ask how dispersal capability interacts with landscape and population stressors that act at different spatial scales.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Urban community gardens showed a high wild bee diversity with 168 recorded species, representing roughly 30% of Germany's wild bees, including threatened species like Osmia mitis and Coelioxys lanceolata. Floral resources, not nesting resources or habitat availability, were the main drivers for wild bee taxonomic and functional diversity.

Unequal pollinator benefits from partial mowing regimes in a field experiment
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Pollinators aggregate in unmown refuges in partially mown vegetation in the first days after mowing. Up to four weeks after mowing, this initial aggregation is followed by a subsequent decline in abundance not observed in unmown locations. This decline is paired with a species richness decrease, revealing that partial mowing filters pollinator ...

Linking genomic variation to floral trait adaptation across species boundaries
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Examples of floral trait divergences between sister species adapted to different pollination modes. Summary Flowers are highly diverse in shape, scent, and colour and may differ strikingly even among closely related species. Floral traits experience correlational selection favouring trait combinations that maximise plant reproduction, leading to ...

InsectsBumblebees (Bombus terrestris) have strong environmental adaptability and high pollen transfer efficiency, making them well-suited pollinators of economic crops. However, bumblebee pollination is still not widely applied in northern China due to the lack

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Native plant communities have declined in the southeastern United States over the past century because of habitat loss and fire suppression. While restoration of these communities often requires prescribed fire, the effects of fire on endemic insects remain unclear.

Seeing Through an Ant's Eyes: Do Entomopathogenic Fungi Extend Their Cognition to Their Hosts?
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Post‐cognitivist approaches recognize cognition as a phenomenon that involves not just brains but all the sensorimotor apparatus of organisms. This means that brains are not always required for the emergence of cognition and that every organism can, in principle, be cognitive, unlocking a theoretical framework to explain the complex adaptive ...

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 4, December 2026.In plants that offer pollen as their sole floral reward, this resource is finite and nonreplenishable, making such plants useful systems for studying how resource availability across flowers shapes pollinator behavior. Because tropical ecosystems of the Global South harbor exceptionally diverse plant–pollinator interactions, understanding pollinator ...

Where the wild rose blooms: A phenology of grounded writing
Anthropology and Humanism, Volume 51, Issue 2, December 2026.Abstract This flash tip reflects on a phenology of grounded writing, emerging through reciprocal attention and embodied observation across four seasons. Drawing on land‐based methodologies and creative ethnography, I offer reflections for scholars seeking to write otherwise through the practice of standing in solidarity with two feet in one place.

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 4, October–December 2026.The UK Pollinator Monitoring Scheme (PoMS) generates annual data on insect pollinators from a combination of structured surveys carried out primarily by citizen scientists, covering a wide range of habitats. Our study uses 6 years of PoMS data to produce new metrics of change in abundance and species richness of bees, hoverflies and other pollinator ...
