Genomic and Mitonuclear Patterns of Divergence Among Recently Diverged White‐Crowned Sparrow Subspecies

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The study investigates genetic divergence among white‐crowned sparrow subspecies across North America, revealing three to four distinct genetic clusters based on genome‐wide SNP analysis, particularly highlighting divergence in the Z chromosome. Notably, Z. l. pugetensis consistently diverges from other populations, and a north–south split within Z. l.

Testing the Adaptive Significance of Personate Flowers in Penstemon (Plantaginaceae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Floral diversity across plant lineages reflects evolutionary shifts in mating strategy and pollinator specificity. The genus Penstemon contains a handful of species that display personate flowers—a peculiar bee‐pollinated floral type characterized by an upward bulge in the ventral portion of the corolla tube that obstructs the floral opening.

Bumblebee Foraging Dynamics and Pollination Outcomes for Cherry Tomato and Pear Varieties in Northern China

Insects
Bumblebees (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

Indirect effects of herbicide use on the Bombus community mediated through changes to shrub and forb communities

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Pesticides are used around the world to control and suppress undesirable species. In many cases the direct effects of pesticides are well understood and characterized, describing how environments are likely to be altered. However, these direct effects are likely to cause other species to respond to ecosystem alteration. For example, herbicides

Fine‐Scale Temporal Dynamics of the Honey Bee Hive Microbiome and Foraging Revealed by Airborne eDNA

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Airborne eDNA collected within honey bee hives reveals diverse plant and microbial communities. While richness remains stable, seasonal shifts in plant and microbiome composition highlight dynamic resource use, demonstrating eDNA's potential for non‐invasive, fine‐scale monitoring of foraging and colony health. ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) has the

Exploring perceptions of Italian urban wildlife on TikTok

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1470-1484, May 2026.
Abstract In Western cities, some animals are valued for their beauty, rarity or usefulness, while others are dismissed as unwelcome. This distinction reflects the cultural meanings attached to each species and frequently conflicts with ecological priorities.

No one‐size‐fits‐all: Trait‐dependent effects of local plant diversity on pollinators and pollination service in a densifying city

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Increasing local floral richness can support pollination success of specialised plants in dense urban landscapes. However, a floral enrichment strategy alone is less effective for generalist plants, which are typically more abundant in plant communities.
