Eco‐Evolutionary Dynamics of Generalist and Specialist Pollinators Facing Plant Diversity Changes

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We use a trait‐based eco‐evolutionary model to explore how changes in flowering plant composition affect interacting pollinators on short‐term ecological and long‐term evolutionary timescales. We find that evolutionary responses to landscape simplification, especially among generalist pollinators, may lead to a substantial loss of functional diversity ...

Complete mitochondrial genome of Bombus waltoni (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
The complete mitochondrial genome of Bombus (Mendacibombus) waltoni was sequenced. The circle genome of the bee is 19,349 bp in length. There are 38 sequence elements including 13 protein coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a control region ...

The effects of flower supplementation on pollinators and pollination along an urbanisation gradient

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 654-668, March 2026.
Enhancing urban greenspaces for pollinator communities by planting flower patches is increasingly common, but their efficacy for different groups of insects (bees, hoverflies and moths) is unclear. Our city‐scale experiment demonstrated that the effect of flower patches on pollinators is complex, and direct benefits to specific insects are difficult to

Community‐level effects of Müllerian mimicry on pollinator diversity and functioning

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 599-610, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Müllerian mimicry, a mutualistic interaction in which harmful species evolve similar warning signals, is often accompanied by niche divergence among mimetic species. While these aspects have traditionally been studied in an evolutionary context, their community‐level ...

Think globally, breed locally: Limited genetic impact of management in solitary bees (Osmia bicornis and Osmia cornuta)

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.
The data suggest that the release of locally reared Osmia spp. is unlikely to interfere with the genetic structure of wild conspecifics. This contrasts with bumblebees, where the use of non‐local colonies has led to genetic introgression with local conspecific populations.

Effectiveness of infrared sensor camera monitoring for detecting pollinator visits to Cremastra appendiculata var. variabilis in a temperate forest in Central Japan

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.
A 4‐year survey of Cremastra appendiculata var. variabilis pollinators was conducted using a commercially available sensor camera throughout the flowering period. Additionally, sensor cameras and interval photography were used simultaneously to compare the number of videos capturing bumblebees.

Locating nests of endangered bumble bees: Lessons from field trials in northern Germany

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 268-279, March 2026.
Tracking bumble bees to find their nests using coloured strips of paper stuck to their thorax proved to be the most suitable method, while radio transponders were too heavy. Tracking times of up to 2 h and distances of up to 800 m were achieved with strips of pink craft tissue paper.

Integrating the Microbiome Into Infection Ecology and Evolution in Wild Animals

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Parasites are a ubiquitous force in nature threatening wildlife populations and ecosystems. Interactions between hosts and their parasites are impacted by host‐associated microbiomes, which are essential for host development, physiology and immunity.

Updated peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance clodinafop (variant evaluated clodinafop‐propargyl)

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The conclusions of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) following the peer review of the initial risk assessments carried out by the competent authorities of the rapporteur Member State, Greece, and co‐rapporteur Member State, Germany, for the pesticide active substance clodinafop‐propargyl are reported. The context of the peer review was
