The Function of the Partially‐Opened Spathe of Pinellia pedatisecta (Araceae) as a Pitfall Pollinator Trap

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.
Pinellia pedatisecta has a simplified inflorescence structure, compared to its congeners with highly specialized trap pollination systems. However, our study suggests that P. pedatisecta also captures and releases pollinating insects by the spathe movement during flowering season.

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.

The Feeding Ecology of Invasive Pink Salmon Juveniles in Northern Norwegian Rivers and Their Role as Prey to Native Salmonids

open access: yesEcology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Increasing numbers of invasive Pacific pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) are spawning in northern Norwegian rivers, leading to large numbers of juveniles migrating to coastal waters. This raises concerns about food competition with native salmonids in rivers, although details about the timing and intensity of pink salmon feeding and the ...

Drying Halves Decomposition Rates in River Networks by Decreasing Decomposer Diversity

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
Short drying events can have long‐lasting impacts on the functioning of whole river networks. We found that just a few days without water reduced leaf decomposition by up to half, because drying reduced the diversity of communities of organisms that recycle organic matter. These effects continued for months after flow returned. Hydrological connections

Individual and combined effects of shading and habitat complexity on benthic macroinvertebrate communities in a mesocosm stream experiment (São Paulo, Brazil)

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 5, July 2026.
Abstract Introduction Agricultural activities are a major driver of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation in subtropical streams, often altering macroinvertebrate community structure and associated ecosystem functions. Although restoration strategies increasingly target these impacts, the relative importance of riparian shading and in‐stream ...

Update of the list of qualified presumption of safety (QPS) recommended microbiological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 24: Suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until March 2026

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a harmonised safety assessment approach to support EFSA Scientific Panels and Units. The QPS approach assesses the taxonomic identity, body of knowledge and safety of microorganisms intentionally added to the food and feed chain.
