Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1836-1849, June 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In brood‐site pollination mutualisms, where flowers provide nutrition and shelter to pollinator offspring in exchange for pollination, resource allocation to inflorescences is directly related to plant and pollinator fitness.

The cost of parental care: prey hunting in a digger wasp [PDF]
Behavioral Ecology, 2002 Trivers's concept of parental investment is an integral part of modern evolutionary biology. "Parental investment" is defined as any parental expenditure that benefits a current progeny at the expense of a parent's ability to reproduce in the future. Because future costs are hard to quantify, other currencies were used that were thought to be related ...

Substrate Preference of Black Soldier Fly Larvae Is Influenced by Rearing History
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 6, Page 477-494, June 2026.BSF larvae were reared under six different conditions: low, medium, or high larval density and on low, medium, and high‐water feeds to investigate feed choice behaviour. Larvae reared under all six conditions preferred substrate colonised by conspecifics. Low‐water feed caused slower larval growth and development.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.We translocated the native cavity‐nesting bee Exoneura robusta into an urban greenspace using artificial nests to test short‐term establishment success. Five of eleven nests persisted through a full annual cycle, demonstrating that urban environments can support early colony establishment.

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Invasive wildflowers pose a conservation paradox: While they often reduce the diversity and abundance of native wildflowers, they can provide resources for native pollinators, including imperiled species. Previous work has framed wildflower invasions as outcomes of global change, but less is known about how interacting anthropogenic drivers ...

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract For hundreds of years, humans have drained water from landscapes, especially peatlands, to improve agriculture and forestry. Widespread, intensive ditching alters ecosystem processes and vegetation communities in ways that may last decades after ditch abandonment and that could be irreversible or require extensive intervention to reverse ...
