Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT The Tianshan Mountains, which host two native subspecies of western honeybees, represent the easternmost natural distribution limit of Apis mellifera. The managed Xinjiang black honeybee (XJ), introduced a century ago and designated as a Chinese National Animal Genetic Resource, has expanded rapidly under anthropogenic management.

Delayed urticaria during treatment with anti‐CGRP monoclonal antibodies in migraine
Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, Volume 66, Issue 5, Page 1193-1199, May 2026.Abstract Objective To characterize clinical presentation and management of urticaria associated with calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) ‐targeting monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for migraine prophylaxis. Background CGRP‐targeting mAbs are effective in migraine prophylaxis, but have been associated with hypersensitivity reactions, including urticaria.

Bee community and trait‐based responses to fire in a Mediterranean landscape
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 530-547, May 2026.Fire drives a short‐term increase in bee abundance and diversity, despite its strong negative impact on floral resources. Acting as an environmental filter, fire shapes bee communities as increased post‐fire fine‐scale heterogeneity favors bees with specific functional traits such as ground‐nesting and generalist species.

Estimating wild bee population size with validated distance sampling
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 469-483, May 2026.Distance Sampling is a promising method to estimate population size but has never been validated on insects. We validated it on a honey bee population of known size. We applied Distance Sampling to three insular pollinators and found that estimates are consistent across days, match species phenology and reflect the expected influence of weather ...

Year‐round pollinator visitation of ornamental plants in Mediterranean urban parks
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 702-715, May 2026.Pollinators visiting ornamental plants in urban parks remained diverse throughout the year. They were represented by wild bees (42%), honeybees (37%), flies (18%), butterflies (2%) and beetles (1%). Both native and non‐native plants attracted pollinators.
