Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.Microplastics (MP) pose a growing health risk to social Hymenoptera, with colony‐level risks depending on brood care strategies. During cooperative brood care, in the buff‐tailed bumblebee, MP is transferred from workers to larvae, but in the Japanese carpenter ant, the infrabuccal pocket prevents such transfer.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.Understanding how pollinators compete for available floral resources (nectar, pollen, etc.) across time is poorly studied, especially in the western hemisphere. To address this knowledge gap, we measured nectar availability and subsequent depletion as a proxy for resource competition intensity among pollinators in an early successional old field ...

Using the Solitary Pollinator Osmia lignaria to Bridge Agricultural Practice and Ecological Theory
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.We synthesize key ecological and life‐history aspects of the solitary bee Osmia lignaria, including early developmental stages, nesting biology, and foraging strategies. We further relate these traits to pollination services across agricultural and natural ecosystems and identify the most important current stressors affecting this species.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.We tested whether acute, residue‐level exposure to a widely used insecticide alters antipredator behaviour in wild field crickets. Using a field‐based behavioural assay, we found no detectable effects on escape speed or re‐emergence latency over the days following exposure.

Trapped honey bees reduce floral visitation on milkweed flowers
Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Trapped arthropods have been shown to benefit plants in several ways, but few studies have examined the potential costs of arthropod entanglement. Milkweeds (Asclepias spp.) have an unusual pollination system that requires relatively large packets of pollen (pollinia) to become attached to the appendages of insect pollinators and be pulled ...

Beyond Average Hive Performance: Tail Risk Measurement in Italian Apiculture With Honey‐at‐Risk
Environmetrics, Volume 37, Issue 5, July 2026.ABSTRACT This paper provides a framework for measuring honey‐production risk that complements standard mean‐based analyses by explicitly targeting downside tail risk. Using hive‐weight data from a large sample of Italian hives over the period 2021–2024, downside tail risk is quantified through the Honey‐at‐Risk (HaR) metric, defined as the quantile of ...
