Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, Volume 64, Issue 4, Page 438-450, April 2026.Propolis from Scandinavia and Australia was chemically characterized using 1H NMR spectroscopy and multivariate modeling. Recursive partial least squares revealed spectral features associated with radical scavenging activity, and STOCSY enabled identification of the key phenolic compounds underlying these bioactive features. ABSTRACT Propolis from Apis

Bio‐Inspired Swarm Robotics Design for Mine Automation
Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.Ants demonstrate tandem running for cooperative haulage, and honeybees use memory‐based routes between hive and flowers. These behaviours inspire autonomous haulage robots in open‐pit mines to achieve efficient scan‐plan‐retrieve ore transport, replacing small haulage robots with large mining trucks.

Kinetics of Elastic Recoil in the Wings of the cicada, Dundubia rufivena
Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.We quantify elastic recoil in cicada wings using high‐speed videography, revealing faster bending than torsional recoil. Wing stiffness increases when attached to the thorax, demonstrating a body‐wing spring system and highlighting that elastic recoil must be understood through whole‐organism mechanics rather than isolated wing properties.

Differential effects of agricultural expansion on wild bee taxonomic and functional diversity
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 878-892, April 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pollinators, especially bees, are in global decline, threatening biodiversity and food security. While intensive agriculture is a primary driver, its impact on bee functional diversity—particularly in the diverse Mediterranean region—remains understudied.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.Collectively, these findings indicate that agri‐environment schemes aiming to support solitary bees should integrate the provision of nesting resources with proximity to floral resources. The heterogeneity among studies highlights the need for solitary bee conservation measures to be tailored to local conditions and to the local fauna.

Integration of epigenetics into ecotoxicology: insights and fundamental research needs
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 826-847, April 2026.ABSTRACT Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in genome function that occur without direct alterations to the DNA sequence. A multitude of environmental contaminants can influence the epigenetic marks of a genome. Changes of epigenetic marks including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non‐coding RNAs can induce alterations at the gene ...
