No evidence of a decoy effect in bees: Rewardless flowers do not increase bumblebees' preference for neighbouring flowers

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 799-809, August 2026.
Many plants retain nectarless flowers; we tested whether these act as “decoys” for bees by making neighbouring rewarding flowers seem more valuable—a cognitive bias known as the decoy effect. The presence of decoy flowers did not shift bumblebee preferences between two equally rewarding inflorescences, and bees quickly learned to avoid these nectarless

Getting more than a fair share: nutrition of worker larvae related to social parasitism in the Cape honey bee Apis mellifera capensis

, 2002
Besides activation of ovaries and thelytokous reproduction of Cape workers, larval nutrition is an important aspect in parasitism of the African honey bee.

Membrane‐Associated Biomolecules for Synthetic Cell Signalling

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
Membrane‐associated proteins and nucleic acids are transforming synthetic cell communication, unlocking applications in biosensing, therapeutics, and tissue engineering. This review explores how these biomolecules enable complementary strategies for cell tethering, vesicle generation and fusion, signal transmission, and signal transduction.

Diversity of Pharmaceuticals Enhances Antibiotic Resistance in the Invertebrate Gut via Biofilm‐Mediated Mechanisms

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 37, 3 July 2026.
Pharmaceutical diversity acts as an independent driver of antibiotic resistance in soil invertebrates. While bulk soil remains unaffected, the collembolan gut microbiome exhibits significant resistance gene enrichment under complex chemical exposure and diurnal warming.

Behavioral Resistance in Varroa destructor: First Evidence in Response to Acaricide?

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 122, Issue 3, July 2026.
Varroa mites exhibited population‐dependent behavioral responses: two populationw avoided tau‐fluvalinate, and none showed specific behavioral responses to amitraz and oxalic acid, despite contrasting phenotypical resistance profiles. ABSTRACT The ectoparasite Varroa destructor (Mesostigmata: Varroidae) poses a major threat to honey bee colonies due to

Survival rate of honeybee (Apis mellifera) workers after exposure to sublethal concentrations of imidacloprid

, 2010
Imidacloprid is a commonly used systemic insecticide which can induce several sublethal effects. Previous research has not shown any increased mortality in bees that were fed with sublethal doses. However, there is very little research conducted with the

Molecular Identification and Prevalence of the Mite Carpoglyphus lactis (Acarina: Carpoglyphidae) in Apis mellifera in the Republic of Korea

Insects
Apis mellifera, especially weak ones, are highly vulnerable to Carpoglyphus lactis mites, which can rapidly infest and consume stored pollen, leading to weakened colonies and potential colony collapse.

Platform Business Model Innovation for Sustainability: A Framework for Industry 5.0 Integration

Business Strategy and the Environment, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 6461-6478, July 2026.
ABSTRACT A comprehensive framework is developed for adopting Platform Business Model Innovation (PBMI) to enhance sustainable performance in the Industry 5.0 (I5.0) era. While PBMI plays a growing role in corporate transformation, tensions persist between profit‐driven objectives and broader sustainability imperatives.

Tools for monitoring and managing sustainable improvement in honeybee populations

The Western honeybee is a species of economic importance globally, yet in recent decades it has been experiencing substantial colony losses that result in economic damage and possibly decreased genetic diversity.

Rainfall immediately before and after fire promotes long‐term occurrence of a rare, fire‐sensitive passerine

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 5, July 2026.
Abstract Attributes of fire regimes are known to drive habitat suitability for many species in fire‐prone environments. Comparatively little is known about how discrete abiotic conditions (e.g., rainfall events, cumulative rainfall, drought) at the time of fire may affect long‐term (>2 years) post‐fire occurrence. We sought to (a) establish whether the
