Putting Insects on the Agenda: An Analysis of Actors in Multiple Streams for Biodiversity Conservation Policy in Germany

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, Volume 36, Issue 1, Page 66-80, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The loss of biodiversity presents one of the most pressing societal challenges of our time. Insects play a crucial role for biodiversity in terms of ecosystem services and food provision. Although insects receive increasing public and academic attention, the development of policy mixes for insect conservation remains challenging.

The Vulnerability of New Zealand Forage Plants to Incursions by New Pests, Pathogens and Weeds, and the Case for Greater Protection

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.

Results‐based approach for biodiversity management at the farm scale: proposal for a new method

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.
We propose in this article to operationalize the concept of adaptive management by testing a results‐based approach to biodiversity management on a research farm located on the French Atlantic coast. We describe the project design consisting of the identification of several target species with their quantified objectives and the building of dashboards ...

Comparative lipidomic and proteomic analysis reveals species‐specific differences in midgut composition and insecticide absorption between Apis mellifera and Bombus terrestris

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1540-1551, February 2026.
Lipidomic and proteomic analysis revealed large‐scale differences in the midgut composition of the honeybee Apis mellifera and the buff‐tailed bumblebee Bombus terrestris. These differences correlated to increased insecticide absorption in the bumblebee when using an ex vivo Ussing chamber and subsequently in vivo feeding assay (created in Biorender ...

Advances in Bioinspired Interfacial Adhesion with Frictional Enhancement: From Fundamental Research to Biomimetic Applications

open access: yesSmall Structures, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Biological models in nature reveal remarkable friction‐adhesion mechanisms, driven by intermolecular forces and suction. Researchers leverage these principles to design advanced materials with enhanced adhesion properties. By optimizing these materials under stimuli like light and electricity, new solutions emerge for regulating interface interactions ...

Gradual pollen release in a buzz‐pollinated plant: Investigating pollen presentation theory under bee visitation

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 476-485, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The rate at which flowers dispense pollen across successive pollinator visits is a key functional trait influencing male reproductive success. Pollen presentation theory (PPT) predicts that when pollinators are abundant and actively groom their bodies to collect pollen,
