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 ...

Detection of Honey Adulteration Using Thermorheological and Spectroscopic Analyses: Independent Evaluation With Linear Latent‐Variable and Gradient Boosting Models

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Honey adulteration is a prevalent economic fraud that demands robust and reliable detection methods. In this study, a proof‐of‐concept was developed on a comparative study of oscillatory thermorheology (20°C–80°C) and spectroscopic techniques, including UV‐Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, for the detection of adulteration with glucose ...

Two Flavones as Markers for the Distinction of Natural Acacia Honey Based on the UHPLC‐QE‐MS Method and Research on Their Potential Immunomodulatory Activity

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study systematically compared the quality characteristics and immunomodulatory activities of natural and commercial honey. A comprehensive strategy combining physicochemical determination, SPE‐UPLC‐Q‐Exactive Orbitrap MS‐based metabolomics, and machine learning‐assisted chemometrics was established to screen differential biomarkers. Hesperetin and

Native Regiella Endosymbionts Provide Strong Parasitoid Protection With Limited Impacts on Fitness and Virus Transmission in Myzus persicae

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2026.
Native Regiella insecticola in Myzus persicae provides strong protection against parasitoid wasps but imposes only modest reproductive costs and does not affect virus transmission. Despite stable vertical and horizontal transmission, these effects alone do not explain the low natural prevalence of **Regiella** in field populations.

Phylogenetic Analyses of True Ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae: Coccinellini) Reveal Directionality in Diet Evolution and Support a Boreotropical Origin of the Tribe

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
A newly generated large‐scale molecular phylogeny of true ladybirds (Coccinellini) clarifies their evolutionary relationships and supports a boreotropical origin in the Paleocene, with multiple independent southward dispersals. Ancestral diet reconstructions suggest an initial specialization on aphids, followed by expansions in host range and ...
