Evolution of Peripheral Visual System in the Apoidea: A Role for Food Item Mobility?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Since larger compound eyes and ocelli altogether improve vision, one may expect that insects specialised in chasing very mobile resources possess such morphological optimisation. By analysing 77 species of bees and wasps, we have found that wasps had larger eyes, but not larger ocelli, than bees.

Plant species and floral traits shape arthropod communities in prairie plantings more than neonicotinoid contamination

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Agricultural practices are significant drivers of biodiversity loss, leading to reductions in ecological function and services across regions. To mitigate these effects, habitat restorations within agroecosystems have gained prominence as a strategy to enhance ecological stability and increase biodiversity.

Tailoring Thermophysical Properties and Multiscale Machine Learning Modeling of 2D Nanomaterial‐Infused Beeswax as a Green NePCM for Sustainable Thermal Management Systems

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study develops eco‐friendly two‐dimensional nanoparticle‐enhanced phase change materials (2D NePCMs) using biodegradable beeswax infused with rGO, GO, and MXene nanoparticles. Experimental results demonstrated up to 21.9% enhancement in thermal conductivity with minimal latent heat loss, while machine learning models achieved >95% predictive ...

Narrative Horizons: Deliberate Derangement in Oceanic Climate Fiction

open access: yesFuture Humanities, Volume 4, Issue 1, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Although we live in the Anthropocene—the geological age of humankind, wherein humans have measurably impacted the biosphere—we struggle to narrate the Anthropocene. In particular, we struggle to give narrative shape to its foremost feature: anthropogenic climate change.

Centring care as part of Indigenous environmental stewardship: Collective learning through cultural plants

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1349-1361, May 2026.
Abstract Stewardship is broadly defined as ‘universal responsibility of humanity to care for the planet, to ensure that it can continue to provide the essential natural resources for life’. Stewardship practices shape ecosystems, create diverse biocultural landscapes, and can enhance the productivity, availability and health of plants used by ...
