AutoPollS: A tool for automated monitoring of pollinators using deep learning

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1743-1753, June 2026.
Abstract Deep learning and computer vision hold enormous potential for automated monitoring of biodiversity, including pollinators and other insects. Efficient, scalable monitoring of insect pollinators is crucial given pollinators' role in supporting biodiversity and agricultural productivity amidst declining pollinator populations.

A Novel Vertebrate Prey Item of the Bicycle Dragon (Ctenophorus cristatus), with a Systematic Review of Ctenophorus Dragon (Lacertilia: Agamidae) Diets

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
A bicycle dragon (Ctenophorus cristatus) consumes a Jan's banded snake (Simoselaps bertholdi) near the Gawler Ranges National Park in South Australia. This observation is unusual because vertebrate prey make up a vanishingly small portion of the Ctenophorus dragon diet.

Modelling a Suitable Habitat for Nigeria–Cameroon Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes ellioti, Matschie, 1914) in Mpem and Djim National Park, Central Cameroon

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Tropical forest mammalian communities, particularly those in ecological transition zones, are under constant threat from human activity. In many regions, there is a lack of baseline data on suitable habitats and the environmental factors influencing their suitability.

Leaf processing behaviour in Atta leafcutter ants: 90% of leaf cutting takes place inside the nest, and ants select pieces that require less cutting

Leafcutter ants cut trimmings from plants, carry them to their underground nests and cut them into smaller pieces before inoculating them with a fungus that serves as a primary food source for the colony. Cutting is energetically costly, so the amount of

Osteology and arthrology of the ankle and tarsometatarsus of anoles (Iguania: Anolidae): not convergent with geckos but divergent from the ancestral iguanian condition

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 6, Page 1002-1025, June 2026.
Geckos and anoline iguanid lizards are well‐known for their possession of adhesive toepads, which are generally regarded as being convergent structures. We show that the anatomical configuration of the foot in these two lineages differs markedly and that these differences likely relate to the contrasing ways they deploy their adhesive systems and ...

Investigation of the global transportation of Culicoides biting midges, vectors of livestock and equid arboviruses, from flower‐packing plants in Kenya

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 260-267, June 2026.
Arboviral diseases spread by Culicoides biting midges have been introduced into Europe by unknown means. A possible route is the carriage of midges with cut flowers shipped to flower markets. We sampled Culicoides in and around a cut flower farm in Kenya; midges were caught in the vicinity and a greenhouse, but not where flowers are processed.
