Air pollution and its multifaceted effects on insect pollinators: A review

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 1-17, February 2026.
Air pollution disrupts plant‐pollinator interactions by impairing floral signal transmission, altering foraging behaviour, and reducing pollinator fitness, flight efficiency, reproduction and survival, posing serious threats to ecological stability.

Transcriptomic, proteomic and biochemical comparison of luminescent and non‐luminescent Keroplatinae larvae (Diptera: Keroplatidae)

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 34-47, February 2026.
Transcriptomic and proteomic comparison of luminescent O. fultoni and non‐luminescent Neoditomyia sp show that the substrate binding fraction (SBF) has a similar abundance of hexamerins and the presence of flavin‐dependent reductases. In addition to the high content of keroplatin, SBF also contains considerable amounts of riboflavin and displays ...

Accelerating Pinned Insect Specimen Digitization: A Deep Learning Pipeline for Future Collaborative Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.
The study presents a prototype novel workflow that utilizes artificial intelligence for the digitization of natural history collections, which would fit within a robotic‐integrated system. The work focuses on a collaborative‐robot (cobot) inspired workflow to digitize one of the largest collections housed at the Natural History Museum UK: pinned ...

Heat drastically alters floral color and pigment composition without affecting flower conspicuousness

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Premise Floral pigments primarily serve to attract pollinators through color display and also contribute to protection against environmental stress. Although pigment composition can be plastically altered under stress, its impact on pollinator color perception remains poorly understood.

Pollinator, herbivore, and climatic selective pressures differ across a floral color transition zone

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Premise Spatial and temporal variations in climate and ecological interactions may underlie the origin and maintenance of floral color polymorphisms across a species range. Betalains are nitrogen‐containing, phylogenetically restricted pigments that, like the widespread and well‐studied anthocyanins and carotenoids, may attract pollinators ...
