First Measurements of Mixed Floral Traits Influencing Anacardium occidentale (Anacardeacae) Attractiveness to Bees in Côte d'Ivoire: Conservation and Agricultural Implications

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This paper will contribute to include/use the bees' floral preference (floral traits related to bee' visitations) to find and validate genetic markers that would enable breeding high‐yielding cashew plants and preserving pollinators. ABSTRACT In Sub‐Saharan Africa, cashew plants face challenges in suitable pollination and good agronomic performances ...

Automated Detection and Monitoring of Ground‐Nesting Bee Nests Using Drone Imagery and Deep Learning

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We demonstrate the feasibility of integrating drone‐based image acquisition with deep learning to accurately detect soil mounds produced by ground‐nesting bees, indicating nest presence, and reliably distinguish them from other soil surface deposits. This approach has the potential to gain new insights into bee nesting biology and population dynamics ...

Plant identity determines pollinator, natural enemy, herbivore, and decomposer abundances in flower plantings

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Flower plantings in agricultural landscapes can contribute to sustainable crop production by enhancing pollination and biological control services. However, selecting plant species that promote multiple ecosystem services is challenging, since plants that favor pollinators may not equally foster natural enemies, and potential trade‐offs, such ...

Linking remote sensing with crop modeling for yield and nitrate leaching predictions in Minnesota

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Upscaling crop yield and nitrate‐N leaching loss from experimental sites to large areas under alternative crop rotations is crucial for assessing strategies and setting goals to protect groundwater quality at a regional scale. Nitrogen (N) rate field trials were used to calibrate the Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) model for ...
