New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 2140-2152, February 2026.Summary Ecological network approaches have advanced our understanding of how species interactions influence community and evolutionary dynamics. However, a key limitation is that most network analyses rely solely on visitation data, often overlooking functional aspects of interactions.

Bee products as alternatives in the treatment of viral infections
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 1, Page 33-54, 15 January 2026.Abstract Medicines used in the treatment of viral infections usually reduce symptoms. There is a need to develop drugs that inhibit the viruses and do not merely relieve the symptoms. Natural bee products possess many pharmacological properties and are widely used in folk medicine. There are many studies on the antibacterial effects of bee products but

Pollination ecology in the tropical Andes: moving towards a cross‐scale approach
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2312-2345, December 2025.ABSTRACT Plant–pollinator interactions structure ecological communities and represent a key component of ecosystem functioning. Pollination networks are expected to be more diverse and specialised in the tropics, but pollination ecology in these regions has been understudied in comparison to other areas.
