Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 957-967, August 2026.In the face of environmental contamination to copper, mainly resulting from frequent copper‐based fungicide applications, it is crucial to understand the side effects of these pesticides on non‐target organisms to improve pest management. Trichogramma cordubensis, used as a biological control agent against grape berry moths in vineyards, shows strongly

Tropical Bee Assemblage Diversity Decreases With Elevation While Body Size Increases
Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.Photos of bee specimens collected in the Colombian Andes across a nearly 3000 m elevational cline. They are arranged to illustrate both the decline in richness with elevation and the increase in community average body size with elevation. ABSTRACT Elevation gradients are powerful drivers of changes in species composition, richness, and functional ...

No evidence for missed mutualists in an invasive plant with the buzz pollination syndrome
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract The missed mutualist hypothesis predicts that the absence of mutualistic partners poses a barrier to introduced species becoming invasive. Yet, some alien plants thrive despite potential dependence on certain pollinators. For example, buzz‐pollinated plants typically have specialist floral morphologies and benefit from buzz pollinator behavior

Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 74-105, February 2026.ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Aim To investigate macroevolutionary and biogeographic patterns of chromosome number variation in ants (Formicidae), and to test whether chromosomal diversity is taxonomically structured, associated with species richness, varies with latitude, and accumulates over evolutionary time. Location Global.

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 546-554, December 2025.Desertification is increasing in the Brazilian Semiarid, leading to loss of species and ecosystem services, while precise data on biodiversity distribution and trends are lacking. Public engagement in scientific projects can improve ecosystem protection.
