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

Propolis Supplementation and Metabolic Syndrome Components in Adults at Risk: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Propolis is a natural resinous substance produced by bees, recognized for its antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory properties. Previous clinical trials have reported inconsistent results regarding its effects on various components of metabolic syndrome (MetS).

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 ...

Body size and flight distance in stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Meliponini): inference of flight range and possible ecological implications Tamanho do corpo em Meliponini (Hymenoptera: Apidae): inferência do raio de vôo e possíveis implicações ecológicas

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2004
We examined the spatial implications of maximum flight distance for several species of stingless bees. Data suggested that maximum flight distance in Meliponini is a function of body size, especially generalized wing size, which can be estimated through ...

Chromosomal Diversity as a Predictor of Lineage Diversification in Ants Across Phylogenetic and Geographic Gradients

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.

Citizens Turning Into Scientists: A Calling to Boost the Knowledge of the Public to Address the Environmental Crisis in the Brazilian Semiarid 从公众到科学家:助力提升公众知识以应对巴西半干旱地区环境危机

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.

Local and landscape features of urban fragments determine the occurrence of stingless bees As características locais e paisagísticas dos fragmentos urbanos determinam a ocorrência de uma espécie de abelhas sem ferrão

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 1027-1036, November 2025.
Both local and landscape factors associated with habitat availability and quality determine the persistence of stingless bees across fragments. Places where the species occurs have local and landscape characteristics distinctive from those where it is absent.

The Life Histories of the "Uruçu Amarela" Males (Melipona flavolineata, Apidae, Meliponini)

Sociobiology, 2018
Here we describe the life histories of adult males of the the Amazonian stingless bee Melipona flavolineata Friese, commonly known as “uruçu amarela”. Males reach sexual maturity inside nests, presenting seminal vesicles full of sperm cells and becoming ...

24 million years of pollination interaction between European linden flowers and bumble bees

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 4, Page 2111-2127, November 2025.
Summary Pollination is the most common insect–plant mutualism, binding them in a co‐evolutionary framework. Historic evidence of this interaction can be partly inferred from time‐calibrated molecular phylogenies of plant and insect lineages or directly from fossils.
