The impacts of biological invasions

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

The abundance of pollen coat small signaling proteins shows limited convergence between independent selfing transitions in Arabidopsis and Capsella

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3460-3474, June 2026.
Summary In plants, a key example of convergence is the repeated evolution of floral traits associated with the transition from outcrossing to self‐fertilization, often resulting in the ‘selfing syndrome’ (e.g. reduced flower size and loss of scent). However, potentially overlooked changes concern the pollen coat, which plays a role in different aspects

The pollination ecology and mouthpart morphology of a pollen‐feeding fly Incurviseta cf. maculifrons (Diptera: Lauxaniidae) in the Australian Alpine

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 214-225, June 2026.
The Lauxaniid fly Incurviseta cf. maculifrons (Malloch, 1925) is a locally abundant but poorly understood flower visitor in the Australian Alpine. We describe the flower visitation, pollen transport, pollen diet and mouthpart morphology of I. cf. maculifrons using field observations, pollen analyses and scanning electron microscopy. I. cf.

Macronutrient composition in pollen affects development and survival in wild bees

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 350-362, June 2026.
Small carpenter bees (Ceratina calcarata) were reared on diets formulated with black poplar and dandelion pollen, while closely monitoring developmental metrics, lipid content and survival. Macronutrient analyses on both pollen types revealed dandelion pollen contained lower levels of protein, essential amino acids and several fatty acids, which ...
