Two Flavones as Markers for the Distinction of Natural Acacia Honey Based on the UHPLC‐QE‐MS Method and Research on Their Potential Immunomodulatory Activity

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study systematically compared the quality characteristics and immunomodulatory activities of natural and commercial honey. A comprehensive strategy combining physicochemical determination, SPE‐UPLC‐Q‐Exactive Orbitrap MS‐based metabolomics, and machine learning‐assisted chemometrics was established to screen differential biomarkers. Hesperetin and

Lactic Acid Fermentation Improves the Bioaccessibility and Functional Quality of Reduced‐Calorie Sour Cherry Beverages During Cold Storage

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Fermentation of reduced‐calorie sour cherry beverages with specific lactic acid bacteria reduces caloric content by up to 46% while significantly improving in vitro phenolic bioaccessibility, antioxidant capacity, and probiotic viability during 28 days of cold storage.

Generalist‐pollinated Arabis alpina exhibits floral scent variation at multiple scales

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Plants that depend on animals for reproduction often use complex floral traits to attract pollinators. Floral scent is recognized as part of the pollinator attraction module and can be shaped by plant‐pollinator interactions. In recent decades, research has started to reveal the dynamic properties of floral scent, identifying patterns of spatial and ...

Quantitative synthesis of the effects of drought on community composition and species interactions in terrestrial ecosystems

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Droughts, increasingly frequent under human‐driven climate change, are expected to intensify globally. Both pulsed and prolonged droughts can strongly affect organismal survival and population dynamics, potentially altering terrestrial communities and ecosystems.

Colonization and spatiotemporal distribution of bruchid pests in lentil and faba bean fields

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 5780-5794, June 2026.
This study of 104 fields identifies Bruchus signaticornis in lentils and B. rufimanus in faba beans as the sole grain‐damaging species. Their uniform distribution within fields and the strong effect of regulatory factors on larvae and egg survival emphasize the need for species‐specific, phenology‐based and spatially informed integrated pest management

Floral nectar yeasts enhance parasitoid foraging and maintenance

Floral nectar is a sugar-rich, nutritional reward offered by many plant species to recruit flower-visiting insects for their ecological services such as pollination and plant protection.

Hairy, hairy quite contrary: Pollination and functional floral traits in a hirsute carrion‐scented stapeliad

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Floral mimicry of decaying substrates of animal origin, such as carrion or faeces, is associated with unusual traits such as geoflory, deep maroon or yellow colouration, floral hairs and unpleasant odour, but the functional significance of these traits for attracting and manipulating pollinators has seldom been examined.

Environmental influences on nectar secretion

, 2017
This study was undertaken to summarize and supplement existing knowledge of the factors which stimulate or retard the secretion of nectar. The work was carried out under the direction of the botany section of the Iowa Agricultural State Experiment ...

Hotspots on cold mountains: Hot flowers as pollinator refuges in mountain ecosystems

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1850-1861, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mountain environments constrain the activity of ectothermic insects. Yet, fine‐scale thermal refuges can buffer these thermal constraints, helping insects remain active in cold conditions.

Insights on the nutritional ecology of a nocturnal pollinating insect

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 1123-1141, June 2026.
Nutritional ecology examines the environmental effects on nutritional needs, food intake and foraging behaviors, and the use of nutrients ingested by animals. Among insects, Lepidoptera are often considered opportunistic foragers that visit a wide variety of available flowers, although with some preferences.
