Multi‐Omics Analyses Elucidate the Venom Components of the Wasp Vespa mandarinia
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.The wasp Vespa mandarinia was widely reared in Yunnan province. The venom was responsible for their aggressive behavior. Tweety proteases, hyaluronidase, venom dipeptidyl peptidase 4, and phospholipase A1 and A2 isozyme were identified. In addition, organic heterocyclic compounds, organic acids, and derivatives were found.

Pollinator Dependency and Regional Climate Affect Crop Yield Development Under Climate Change
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.This study addresses the question if and how climate change, with rising temperatures and increasing risks of drought events, has affected the yield of entomophilous, that is, insect‐pollinator‐dependent, crops in the past decades. We found weaker yield increases with warming.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.We report a previously undescribed trophic interaction in which Macrogerodonia peruviana rove beetles prey exclusively on wounded or recently killed Trigona stingless bees generated during aggressive conflicts at carrion. Field observations and choice experiments showed that beetles selectively targeted injured Trigona while ignoring carrion and other ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.This study shows that alternative definitions of floral resource availability can alter the outcomes of pollinator preference null models, affecting both potential keystone plant identification and broader network interpretation. Using Heracleum sphondylium as a case study, we demonstrate that methodological choices in floral abundance quantification ...

Upland Afforestation Desiccates Downslope Wetlands on Sandy Soil
Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 4, June 2026.ABSTRACT Afforestation of formerly open, water‐limited habitats is a globally widespread form of land conversion, driven by the need for timber and non‐timber forest products, and capturing atmospheric carbon. However, increased tree cover can adversely affect hydrological cycles by increasing evapotranspiration and reducing downslope water yield ...

Exploring Floristic Diversity and Medicinal Plant Uses in Venda, Limpopo, South Africa
Feddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Plants have been an important source of medicine for thousands of years. To better understand the current diversity and usage of medicinal plants, floristic studies are essential. This report documents an expedition conducted in the Venda region of Limpopo, South Africa. The study was carried out in Shanzha and surrounding villages, as well as
