Macronutrient composition in pollen affects development and survival in wild bees

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Resilience of floral scent emission after florivory

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Florivory is thought to affect floral traits, impacting pollination. However, our data suggest a stability in post‐florivory scent emission, which may guarantee the maintenance of pollinator visitation regardless of florivory, indicating a resilience of natural systems with multiple and simultaneous interactions. Created in BioRender. Tunes, P.

Preliminary Functional Group Patterns of Arthropods in a Maize Field and Adjacent Cultivated Refuge Strip in South Africa

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Agricultural intensification is a major driver of global arthropod declines. Habitat management strategies, such as cultivated refuge strips (CRS), can counteract these effects by enhancing biodiversity, promoting conservation biological control and improving agroecosystem resilience.

Host preferences of non‐native Acalolepta aesthetica (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) on the Island of Hawaiʻi

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 149-159, May 2026.
Acalolepta aesthetica is a non‐native cerambycid established on the Island of Hawaiʻi. We show its preferred hosts are woody species that are highly valued for agricultural, horticultural and cultural uses. We used a resource selection function to estimate host preferences and found that kukui (Aleurites moluccanus), the state tree, was preferred ...

Fit for purpose? Analysis of the relationship between skull, beak shape and feeding ecology in Psittaciformes

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 5, Page 873-887, May 2026.
Psittaciformes exhibit high levels of morphological diversity, particularly in skull and beak structure, previously linked to diet and body size. Although there were some levels of significance between diet and beak shape, body mass was a much stronger co‐variate. Diet is not determining beak shape within the clade.
