Animal medical systems from Apis to apes: history, recent advances and future perspectives
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2608-2624, December 2025.ABSTRACTAnimal medical systems encompass a wide range of behaviours aimed at maintaining or improving health. It has become clear that these behaviours are not limited to animals treating themselves (self‐medication) but also include the treatment of group members, resulting in the adoption of the more inclusive term “animal medication”. Behaviour with

The State of Beekeeping in India: Insights, Gaps, and Emerging Opportunities
Entomological Research, Volume 55, Issue 10, October 2025.ABSTRACT India's beekeeping industry primarily revolves around two domesticated honey bee species, Apis cerana and A. mellifera, which are central to commercial beekeeping. In addition, there are four wild honey bee species—A. dorsata, A. laboriosa (sympatric with A. dorsata), A. florea, and A. andreniformis (sympatric with A.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.Pollination ecology has garnered increasing attention due to its fundamental role in biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services. However, a lack of understanding regarding evolving trends and research shifts poses challenges for addressing emerging ecological questions. Our analysis encompasses the contributions of 223 prominent scientists in the
