How do insects pollinate flowers? Behaviour during visitation determines high pollination efficiency by a generalist insect

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3213-3224, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecosystem services provide essential benefits to human survival and well‐being. Animal behaviour is central to the delivery of many ecosystem services, yet we know little about how behaviour drives services' provision.

Pollen landscape saturation on pollinator bodies reduces pollen deposition by subsequently visited bat‐pollinated flowers

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3190-3199, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Sexual selection in flowering plants often operates through male–male competition, yet the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain difficult to demonstrate. One potential arena for such competition is pollen placement on pollinators, where pollen grains from ...

Elamipretide Rejuvenates Oocyte Quality and Restores Female Fertility During Reproductive Aging

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 10, October 2026.
We reported a novel peptide therapy showing that elamipretide restores the quality of aged oocytes for fertility by coordinately boosting oocyte nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation via activation of the VEGF signaling pathway. ABSTRACT Aging represents a major contributor to the deterioration of female fertility, with oocyte quality being the central ...

Variability in Fecundity–Body Size Relationships for Atlantic Salmon Associated With Body Condition and Life History

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 1002-1017, October 2026.
ABSTRACT While body size is the primary driver of fecundity, other factors may contribute to variation in these relationships. Anadromous populations of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) have diverse life histories, and fisheries management relies on accurate fecundity estimates.

Divergent effects of hyperandrogenemia on the female reproductive neuroendocrine axis under different physiological conditions

open access: yesJournal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis coordinates reproductive function and incorporates gonadal sex steroid feedback to regulate gonadotropin secretion in a homeostatic manner. In females, ovarian estrogens and progestins act as the primary negative feedback signals to suppress luteinizing hormone (LH) release, whereas in males ...

Dodder seedlings benefit from apoplastic nutrition by inducing SWEET15‐mediated unloading of sucrose from the host's phloem

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 2, Page 829-842, October 2026.
Cuscuta reflexa infection sites. Summary Cuscuta species are holoparasitic plants that penetrate host stems with haustoria, connect to the vasculature and exhaust water, nutrients and carbohydrates. Parasite seedlings possess only limited maternal reserves and the development of a vascular connection takes several days.
