Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.This study confirms the presence of the tick Hyalomma marginatum Koch, 1844, a known vector of the Crimean‐Congo hemorrhagic fever virus at Galicia. Most ticks were encountered on humans and livestock, with numbers rising between 2019 and 2024, especially during spring and in warm‐summer Mediterranean southwest areas of the studied region.

Lectotypifications and taxonomic changes in the holoparasitic Orobanchaceae
Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.Based on further extensive studies of specimens in various herbaria, lectotypes are designated for many taxa of holoparasitic Orobanchaceae. In particular, 47 names in the genera Boschniakia (incl. Xylanche), Cistanche, Orobanche, Phelipanche and Phelypaea are lectotypified.

A global review of mistletoe frugivory and seed dispersal: The plant perspective
Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1303-1314, August 2026.We reviewed studies on mistletoe frugivory and seed dispersal worldwide. Although mistletoes are relatively well studied, major taxonomic, geographic, and methodological gaps remain. We conclude that modern technologies offer new opportunities to address long‐standing but still poorly explored questions about these interactions.

The Red Queen unveils the sexual and mating strategies of flowers
Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.Although the conventional wisdom is that floral traits of plants evolved in concert with their mutualistic pollinators, here we showed that several key sexual and mating traits of plants, which modulate their outcrossing strategy, evolved in response to the pressure exerted by their antagonistic insect herbivores.

European mistletoe shares a similar demographic strategy with non‐parasitic plants
Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.European mistletoe (Viscum album) does not have a distinct demographic strategy from non‐parasitic plants, as quantified by time‐based life history traits. We found that mistletoe vital rates were driven by mistletoe size and position in the host tree.

Cowbirds use conspecific social information to detect host nests in the wild
Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 2, Page 799-804, April 2026.Recent work shows that hosts of avian brood parasites use social information to increase egg rejection rates, but fewer studies explore how parasites themselves use such information to detect host nests in the wild. To determine whether wild Brown‐headed Cowbirds Molothrus ater use social information to detect host nests, we measured how individual ...

When honeybees come to town: Critical aspects of urban beekeeping and opportunities for regulation
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 528-540, March 2026.Abstract Urban areas are increasingly valued for their role in conserving wild pollinators. Honeybees are often regarded as ambassador species for pollinator conservation, and beekeeping is frequently perceived as a pro‐biodiversity activity, which has become highly popular in urban areas.
