Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction
Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.In this paper, we show that pronounced differences in pollinator communities exist between grasslands embedded in contrasting agricultural landscape contexts. Opportunistic foraging strategies of most pollinators resulted in large interaction turnover, but these shifts did not translate into major changes in overall network structure, most likely as a ...

Ecology and evolution of sterols in pollen and wild bees
Bees are reliant on flowers for their dietary intake of protein and fats. This includes sterols which act as essential membrane components and hormone precursors in insects.

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.Over the last 25 years, perceptions of the early prehistory of Northwest Africa have undergone radical changes due to new fieldwork projects and a corresponding growth in scientific interest in the region. Much of this work has been focused in Morocco, known for its extremely rich fossil and archaeological records in caves and rock shelters.

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.The Eastern Mediterranean lies directly on the principal migration route for human groups dispersing across Africa, Europe, and Asia. It also encompasses the Balkans, where fauna and flora, as well as hominin populations, are thought to have persisted through glacial periods.

The dual crisis: Climate change simultaneously drives pollinator decline and pest outbreaks
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Climate change acts as an asymmetric ecological filter, favouring r‐selected pest traits (rapid reproduction, generalism) while disadvantaging K‐selected pollinators. For every 1°C of warming, bee species richness declines ~25% since the 1990s, while pest‐induced crop losses increase by 10%–25%. A network‐centric approach integrating climate‐responsive

When is a Cliche not a Cliche? Reconsidering Mass-Produced Sunsets
, 2018 Sunsets are everywhere. Nightly they appear, vast and humbling, orange, pink and purple. Like snowflakes, it is said that every single one is different. Natural, ephemeral and beautiful, they constitute exactly the kind of subject that prompts people to ...

Allergy, EarlyView.In two large European cohorts, 589 reactions to non‐mandatory labelled plant‐based foods were identified with sunflower seed, pine nut, pea and lentil as the most frequent triggers. Reaction severity was not different between mandatory and non‐mandatory labelled allergenic foods. Their frequency and rising trends (e.g., fenugreek, pumpkin seed) support

Allergy, EarlyView.High‐dose birch‐extract nasal challenge induced synchronous peaks at 4 weeks in serum specific IgE (sIgE) and basophil sensitivity. Mast cell sensitivity via tSPT and sIgG1 and sIgG4 responses peaked later, at 6–8 weeks. Preseasonal allergen exposure attenuated seasonal sIgE increase and prevented further rise in tSPT sensitivity.
