Generalist passerine birds perform a functional role as pollinators in temperate Europe

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.
Nectar‐feeding birds are effective pollinators. In temperate Europe, songbirds visit flowers but lack specialist traits, so functional pollination has been discounted. We use observations, pollen identification and experiments to demonstrate that generalist birds affect fruit‐set of flowering trees.

Forage Plant Host and Early Feeding Choices Affect Spodoptera litura Feeding, Development and Egg‐Laying

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 670-684, July 2026.
We assessed Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) performance on five common pasture plant species. Larvae consumed more dock, plantain and chicory per day than red or white clover, but with lower conversion efficiencies. Feeding on red clover reduced weights and egg laying, and lengthened development times compared with plantain.

Growth of a Threatened Desert Fish Becomes Resource Dependent When Released From Temperature Limitation in a Regulated River

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Growth of ectotherms typically positively correlates with increasing temperature towards an optimal temperature range, followed by a decline in growth when temperatures exceed the optimal temperature range for that organism. When temperature is within or close to the optimal range, food availability and other environmental factors can play ...

ANATOMY LESSONS: TRANS LIFE BETWEEN PORTRAITURE AND PERFORMANCE IN PAUL B. PRECIADO'S ORLANDO, MY POLITICAL BIOGRAPHY (2023)

German Life and Letters, Volume 79, Issue 3, Page 419-436, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This article considers how trans lives are mediated across literary, painterly and filmic registers in Paul B. Preciado's Orlando, My Political Biography (2023). My analysis draws on Andrew Webber's development of reading practices applied to intertextual works that also exhibit interpictorial and interfilmic dynamics in his reading of a scene

Collective Care and Rural Transitions: The Role of Empathy in Addressing Land Degradation

Sociologia Ruralis, Volume 66, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Land degradation in rural areas is often addressed through technical and economic measures, while the relational and emotional dimensions of governance remain underexplored. This study examines how empathy operates within participatory land governance, drawing on a participatory scenario planning (PSP) workshop conducted in the Târnava Mare ...
