Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2448-2466, October 2026.ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4475-4514, October 2026.ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 7, October 2026.ABSTRACT Nectar robbing is a widespread but unevenly documented component of plant–pollinator interactions, and quantitative assessments from African savanna systems remain limited. Based on a short field survey conducted over two consecutive days, this study quantified the frequency and reproductive consequences of nectar robbing in a population of ...

Geographic Classification of Social Bees Using Automated Wing Pattern Analysis
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 10, Page 1250-1267, October 2026.We present an end‐to‐end deep learning framework for automated geographic classification of honey bee populations based on wing morphology. A dataset of 1040 wing images from seven regions was analyzed using four CNN architectures with transfer learning.

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 912-925, October 2026.Bombus terrestris and Apis mellifera colonies sharing the same landscape (<50 m from each other) collected pollen with significantly different heavy metal concentrations. B. terrestris‐collected pollen contained 2–7× higher concentrations of arsenic, chromium, cobalt, lead and tin than A. mellifera‐collected pollen.

The Great Dividing Range as a driver of genetic divergence in a low‐dispersing dragonfly
Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 1002-1016, October 2026.Population genomic analyses revealed low genetic differentiation and no discrete population structure across the Great Dividing Range, indicating widespread gene flow in Synthemis eustalacta. Genetic divergence was associated with environmental gradients, elevation and landscape resistance rather than geographic distance, supporting isolation by ...
