Nutritional composition of pollen stores in managed bees across European agro‐ecosystems reveals species‐specific differences but limited pesticide effects

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 853-865, October 2026.
In the pollen stores of three bee species deployed across 128 European sites, bumble bees harboured lower lipid content and higher protein‐to‐lipid ratios than honey bees and mason bees. Toxicity‐weighted pesticide risk did not alter protein‐to‐lipid ratios, but higher risk was associated with reduced protein and lipid content in the pollen stores of ...

Eusocial bee species are exposed to different toxic element profiles despite foraging within the same landscape

open access: yesEcological 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.

Leaders Are Somethin' Else: Behavioural Variation Associated With Roles During Tandem Running Recruitment

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 10, Page 719-731, October 2026.
In this study, we found moderate to strong repeatabilities in behavioural variables measuring the personality traits: activity, aggressiveness and exploration. Similarly, the probability of acting as a leader during tandem running in an emigration event was moderately (R = 0.469) repeatable.

Imidacloprid Alters Activity and Responses to a Visual Predator Stimulus in Aussie Bronze Jumping Spiders (Helpis minitabunda, Araneae, Salticidae)

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 10, Page 745-759, October 2026.
A field‐recommended concentration of a commercial imidacloprid formulation reduced open arena activity and slowed climbing in the jumping spider Helpis minitabunda. Exposed spiders still detected a looming predator stimulus, but their responses were reduced.
