Computer Vision for Monitoring Wild Bees and Wasps: A Structured Literature Review

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This review surveys recent (2020–2026) computer vision research on automated monitoring of wild bees and wasps, covering tasks such as species detection, habitat observation, and behavior analysis. It analyzes datasets, public resources, hardware, and software development.

Nectar Robbery by Native and Invasive Bumblebees Reduces Floral Rewards but Not Seed Production in Desfontainia fulgens

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We evaluated nectar robbery by native and invasive bumblebees in the hummingbird‐pollinated shrub Desfontainia fulgens in southern Chile. Nectar robbery strongly reduced nectar standing crop and altered floral visitation patterns, but these proximate effects did not translate into reduced seed production under natural pollination conditions.

Light and Pollination Limitation Alter Patterns of Fitness and Phenotypic Selection in Sagittaria trifolia L.: Insights From Sequential Inflorescences

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We examined how light limitation and reduced pollinator access influence female fitness and phenotypic selection in Sagittaria trifolia across sequential inflorescences. Open‐grown plants produced the most inflorescences, flowers, and seeds, whereas mesh‐enclosed plants compensated for low early fruit set through later reproductive adjustment and ...

What does coexistence mean? Insight from place‐based trajectories of pastoralists and bears encounters in the Pyrenees

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2091-2103, July 2026.
Abstract The recovery of large carnivores in Europe raises issues related to sharing landscape with humans. Beyond technical solutions, it is widely recognized that social factors also contribute to shaping coexistence. In this context, scholars increasingly stress the need to adopt place‐based approaches by analysing how humans and wildlife interact ...

Digging into dirt: Rewilding with threatened mammals shapes soil‐emerging insect assemblages

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 7, Page 1207-1219, July 2026.
By comparing insect communities across treatments at two time points, we show that reintroduced digging mammals shape soil‐emerging insect assemblages. This provides empirical evidence that restoring ecosystem engineers may drive broader community‐level change in semi‐arid ecosystems. Abstract Digging mammals function as ecosystem engineers by altering

Improving Scientific Research: Renegotiated Principles of Science, Proposals, Failures, and Successes

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 56, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Science is a self‐correcting process, and scientific research aims to improve adequacy, accuracy, and utility. However, improving scientific research is a demanding task, especially when currently some key principles of science are challenged and renegotiated.

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.
