Stingless bees in applied pollination: practice and perspectives
, 2006 At present, numbers of both wild and managed bee colonies are declining rapidly, causing global concern for pollination services. Stingless bees play an important ecological role as pollinators of many wild plant species and seem good candidates for ...

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1906-1920, June 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐driven landscape change, particularly urbanization, is reshaping pollinator communities, yet the functional traits that mediate species persistence remain poorly understood. Dietary specialization is commonly used to predict species vulnerability.

No evidence for missed mutualists in an invasive plant with the buzz pollination syndrome
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract The missed mutualist hypothesis predicts that the absence of mutualistic partners poses a barrier to introduced species becoming invasive. Yet, some alien plants thrive despite potential dependence on certain pollinators. For example, buzz‐pollinated plants typically have specialist floral morphologies and benefit from buzz pollinator behavior

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.Health impacts of honey. ABSTRACT Honey is a natural and nutritious product of the honey bee (Apis mellifera) with low water content. Its color ranges from white to amber, with taste varying accordingly. The chemical form and viscosity of honey depend on its composition.

Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, Volume 64, Issue 4, Page 438-450, April 2026.Propolis from Scandinavia and Australia was chemically characterized using 1H NMR spectroscopy and multivariate modeling. Recursive partial least squares revealed spectral features associated with radical scavenging activity, and STOCSY enabled identification of the key phenolic compounds underlying these bioactive features. ABSTRACT Propolis from Apis

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.The ability of plants to attract pollinators is context‐dependent, influenced by floral traits, abundance, and resources from the plant community. Indirect interactions through shared pollinators, from competition to facilitation, may lead to varied reproductive outputs in plants, and the mechanisms behind these interactions remain to be fully ...

, 2008 This thesis is a result of fieldwork on foraging ecology of Afrotropical stingless bees in Uganda. This is because most studies on stingless bee ecology are largely based in South America and South-east Asia and have ignored the aspects of Afrotropical ...
