Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.This article showcases a unique natural history observation of honeybees collecting latex from the breadfruit tree (Artocarpus altilis), both nonnative species in Puerto Rico. This represents a unique interaction and here we explore how this behavior may come about in novel ecosystems.

Pond frog as a predator of hornet workers: High tolerance to venomous stings
Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.Abstract Some animals use stingers to repel attackers, and some predators have evolved tolerance to such stings, enabling them to consume venomous prey. For example, social wasps, such as hornets, use modified ovipositors as venomous stingers to inject venom, which can cause intense pain in humans.

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 546-554, December 2025.Desertification is increasing in the Brazilian Semiarid, leading to loss of species and ecosystem services, while precise data on biodiversity distribution and trends are lacking. Public engagement in scientific projects can improve ecosystem protection.

Pollination ecology in the tropical Andes: moving towards a cross‐scale approach
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2312-2345, December 2025.ABSTRACT Plant–pollinator interactions structure ecological communities and represent a key component of ecosystem functioning. Pollination networks are expected to be more diverse and specialised in the tropics, but pollination ecology in these regions has been understudied in comparison to other areas.

Insect floral visitors vary spatiotemporally and influence fruit production in mango orchards
Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 6, Page 1121-1136, December 2025.Native stingless bees (Tetragonula spp.) were the most abundant flower visitors in mango orchards, and their visitation sharply declined with distance from native vegetation. Hover flies and stingless bees showed complementary spatiotemporal visitation patterns, but hover flies could not fully offset pollination loss deeper in the orchard.

SociobiologyStingless bees are a crucial pollinator group for the functioning of tropical ecosystems. While most species nest in tree cavities, the importance of different tree species for nesting bees remains poorly understood.
