24 million years of pollination interaction between European linden flowers and bumble bees

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 4, Page 2111-2127, November 2025.
Summary Pollination is the most common insect–plant mutualism, binding them in a co‐evolutionary framework. Historic evidence of this interaction can be partly inferred from time‐calibrated molecular phylogenies of plant and insect lineages or directly from fossils.

Mitogenome-wise codon usage pattern from comparative analysis of the first mitogenome of Blepharipa sp. (Muga uzifly) with other Oestroid flies

Scientific Reports, 2022
Uziflies (Family: Tachinidae) are dipteran endoparasites of sericigenous insects which cause major economic loss in the silk industry globally. Here, we are presenting the first full mitogenome of Blepharipa sp. (Acc: KY644698, 15,080 bp, A + T = 78.41%),

Multimodal floral cues resembling both generalized food sources and oviposition sites in Isotrema manshuriense (Aristolochiaceae) pollinated by flies

Plant Biology, Volume 27, Issue 6, Page 1058-1070, October 2025.
The protogynous flowers of Isotrema manshuriense exhibit multimodal cues, resembling both generalized food sources and fly oviposition sites, with these cues varying across sexual phases. Abstract The genus Aristolochia is renowned for its kettle‐like trap flowers that temporarily retain visiting insects, primarily using trapping trichomes.

Seed Production and Pollinator Dependence in Native Wildflowers: Guiding Species Selection for Conservation Plantings

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
We investigated the pollination biology of eight native wildflower species in the southeastern U.S. to assess their dependence on insect pollinators and potential for self‐pollination. Most species showed significantly higher seed production and weight when open‐pollinated, indicating strong pollinator dependence, though some could reproduce without ...

Isolating the effects of floral temperature on visitation and behaviour of wild bee and fly pollinators

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 9, Page 2496-2508, September 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Flower temperature impacts pollinator choice in laboratory settings and the foraging behaviour of bees in natural populations. However, the direct effects of floral temperature on animal pollination in field conditions are difficult to isolate from other pollinator ...

Are Findings of Key Insect Metrics Generalizable Across Different Taxa in Malaise Trap Samples?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
Malaise traps are increasingly used for global insect monitoring. However, it remains unclear whether patterns in total insect biomass from these traps reflect only changes in dominant taxa, or whether they reflect changes in other key community metrics and taxonomic groups.
