The Fate of Orally Ingested Microplastics During Cooperative Brood Care in Two Social Hymenoptera Species

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Microplastics (MP) pose a growing health risk to social Hymenoptera, with colony‐level risks depending on brood care strategies. During cooperative brood care, in the buff‐tailed bumblebee, MP is transferred from workers to larvae, but in the Japanese carpenter ant, the infrabuccal pocket prevents such transfer.

Macroecological relationships of ant diversity with increasing aridity in Australian tropical savannas: contrasting responses of epigaeic and hypogaeic assemblages

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Studies using climatic gradients play a key role in our understanding of the importance of rainfall and temperature as factors regulating species diversity and distribution, and thus of likely responses to climate change. However, such studies currently consider above‐ground species only, ignoring the diverse hypogaeic (subterranean) invertebrate fauna.

Farmers’ perception of termites in agriculture production and their indigenous utilization in Northwest Benin

open access: yesJournal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine, 2017
Background Although termites are considered as agricultural pests, they play an important role in maintaining the ecosystem. Therefore, it matters to investigate the farmers’ perception of the impacts of the termites on the agriculture and their ...

Bee community assembly is regulated by functional traits in pristine tropical forest environments

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2102-2113, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding the drivers of bee beta diversity across pristine environments in the Amazon is critical for ensuring biodiversity conservation, restoration, sustainable land use planning and economic development.

Evolution of eusociality in termites [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1979
A model is presented that demonstrates that asymmetries in relatedness such that individuals are more closely related to siblings than to offspring develop in diploid pedigrees under conditions of inbreeding. Given also certain incestuous conditions, the model predicts that eusocial-type helping behavior can be favored by natural selection. Three cases

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

Social organization and habitat use shape the gut microbiome of a marine fish

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 7, Page 1091-1107, July 2026.
This study provides the first evidence linking habitat use—and to a lesser extent social organization—to gut microbiome composition in a wild marine fish. The results indicate that local habitat conditions are the primary driver of microbial variation, while social effects are detectable but weak.
