Best Practice Guidelines for Targeted Environmental DNA‐Based Proficiency Testing in Non‐Regulatory Contexts

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
Laboratory implementation of quality assurance measures is needed to facilitate the uptake of eDNA data for decision‐making. Proficiency testing (PT) is a powerful quality assurance measure that allows for the assessment of eDNA data quality and reproducibility. Here, we provide a PT framework using best practice guidelines for access to the analytical

Effects of lithium chloride on queen egg‐laying performance and worker honey bee behavior

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 965-971, January 2026.
Chronic oral lithium chloride (LiCl) exposure effectively increases Varroa mite mortality without impairing queen egg laying or brood care behaviors, while significantly reducing worker bee aggression, suggesting its potential for safe Varroa management and mitigating colony aggression.

Characterization of the Copy Number and Variants of Deformed Wing Virus (DWV) in the Pairs of Honey Bee Pupa and Infesting Varroa destructor or Tropilaelaps mercedesae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Recent honey bee colony losses, particularly during the winter, have been shown to be associated with the presence of both ectoparasitic mites and Deformed Wing Virus (DWV). Whilst the role of Varroa destructor mites as a viral vector is well established,
