Role of forest edges and other seminatural linear landscape features in structuring wild bee habitat connectivity in intensively managed landscapes. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Pollinator conservation schemes typically focus on conserving existing, restoring degraded, or creating new wild bee habitats. Their effectiveness depends on dispersal corridors enabling habitat colonization by bees. However, the role of seminatural linear landscape structures (LLS) in connecting pollinator communities across intensively ...

Bee Body Size and Foraging Behavior Predict the Pollination Role of Bees in a Buzz-Pollinated Plant Community. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated how bee traits influence pollination success in a buzz‐pollinated plant community. Larger body size and floral sonication strongly predicted stigma contact, a proxy for pollination efficiency, while longer handling times were associated with reduced effectiveness.

Honey Bee Viromes From Varroa destructor-Resistant and Susceptible Colonies. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepOur study reveals seasonal variations in honey bee virome composition among colonies independent of their Varroa destructor susceptibility. We report the first detection of AmFV and LSV in Uruguay, obtaining complete or partial genomes of multiple viruses.

Analyzing the relative importance of habitat quantity and quality for boosting pollinator populations in agricultural landscapes. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract To increase pollinator populations, international policy targets minimum levels of seminatural habitat cover, but it is unknown whether improving the quality of existing habitats could bring similar benefits without the need of reducing cropland area. Using data we collected in 26 Italian agricultural landscapes during the entire flying season,
