Gaining a genomic perspective on phylogeny requires the collection of data from many putatively independent loci collected across the genome. Among insects, an increasingly common approach to collecting this class of data involves transcriptome ...

Przestrzenne i czasowe zróżnicowanie Apoidea w lasach Wielkopolskiego Parku Narodowego [PDF]
Results of the investigations of spatial and temporal differentiations of Apoidea in the forests of Wielkopolski National Park were presented. It was shown that the both forest floor differ with the degree of species differentiation and domination’s ...

Contrasting effects of mass-flowering crops on bee pollination of hedge plants at different spatial and temporal scales [PDF]
Landscape-wide mass-flowering of oilseed rape (canola Brassica napus) can considerably affect wild bee communities and pollination success of wild plants.

AutoPollS: A tool for automated monitoring of pollinators using deep learning
Abstract Deep learning and computer vision hold enormous potential for automated monitoring of biodiversity, including pollinators and other insects. Efficient, scalable monitoring of insect pollinators is crucial given pollinators' role in supporting biodiversity and agricultural productivity amidst declining pollinator populations.

The bee fauna of an Atlantic coastal plain tidal marsh community in Southern New England, USA [PDF]
With growing evidence of changes in local abundance, geographical range, and species diversity of wild bees, it is imperative to document wild bee communities in representative habitats throughout North America.

Concentrated vulnerabilities in bees: Diet specialists have smaller geographic ranges
Niche breadth theory predicts a positive association between range size and diet breadth, which could concentrate risk among specialists, but this is not well established for bees. Using global occurrence data (range size) and natural history collection‐derived pollen data (diet breadth), we compared these traits in 633 species from six families and ...

An extraordinary northward range extension of the bee Andrena (Cnemidandrena) pachucensis Donovan, 1977 (Hymenoptera, Andrenidae) to New Mexico, USA [PDF]
Andrena Fabricius, 1775 is one of the most diverse bee genera worldwide, yet the biology and distribution of many species are poorly known. Here I present the first record of Andrena pachucensis Donovan, 1977 in the United States.

Historical and recent investigations on the bee fauna of Taiwan (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) [PDF]
The bee fauna of Taiwan was studied intensively in the first half of last century and was based in large parts on the extensive material collected by Hans Sauter between 1902 and 1914. Subsequent studies on bees of Taiwan have only been sporadic.

Patterns of size variation in bees at a continental scale: does Bergmann’s rule apply [PDF]
Body size latitudinal clines have been widley explained by the Bergmann’s rule in homeothermic vertebrates. However, there is no general consensus in poikilotherms organisms in particular in insects that represent the large majority of wildlife.
