Year‐round pollinator visitation of ornamental plants in Mediterranean urban parks

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 702-715, May 2026.
Pollinators visiting ornamental plants in urban parks remained diverse throughout the year. They were represented by wild bees (42%), honeybees (37%), flies (18%), butterflies (2%) and beetles (1%). Both native and non‐native plants attracted pollinators.

Different Paths, Similar Pressures: Divergent Drivers of Genetic Diversity Despite Convergent Genomic Signatures of Selection in Response to Urban Intensity in Two Oligolectic Bee Species

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 9, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Urbanisation is a pervasive form of anthropogenic environmental change and a driver of contemporary evolution. Yet, it remains unclear how demographic processes and environmentally associated genomic variation shape genomic patterns in cities and whether these responses depend on species‐specific ecological traits.

Supplementary note on the solitary bee fauna from the Suez Canal region of Egypt (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) [PDF]

, 2015
Previous surveys (2011–2013) of the bee fauna from the Suez Canal region, Egypt, recorded a total of 55 species.  Those surveys did not include important floral species among the Asteraceae, a family known to be associated with various oligolectic bees.

Corallorhiza striata is the first example of a pseudocopulatory orchid in North America and an instance of “double deception” in fully mycoheterotrophic plants

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Premise Orchids have many pollination strategies, from highly species‐specific mutualisms with insects to deceit pollination, including sexual deception. The family also has the most leafless, parasitic species (mycoheterotrophs) of any plant family.

The genome sequence of the Large Scabious Mining Bee, Andrena hattorfiana (Fabricius, 1775) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Wellcome Open Research, 2023
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Andrena hattorfiana (the Large Scabious Mining Bee; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Andrenidae). The genome sequence is 428.5 megabases in span.

Unveiling the Patterns of Wild Bee‐Plant Interactions on a Large and Mostly Unexplored Mediterranean Island (Sardinia, Italy)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
An extensive survey of wild bee and bee–plant networks in Sardinia (Italy) highlights high species richness and diversity, particularly in mainland agroecosystems. All interaction networks were highly specialized, modular, and not nested, indicating potential ecological vulnerability, though varying across sites and on a temporal scale.

Exploring nurse and nursing student experience of using an artist-produced photobook to learn about dementia

BMC Nursing, 2022
Background Improving understanding about dementia in nursing is a priority area for educators and policymakers. This is due to poor professional understanding about dementia and suboptimal healthcare practice.

Native bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) and berry polycultures: Studying farmers’ motivations for diversification and the impact of mass floral resources on pollinator communities [PDF]

, 2017
Floral resource continuity is an important component in pollinator conservation. Mass blooms early in the season may bolster pollinator communities on sequentially flowering crops by creating a resource pulse in an agricultural landscape.
