Bee Diversity and Solanum didymum (Solanaceae) Flower–Visitor Network in an Atlantic Forest Fragment in Southern Brazil

Diversity, 2018
Brazil’s Atlantic Forest biome is currently undergoing forest loss due to repeated episodes of devastation. In this biome, bees perform the most frequent pollination system. Over the last decade, network analysis has been extensively applied to the study

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.

Nesting behaviour and foraging characteristics of Andrena cineraria (Hymenoptera: Andrenidae)

Saudi Journal of Biological Sciences, 2021
The current studies were carried out in the three experimental locations of Kashmir valley during 2013 to 2016. The species Andrena cineraria formed the dense nest aggregations in plan grounds, barren lands and hilly areas near the fruit orchards and other landscapes with clay loam soil type.

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.

From Cabinet to Catalogue: The Palaearctic bee (Hymenoptera, Apoidea, Anthophila) collection of the Museu Nacional de História Natural e da Ciência, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal
The Mediterranean Basin, characterised by temperate rainy winters and hot dry summers, represents a notable hotspot for bee species richness. However, research on the bee fauna across this region remains uneven, with significant knowledge gaps in ...

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.

Differential effects of agricultural expansion on wild bee taxonomic and functional diversity

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 878-892, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pollinators, especially bees, are in global decline, threatening biodiversity and food security. While intensive agriculture is a primary driver, its impact on bee functional diversity—particularly in the diverse Mediterranean region—remains understudied.

Landscape and local factors influence solitary bee nesting, but reported effects show little consistency across studies

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
Collectively, these findings indicate that agri‐environment schemes aiming to support solitary bees should integrate the provision of nesting resources with proximity to floral resources. The heterogeneity among studies highlights the need for solitary bee conservation measures to be tailored to local conditions and to the local fauna.
