A trait‐based framework to understand and predict the response of wild bee functional groups to anthropogenic landscapes

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 56-71, January 2026.
Wild bee functional groups consist of species that are grouped together based on their similarity in multiple nesting and foraging traits. These functional groups have their own specific association with suitable habitats and urban or agricultural landscapes.

Phylogenomics and biogeography of the cleptoparasitic bee genus Triepeolus Robertson (Hymenoptera: Apidae), with a revised subgeneric classification of Triepeolus and its sister genus, Epeolus Latreille Filogenómica y biogeografía del género de abejas cleptoparásitas Triepeolus Robertson (Hymenoptera: Apidae), con una clasificación subgenérica revisada para Triepeolus y su género hermano, Epeolus Latreille

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
A subgeneric classification is proposed for Triepeolus—the second‐largest genus of cleptoparasitic apid bees in the world—and its sister genus Epeolus, with support from a newly presented dated phylogeny. Phylogenomic analysis based on ultraconserved elements revealed strong support for the monophyly of Triepeolus, which diverged from Epeolus sometime ...

A new interpretation of the bee fossil Melitta willardi Cockerell (Hymenoptera, Melittidae) based on geometric morphometrics of the wing

ZooKeys, 2014
Although bees are one of the major lineages of pollinators and are today quite diverse, few well-preserved fossils are available from which to establish the tempo of their diversification/extinction since the Early Cretaceous.

Pollination biology and reproductive ecology of critically endangered endemic Campanula teucrioides in western Anatolia

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2025, Issue 12, December 2025.
Campanula teucrioides Boiss. is a critically endangered species found in a single locality in western Turkey. Determining the population size of C. teucrioides and conducting reproductive biology studies are of great importance in determining the necessary strategy for the conservation of the species. The area where the plant distributed was determined

Assessing wild bee fauna (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Anthophila) in Calabria (southern Italy)

The European Zoological Journal
The ecological importance of wild bees as pollinators has become more widely recognized in recent years. However, knowledge regarding their diversity and distribution in numerous regions of Italy remains deficient in comparison to other Mediterranean ...

Estimating the ecological drivers of insect abundance when detection is imperfect

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 12, Page 2641-2654, December 2025.
Using a field‐based mark–recapture approach, the authors demonstrate that habitat quality can simultaneously influence insect abundance and detection. Simulation also showed that prioritizing increased sampling intensity over adding more study sites can improve accuracy of standard modelling approaches including GLMs or GLMMs, which do not account for ...

Role of forest edges and other seminatural linear landscape features in structuring wild bee habitat connectivity in intensively managed landscapes

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract 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 ...

The Importance of Bees for Eggplant Cultivations (Hymenoptera: Apidae, Andrenidae, Halictidae)

Sociobiology, 2014
The increasing demand for food and the “Pollination crisis” have emphasized the importance of better understanding the potential of different wild bee species for pollinating crops. The aim of this study was to investigate how dependent Solanum melongena

KUM ARILARI (Hymenoptera, Apoidea, Andrenidae)

Uludağ Arıcılık Dergisi, 2017
Yaban arıları, çok sayıda yabani ve kültür bitkisinin tozlaşmasını sağlaması dolayısıyla ekolojik ve ekonomik öneme sahiptir. Bu nedenle bu canlılar için “temel taşı” türler terimi kullanılır. Andrena Fabricius, 1775 cinsi yaban arıları genel olarak kum arıları olarak bilinir.

Mixed effects of urbanization on pollination services among four native plant species

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 6, Page 1184-1195, December 2025.
We tested urbanization and fragmentation effects on pollination services using four native phytometer species that were deployed across 10 community gardens located in suburban and densely urbanized areas Landscape context generally did not influence pollination; however, for one of four phytometers (Lobelia siphilitica, pictured above) urban cover ...
