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 ...

Diversity and abundance of solitary and primitively eusocial bees in an urban centre: a case study from Northampton (England) [PDF]

, 2015
The apparent reduction of solitary and primitively eusocial bees populations has remained a huge concern over the past few decades and urbanisation is considered as one of the factors affecting bees at different scales depending on bee guild.

24 million years of pollination interaction between European linden flowers and bumble bees

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 4, Page 2111-2127, November 2025.
Summary Pollination is the most common insect–plant mutualism, binding them in a co‐evolutionary framework. Historic evidence of this interaction can be partly inferred from time‐calibrated molecular phylogenies of plant and insect lineages or directly from fossils.

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.

Evaluating the SPRING pollinator monitoring methods in Flanders (Belgium)

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
This study evaluated six methods for monitoring wild bees and hoverflies in Flanders, showing that pan traps were most effective for bees, while combining pan traps and transect walks best captured hoverfly diversity. Trap height, UV reflectance and seasonal variation strongly influenced sampling outcomes, highlighting the need for protocol refinement ...

Virus distributions in wild bees are associated with floral communities at local to landscape scales

Ecological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 7, October 2025.
Abstract Bees are focal pollinators, essential for maintaining biodiversity and crop production. Thus, reports of high annual honey bee colony losses and population declines among many wild bees in different parts of the world are of major concern. The spread of viruses is highlighted as a potential threat to bee communities.
