Localised patterns of wild bee abundance indicate woodlands play multiple roles in supporting farmland populations

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 997-1012, November 2025.
Across 12 farmland sites, we deployed wild bee traps in deciduous woodland canopies and understories, and in an open habitat (at field margins) before and after canopy closure. Post‐canopy closure, understory activity (relative to field margins) generally decreased, but higher temperatures may have increased its likelihood.

Bee communities (Hymenoptera: Anthophila) of the "Cerrado" ecosystem in Sao Paulo State, Brazil [PDF]

, 2009
Five surveys of the bee communities in four "Cerrado" ecosystem reserves in Sao Paulo State were compared for species richness and similarity. These areas are fragment vegetation reser-reserves located in the Cerrado Corumbata Reserve (Corumbata), Jata ...

Associations between soil characteristics and ground‐nesting bees on farms Associations entre les caractéristiques du sol et les abeilles terricoles dans les exploitations agricoles

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 1037-1052, November 2025.
We collected ground‐nesting bees at 35 farms over two summers and assessed their abundance, diversity, and community composition in relation to local soil characteristics (texture, compaction, slope, and ground cover). Ground‐nesting bee abundance and species richness increased with bare ground and sand content.

Phylogenetic analysis of the mitochondrial genomes in bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Anthophila)

PLOS ONE, 2018
In this study, the first complete mitogenome of Andrenidae, namely Andrena camellia, is newly sequenced. It includes 13 protein-coding (PCG) genes, 22 transfer RNA (rRNA) genes, two ribosomal RNA (tRNA) genes, and a control region. Among PCGs, high conservation is observed in cytochrome oxidase genes with cox1 exhibits the highest conservation ...

Minimising insect mortality during grassland mowing: The potential of insect chasing devices

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 1086-1098, November 2025.
Insect chasing devices have a great potential to deter arthropods prior to mowing, thereby reducing mortality. The effectiveness of mechanical flushing bars is limited and depends on driving speed, vegetation structure and species composition. The blowing device is the most independent of external factors and therefore the most effective.
