Floral Color and Family Drive Contrasting Plant–Pollinator Responses to Nutrient Enrichment
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.Floral taxonomic family and color mediated how plant–pollinator reactions respond to nutrient enrichment. Nitrogen enrichment increased yellow and purple Asteraceae flowers and decreased pink, blue, and green flowers in Geraniaceae, Fabaceae, and Iridaceae. These shifts in floral colors and traits altered pollinator composition.

Periacineta mexicana n. sp. (Ciliophora, Suctoria, Discophryida), Epizoic on Mexican Backswimmers of the Genus Buenoa (Insecta, Hemiptera, Notonectidae) [PDF]
, 2010 A new species of suctorian in the genus Periacineta, epibiotic on aquatic bugs (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Nepomorpha), is described on the basis of morphological characteristics of the cell body, lorica, tentacular placement, and stalk, and its 18S rRNA ...

Examining Honeybee (Apis mellifera) Dominance Patterns Within Urban Bee Communities Worldwide
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.We examine if and to what degree honeybees are dominant in urban bee communities worldwide. We found honeybees to be the most abundant organisms and highly dominant in most of the studies, although the dominance degree was quite variable between studies. Our results provide new evidence to contribute to the debate on urban beekeeping and reconciliation

Wolbachiainfections in bees (Anthophila) and possible implications for DNA barcoding
Systematics and Biodiversity, 2011 The widespread intracellular bacterium Wolbachia is transmitted exclusively maternally and alters the reproduction of its hosts by different mechanisms. Thereby, inheritance patterns of mitochondrial genomes are modified, possibly confining interpretations of mitochondrial sequence data.

Heterospecific Hymenoptera found inside the nests of Bombus impatiens (Hymenoptera: Apidae). [PDF]
, 2018 The nests of social Hymenoptera are particularly attractive to species engaging in resource robbing due to their concentration of resources. Here, the identity of heterospecific intruders in Bombus impatiens nests are described, with a particular focus ...

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 8, August 2025.ABSTRACT Aim All bees depend on angiosperms for survival, while many angiosperms depend on bees for reproduction. However, bee and flowering plant species richness do not peak in the same geographical regions of the world, suggesting that the flora in regions where bees are not as diverse, such as the tropics, may be relatively less bee‐dependent.

Megachile sculpturalis, the Giant Resin Bee, overcomes the blossom structure of Sunn Hemp (Crotalaria juncea) that impedes pollination [PDF]
, 2016 Bee species that are effective pollinators of sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.: Fabaceae: Crotalarieae) are few in number because of the large size and papilionaceous structure of the plant’s blossom.

The Buzz of Inconsistency: Pollinator Potential vs. Research Effort
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 7, Page 1050-1058, August 2025.ABSTRACT Pollinator insects are essential for the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems and play a critical role in ensuring food security; thus, studies on this topic provide significant benefits for human society. Pollination involves diverse taxa that can vary depending on the specific environment.
