Mapping wild bee diversity and flower use for an effective conservation of the Doñana biodiversity hotspot

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We compiled the first checklist of wild bees in Doñana Protected Area, documenting 385 species, including three vulnerable and one endangered species listed in the Red List. Bee species exhibit diverse floral preferences, highlighting the need to incorporate plant–pollinator interactions and the role of plants in conservation and management strategies ...

Choreutidae of Madeira: review of the known species and description of the male of Anthophila threnodes (Walsingham, 1910) (Lepidoptera)

Nota Lepidopterologica, 2014
We review and illustrate the four species of Choreutidae recorded from Madeira – Anthophila threnodes (Walsingham), A. fabriciana (Linnaeus), Choreutis nemorana (Hübner), and Tebenna micalis (Mann) – and describe and illustrate for the first time the ...

Food resources are more important than nesting resources for explaining wild bee diversity in urban gardens Nahrungsressourcen haben einen größeren Einfluss auf die Wildbienendiversität in urbanen Gärten als das Nistangebot

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Urban community gardens showed a high wild bee diversity with 168 recorded species, representing roughly 30% of Germany's wild bees, including threatened species like Osmia mitis and Coelioxys lanceolata. Floral resources, not nesting resources or habitat availability, were the main drivers for wild bee taxonomic and functional diversity.

Roadside pollinator populations and the negative impact of intensive roadside vegetation maintenance

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Less intensively managed roadsides had higher numbers of flower flies and bees; bee diversity was also higher in those roadsides. Community composition was similar across both management types, indicating that roadsides support a fairly homogeneous pollinator community, regardless of management.

Structural Colour in Bees (Hymenoptera: Anthophila) Is Linked to Climate and Latitude

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Environmental drivers frequently predict global patterns of colour diversity, but whether such patterns depend on the underlying colour mechanisms—pigments or microscopic structures—has scarcely been considered. Structural colour may have different functional properties that result in different associations with environmental variables ...

Native Pollinators (Hymenoptera: Anthophila) in Cotton Grown in the Gulf South, United States

Agronomy, 2020
Native bees (Hymenoptera: Anthophila) were sampled using bee bowls in two states to determine biodiversity in commercial cotton fields of the southern United States.

Concentrated vulnerabilities in bees: Diet specialists have smaller geographic ranges

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 5, Page 1114-1123, September 2026.
Niche breadth theory predicts a positive association between range size and diet breadth, which could concentrate risk among specialists, but this is not well established for bees. Using global occurrence data (range size) and natural history collection‐derived pollen data (diet breadth), we compared these traits in 633 species from six families and ...

Against the odds: Nesting specialization and foraging ecology provide insights into climate change responses in a mountain bee

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 5, Page 1087-1098, September 2026.
A unique high‐elevation Exoneura bee defies typical elevation‐driven declines in bee activity, nesting exclusively in dead branches of snow gums near the alpine tree line. Nesting and foraging are tightly linked to snow gum presence, with most activity occurring within 30 m of these trees. Biophysical modelling indicates the bee's thermally constrained

The Missing Branches of the Bee Tree of Life: Addressing Global Darwinian Shortfalls and Their Drivers

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Estimate the Darwinian shortfall (i.e., the lack of knowledge about phylogenetic relationships) of bees worldwide, as well as identify their drivers. Location Global. Taxon Bees (Hymenoptera, Anthophila). Methods We built phylogenies for over 12,000 bee species, combining the most comprehensive phylogeny and an algorithm with random ...
