Air pollution and its multifaceted effects on insect pollinators: A review
Air pollution disrupts plant‐pollinator interactions by impairing floral signal transmission, altering foraging behaviour, and reducing pollinator fitness, flight efficiency, reproduction and survival, posing serious threats to ecological stability.

Fluorescent colors in orchid bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) [PDF]
The presence of UV-fluorescent pigments is described for the first time in insects. The clear hairs on terga I, III and IV of Eulaema niveofasciata (Friese) are the only ones among several Euglossina species which fluoresce, supporting recent taxonomic studies which suggested that this endemic species of the Atlantic Forest domain and Eulaema ...

Cytogenetic characterization of Partamona cupira (Hymenoptera, Apidae) by fluorochromes [PDF]
Four colonies of the stingless bee Partamona cupira (Hymenoptera: Apidae) were cytogenetically analyzed using conventional staining and the fluorochromes CMA(3) e DAPI. The females have 2n = 34 chromosomes (2K = 32 M¯+2 A¯). Some females, however, presented an additional large B acrocentric chromosome, to a total of 2n = 35.

The mechanism of sex determination is common for all honeybee species (Apis spp.) by the complementary sex determi-nation (csd) gene. The csd gene has been studied in the Western honey bee (Apis mellifera L.), the Eastern honey bee (Apis cerana F.) and ...

The development of insect diversity and ecosystem complexity on green roofs: A review
A classification system of different roof types is presented to improve consistency in green roof research. Landscape and green roof characteristics influence ecosystem development, but can be further explained by ecological concepts, like neutral and niche theory.
