Assessing predation pressure of Vespa velutina on local fauna through DNA metabarcoding
This study investigates the predation pressure exerted by the invasive yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina) on native insect populations in Mallorca, using DNA metabarcoding to analyze their diet. Results reveal a diverse prey spectrum, including key insect groups such as Apidae (bees), Calliphoridae (blowflies), and Vespidae (wasps), with no ...

Discriminations of Color and Pattern on Artificial Flowers by Male and Female Bumble Bees, \u3ci\u3eBombus Impatiens\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Apidae) [PDF]
This study examined the performance of male bumble bees (Bombus impatiens) in color and pattern discriminations and compared it to that of female bees. Bees were trained to forage from rewarding (S+) and unrewarding (S-) artificial flowers which differed

Abstract Social bees of the tribe Meliponini (stingless bees) are used as managed pollinators of crops throughout the world's tropical and subtropical regions. On Australia's East Coast, two native species—Tetragonula carbonaria and Tetragonula hockingsi—are the most widely propagated in hives, but knowledge of their biology and ecology in natural ...

Colony and individual life-history responses to temperature in a social insect pollinator [PDF]
Pollinating insects are of major ecological and commercial importance, yet they may be facing ecological disruption from a changing climate. Despite this threat, few studies have investigated the life-history responses of pollinators to experimentally ...

Ten Bee Species New to Green Roofs in the Chicago Area [PDF]
Green roofs increasingly provide habitat for many insects in urban environments. Pollinators such as bees may utilize foraging and nesting resources provided by green roofs but few studies have documented which species occur in these novel habitats. This

Gynandromorphy in Eulaema atleticana Nemésio (Apidae, Euglossini)
A gynandromorph specimen of Eulaema atleticana Nemésio, the first registered in Eulaema, is described. The E. atleticana gynandromorph was captured using an eucalyptol scent trap, in the Mata do Buraquinho Reserve, an Atlantic Forest fragment. The study site has 550 ha and is located in the urban area of the Municipality of João Pessoa, State of ...
