The Role of Landscapes and Landmarks in Bee Navigation: A Review. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The ability of animals to explore landmarks in their environment is essential to their fitness. Landmarks are widely recognized to play a key role in navigation by providing information in multiple sensory modalities. However, what is a landmark?

Do sun orchids mimic buzz‐pollinated plants? An experimental test of the adaptive significance of false anthers

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 2876-2888, October 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mimicry implies that an organism gains fitness by resembling a model species, and one example is rewardless plants that attract pollinators by resembling co‐flowering species that provide rewards.

Forager bees (Apis mellifera) highly express immune and detoxification genes in tissues associated with nectar processing. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Pollinators, including honey bees, routinely encounter potentially harmful microorganisms and phytochemicals during foraging. However, the mechanisms by which honey bees manage these potential threats are poorly understood.

The melectine bee genera Brachymelecta and Sinomelecta (Hymenoptera, Apidae)

open access: yesZooKeys, 2012
The enigmatic, cleptoparasitic bee genera Brachymelecta Linsley and Sinomelecta Baker (Apinae: Melectini) are redescribed, each represented by a single species which has not been reencountered since capture of the type series ca. 1878 and 1900, respectively.

Stress in dipteran insects mass‐reared for sterile insect technique applications

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1495-1523, October 2025.
The connections between biotic and abiotic stress affecting mass‐reared dipteran insects and the associated stress and immunological responses. Numbers indicate the order in which the topics are discussed in this review. Abstract Stress may be viewed as the disturbance of homeostasis of an organism.

Combining Distribution Models of Plants and Their Mutualists to Map Gaps in the Knowledge of Ecological Interactions

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim The distribution of species relying on mutualistic partners for reproduction can be constrained by their partners' distribution. Nonetheless, biotic interactions are often overlooked when estimating the distributions of species (e.g., pollinators of a given plant and the proportion of them with their distribution modelled). In the Tropics,

Are honey bees altering wild plant–bee interactions in reconstructed native habitats? An investigation of summer season effects in row‐crop agroecosystems with prairie strips

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 807-823, October 2025.
We investigated the compatibility of beekeeping with pollinator conservation in ‘prairie strips’ a conservation practice integrating native prairie habitat into agricultural environments. At prairie strip sites with and without a honey bee apiary, we analysed plant–bee interactions and bumble bee body conditions to determine the effect of apiaries on ...

Annual variation across functional traits: The effects of precipitation and land use on four wild bee species

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 824-837, October 2025.
We found that a dry active season increased abundance for large bees (Bombus impatiens and Xenoglossa pruinosa), whereas Agapostemon virescens and Ceratina calcarata were more abundant in wet active seasons. A dry year resulted in larger individuals with reduced foraging effort for most bees and communities were relatively more female‐biased.
