Pollen limitation of native plant reproduction in an urban landscape
American Journal of Botany, Volume 109, Issue 12, Page 1969-1980, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Premise Evidence suggests that bees may benefit from moderate levels of human development. However, the effects of human development on pollination and reproduction of bee‐pollinated plants are less‐well understood. Studies have measured natural variation in pollination and plant reproduction as a function of urbanization, but few have ...

Functional diversity of farmland bees across rural–urban landscapes in a tropical megacity
Ecological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 8, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Urbanization poses a major threat to biodiversity and food security, as expanding cities, especially in the Global South, increasingly compete with natural and agricultural lands. However, the impact of urban expansion on agricultural biodiversity in tropical regions is overlooked.

Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 117-131, January 2023., 2023 The diversity of flower‐visiting arthropods in four Danish apple orchards was assessed using molecular (metabarcoding) and non‐molecular techniques. The aim was to obtain a broader overview of arhtropod communities present to support future management practices towards more sustainable agricultural systems.

Using the Honey Bee (Apis mellifera L.) Cell Line AmE‐711 to Evaluate Insecticide Toxicity
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 88-99, January 2023., 2023 Abstract One of the main contributors to poor productivity and elevated mortality of honey bee colonies globally is insecticide exposure. Whole‐organism and colony‐level studies have demonstrated the effects of insecticides on many aspects of honey bee biology and have also shown their interactions with pathogens.

Linking bacterial diversity to floral identity in the bumble bee pollen basket
Environmental DNA, 2021 Multitrophic interactions are ubiquitous in nature and form the basis of biodiversity. For example, bumble bees visit flowers to collect pollen, on which a variety of bacteria exist.
