Plant–arthropod associations in custard apples, genus Annona: A global perspective
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Annona species, commonly known as custard apples, engage with a wide range of arthropods, including both herbivores and pollinators, which shape their ecology. These plants produce secondary metabolites that may serve as natural defenses against pests.

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.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 ...

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.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.

The antiquity and evolutionary history of social behavior in bees. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 A long-standing controversy in bee social evolution concerns whether highly eusocial behavior has evolved once or twice within the corbiculate Apidae. Corbiculate bees include the highly eusocial honey bees and stingless bees, the primitively eusocial ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Animal personality plays a key role in translocation success in both wild‐to‐wild and captive‐to‐wild translocations, with important implications for the success of conservation projects. However, the majority of studies so far have explored the link between personality and translocation success in vertebrate translocations, and there has been less ...

The draft genome sequence of the Japanese honey bee, Apis cerana japonica (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
European Journal of Entomology, 2018 Honey bees are not only important for honey production but also as pollinators of wild and cultivated plants. The Eastern honeybee (Apis cerana) is more resistant to several pathogens than the Western honeybee (Apis mellifera), and the genomes of two ...

Perceptions of adaptation, resilience and climate knowledge in the Pacific: The cases of Samoa, Fiji and Vanuatu [PDF]
International Journal of Climate Change Strategies and Management, 2018 Purpose – While the South Pacific is often cited as highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, there is comparatively little known about how different groups perceive climate change.
