Missing the biodiversity for the bee: Natural land management strategies impact functional invertebrate diversity in commercial cranberry production

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 265-279, May 2025.
Floral resources were similar between dike and semi‐natural areas while invertebrate richness, diversity, and composition differed. Invertebrate community composition differed based on presence of specific flora. Pollinator abundance was twice as high in the semi‐natural habitat.

The draft genome sequence of the Japanese honey bee, Apis cerana japonica (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

open access: yesEuropean 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 ...

Host‐Cleptoparasite Biogeographical Congruence Through Time: The Case of Cuckoo Oil Bees

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Insect brood parasites (i.e., cleptoparasites), like cuckoo bees, typically attack hosts within specific lineages, but seem to be less constrained by the biogeographical movements of their hosts compared to obligate parasites. Cuckoo bees depend on stable host populations, being particularly sensitive to environmental changes and thus ...

A survey of the genus Ceratina Latreille (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in northern Iran, with three new records [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics, 2016
A field survey of the bee fauna was conducted in the north of Iran during 2009 to 2015. Special concern was given to the tribe Ceratinini (Hymenoptera; Apidae). Ten species of the genus Ceratina were collected and identified in the present study.

A DNA barcoding method for identifying and quantifying the composition of pollen species collected by European honeybees, Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

open access: yesApplied Entomology and Zoology, 2018
The European honeybee, Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae), is the most important crop pollinator, and there is an urgent need for a sustained supply of honeybee colonies.

Fire Is Associated With Positive Shifts in Bumble Bee (Bombus vosnesenskii) Body Size and Bee Abundance in the Southern Sierra Nevada Mountains

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
Wildfires increase the abundance and size of bumble bees in the Southern Sierra Mountains. Wildfires may benefit bumble bees by enhancing floral resource availability and increasing their populations. ABSTRACT Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of wildfires worldwide. Although wildfires are typically viewed as destructive, emerging

The clockwork of insect activity: Advancing ecological understanding through automation

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 4, Page 597-610, April 2025.
The study demonstrates that time‐controlled insect sampling using an automated Malaise trap in combination with metabarcoding allows for the observation and documentation of taxon‐specific activity patterns. These recorded activity patterns can provide valuable insights into the underlying ecological processes, including parasitoid–host relationships ...

Nucleotide diversity based on csd gene of the black giant honey bee, Apis laboriosa (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2013
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 ...
