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)
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
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]
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.

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
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 ...

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 ...
