Using total abundance as a proxy for wild bee species richness: A practical tool for non‐experts

Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
The use of a simple but effective proxy could be an important starting point for the expansion of wild bee monitoring initiatives at the regional scale, particularly given the growing involvement of non‐specialists. We provided here a simple implementation framework to use this proxy in rapid biodiversity assessments, such as the evaluation of payment ...

Assessing the role of dispersed floralresources for managed bees in providingsupporting ecosystem services for croppollination [PDF]

, 2018
Most pollination ecosystem services studies have focussed on wild pollinators and their dependence on natural floral resources adjacent to crop fields. However, managed pollinators depend on a mixture of floral resources that are spatially separated from

Landscape and crop diversity contributes to greater yield stability

Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
These findings underscore the importance of promoting crop diversity and maintaining heterogeneous agricultural landscapes, particularly in pollinator‐dependent crops. Promoting diverse agricultural landscapes with balanced heterogeneity can enhance the resilience of agricultural systems to climate change and contribute to long‐term food security ...

Honeybees Learn Odour Mixtures via a Selection of Key Odorants [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND The honeybee has to detect, process and learn numerous complex odours from her natural environment on a daily basis. Most of these odours are floral scents, which are mixtures of dozens of different odorants.

Exploring the impact of a chemical disinfectant and an antiviral drug for RNA virus management in the Mediterranean fruit fly mass‐rearing

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Mediterranean fruit fly is an agricultural pest of a wide variety of fruit crops. An effective method to counteract them in the field is through the application of the sterile insect technique, which requires the mass‐production of sterile males.

Chemoreceptor Evolution in Hymenoptera and Its Implications for the Evolution of Eusociality. [PDF]

, 2015
Eusocial insects, mostly Hymenoptera, have evolved unique colonial lifestyles that rely on the perception of social context mainly through pheromones, and chemoreceptors are hypothesized to have played important adaptive roles in the evolution of ...

Effect of Spiroplasma infection on the mating behavior of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Tsetse flies are insects of significant public health and zoonotic importance as they are the main vectors of African trypanosomes. To date, an effective vaccine is unavailable and efforts to limit the spread of the disease primarily rely on controlling the tsetse populations.
