Beneath the buzz: Quantifying nest locations and densities of ground‐nesting wild bees (Hymenoptera: Anthophila)

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, Page 1334-1349, July 2025.
Abstract Wild bees (Hymenoptera: Anthophila) are important pollinators and essential for maintaining ecosystem health. The majority of bee species are ground‐nesting, and all bees spend most of their lifetime inside the nest. Still, most studies and monitoring schemes assess wild bees during flower visitation, allowing no conclusion about their nest ...

Challenges in Modelling Spatio‐Temporal Climatic Correlates of Local Losses of Wild Bees Using Dynamic Occupancy Models

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Impacts of climate change on biodiversity are well documented. Much of the evidence linking climate change to species distribution changes derives from studies using long‐term climate averages in a correlative spatial framework. While useful, these static species distribution models (SDMs) give little insight into the process behind the ...

Pharmacophagy in insects: Ecological and evolutionary perspectives on the non‐nutritional use of plant specialized metabolites

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 661-673, July 2025.
Insects interact with plants not only for nutrition but also to actively seek plant specialized metabolites (PSMs) for chemical defense, reproduction, and self‐medication—a behavior known as pharmacophagy. This review examines how insects across diverse orders acquire PSMs from both food and non‐food plants for non‐nutritional benefits.

Plant–arthropod associations in custard apples, genus Annona: A global perspective

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 651-660, July 2025.
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.
