Localised patterns of wild bee abundance indicate woodlands play multiple roles in supporting farmland populations

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Across 12 farmland sites, we deployed wild bee traps in deciduous woodland canopies and understories, and in an open habitat (at field margins) before and after canopy closure. Post‐canopy closure, understory activity (relative to field margins) generally decreased, but higher temperatures may have increased its likelihood.

Associations between soil characteristics and ground‐nesting bees on farms Associations entre les caractéristiques du sol et les abeilles terricoles dans les exploitations agricoles

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We collected ground‐nesting bees at 35 farms over two summers and assessed their abundance, diversity, and community composition in relation to local soil characteristics (texture, compaction, slope, and ground cover). Ground‐nesting bee abundance and species richness increased with bare ground and sand content.

Pollen exploitation by non‐native, feral honey bees: Potential consequences for interspecific competition

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
In Southern California, a global hotspot of bee biodiversity, predominantly feral populations of the exotic western honey bee constitute an estimated 90% of individual bees and 98% of bee biomass. Honey bee foragers remove 80% of total pollen during the first day flowers open on three common native species, with their first two visits removing over 60%

Beetle Pollination in the Holoparasitic Lophophytum pyramidale (Balanophoraceae): A New Case of Brood‐Pollination Mutualism?

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beetle pollination is considered an ancestral trait in angiosperms, retained in a few specialised families engaging in longstanding interactions with ancient groups of beetles. While beetles represent some of the earliest angiosperm pollinators, there is also increasing evidence that some beetle‐pollinated plants represent a derived condition.
