Assessing predation pressure of Vespa velutina on local fauna through DNA metabarcoding
This study investigates the predation pressure exerted by the invasive yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina) on native insect populations in Mallorca, using DNA metabarcoding to analyze their diet. Results reveal a diverse prey spectrum, including key insect groups such as Apidae (bees), Calliphoridae (blowflies), and Vespidae (wasps), with no ...

Mixed Outcomes in Recombination Rates After Domestication: Revisiting Theory and Data
ABSTRACT The process of domestication has altered many phenotypes. Selection on these phenotypes has long been hypothesised to indirectly select for increases in the genome‐wide recombination rate. This hypothesis is potentially consistent with theory on the evolution of the recombination rate, but empirical support has been unclear. We review relevant

Automated identification of honey bee pollen loads for field‐applied palynological studies
Summary In a changing world, it is crucial to characterise communities and their evolution over time. Because social insect pollinators forage on flowering plants around the colony, the nest potentially contains important information about the pollinated plants such as species identity and plant phenology.
