Assessing predation pressure of Vespa velutina on local fauna through DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Leptus alberti n. sp. (Trombidiformes: Erythraeidae) parasitizing free-living colonies of Apis mellifera, Partamona peckolti, Paratrigona eutaeniata and Tetragonisca angustula in Totoró and Valle del Cauca, Colombia.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
This study examined the ectoparasites in free-living wild bee colonies in Totoró, Cauca Department, and Valle del Cauca, Colombia. Researchers collected 2116 bee specimens: 620 from Cauca (200 Apis mellifera, 320 Partamona peckolti, and 100 Paratrigona ...

Mixed Outcomes in Recombination Rates After Domestication: Revisiting Theory and Data

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
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

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
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.
