Abstract Plant pests, particularly non‐native species, can have a profound impact on their host plants. Trees are the foundation of forest ecosystems and serve as important structures in agricultural landscapes and urban areas. In Sweden, forests cover around 70 % of Sweden's land area and serve as an important national resource for the economy and for

Historical and recent investigations on the bee fauna of Taiwan (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) [PDF]
The bee fauna of Taiwan was studied intensively in the first half of last century and was based in large parts on the extensive material collected by Hans Sauter between 1902 and 1914. Subsequent studies on bees of Taiwan have only been sporadic.

Identification of pollen types of beekeeping interest by non‐targeted mass spectrometry
Abstract Background The identification of pollen is important in the field of beekeeping for the determination of the botanical origin of bee products and investigations of bee diet. Until now, it has been performed by melissopalynology, the microscopic examination of pollen grains. However, this technique has some limitations, such as the necessity of

Heterospecific Hymenoptera found inside the nests of Bombus impatiens (Hymenoptera: Apidae). [PDF]
The nests of social Hymenoptera are particularly attractive to species engaging in resource robbing due to their concentration of resources. Here, the identity of heterospecific intruders in Bombus impatiens nests are described, with a particular focus ...

ABSTRACT Fire disturbance is an integral part of many ecosystems. However, some taxa may not be resilient to the increasing size, intensity, and frequency of fire events due to climate change. We investigated how terrestrial invertebrate Ordinal‐level community structure and the abundance of six Orders (Acarina, Araneae, Coleoptera, Collembola, Diptera,

ABSTRACT Aim The functional diversity of bees contribute to the maintenance of plant biodiversity because different species of wild bees prefer and pollinate different plants. Many bees, in particular species with narrow flower preferences or specialised habitat requirements, are threatened by landscape homogenisation and climate change.
