Bee Diversity and Abundance During Peach Bloom in South Carolina, United States

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 1, Page 23-35, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Peach (Prunus persica [L.] Batsch) is an important speciality fruit crop in the United States. Peach is self‐compatible, but bee pollination enhances fruit sets and diverse populations improve pollination efficiency. However, the bee diversity and abundance in peach orchards in South Carolina are unknown.

Why mow?: A review of the resulting ecosystem services and disservices from mowing turfgrass

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Abstract Turfgrasses are those grasses that tolerate frequent mowing. The act of mowing turfgrasses, primarily lawn mowing, has received much negative attention primarily due to its labor requirement and the resulting mower emissions. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the benefits and drawbacks of mowing grasses, specifically turfgrasses ...

The Late Orchid Catches the Bee: Frost Damage and Pollination Success in the Face of Global Warming in a European Terrestrial Orchid

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2025.
This manuscript documents the effects of flowering time on frost damage and pollination success in wild populations of a European native orchid. It shows that later‐flowering individuals have higher chances of pollination success and lower frost damage.

Estimating the body size of orchid bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Euglossini) using the distance between their tegulae

European Journal of Entomology
Body mass is an important morphological trait, which is associated with the physiology and ecology of insects. In the past, estimates of body mass were often based on general mathematical equations in which body mass was related to linear measurements of
