Diversity and Evolution of pogo and Tc1/mariner Transposons in the Apoidea Genomes
Bees (Apoidea), the largest and most crucial radiation of pollinators, play a vital role in the ecosystem balance. Transposons are widely distributed in nature and are important drivers of species diversity.

Are Botanical Biopesticides Safe for Bees (Hymenoptera, Apoidea)?
The recent global decline in insect populations is of particular concern for pollinators. Wild and managed bees (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) are of primary environmental and economic importance because of their role in pollinating cultivated and wild plants, and synthetic pesticides are among the major factors contributing to their decline.

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%

ABSTRACT Spatial interpolation represents a fundamental approach in applied insect ecology, offering insight into species distributions and supporting biodiversity analysis, pest management and disease vector mapping. Insects—including important pollinators—face escalating threats due to habitat loss, climate change and anthropogenic pressures. As data‐

The Buzz of Inconsistency: Pollinator Potential vs. Research Effort
ABSTRACT Pollinator insects are essential for the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems and play a critical role in ensuring food security; thus, studies on this topic provide significant benefits for human society. Pollination involves diverse taxa that can vary depending on the specific environment.

A catalogue of the Ampulicidae (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) of Eritrea
Currently, the family Ampulicidae is represented by only two species of the genus Ampulex JURINE, 1807 (subfamily Ampulicinae) in Eritrea: A. brunneofasciata GIORDANI SOIKA, 1939 and A. conigera KOHL, 1893. The type of the latter is missing in the collection of the Natural History Museum Vienna (Austria).
