ABSTRACT Stingless bees in the genus Tetragonula are social insects with a fully sterile worker caste, and are therefore well‐placed to provide insights into the genomic changes associated with ‘superorganismal’ life histories. Here we assemble the genome of Tetragonula carbonaria and characterise the population structure and divergence of both T ...

Our multifaceted approach revealed that the mosaics of habitats surrounding urban flower meadows are at least as necessary to support bees as the local features of UFMs. An abundance of bees responded positively to the number of flowering units, the blue and yellow colors of flowers, and increased cover of industrial areas, green urban areas, and ...

Leveraging Community Science to Measure Bee Body Size From Museum Specimens
Community or volunteer participation in research has the potential to significantly help mobilize the wealth of biodiversity and functional ecological data housed in natural history collections. We tasked community scientists with measuring bee body size from images of museum specimens and assessed data quality.

Colletidae nesting biology (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) [PDF]
Colletidae are unique among bees for certain aspects of their nesting biology. In this review, attributes of colletid nesting are evaluated and discussed in light of a novel phylogenetic hypothesis for the family. Some predictions made about evolution of certain traits, such as the cocoon-spinning behavior of Diphaglossinae, are confronted with ...

Planting native wildflowers improves vacant land as bee habitat in a post‐industrial city
Greening with native wildflowers in urban vacant land (pocket prairies) increases bee abundance and species richness in the post‐industrial city of Cleveland, Ohio, USA. Pocket prairies supported a similar bee abundance to Metropark grasslands in the surrounding landscape, but Metropark grasslands supported significantly higher bee diversity and ...
