Mixed effects of urbanization on pollination services among four native plant species

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
We tested urbanization and fragmentation effects on pollination services using four native phytometer species that were deployed across 10 community gardens located in suburban and densely urbanized areas Landscape context generally did not influence pollination; however, for one of four phytometers (Lobelia siphilitica, pictured above) urban cover ...

Air pollution and its multifaceted effects on insect pollinators: A review

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Air pollution disrupts plant‐pollinator interactions by impairing floral signal transmission, altering foraging behaviour, and reducing pollinator fitness, flight efficiency, reproduction and survival, posing serious threats to ecological stability.

Pollen exploitation by non‐native, feral honey bees: Potential consequences for interspecific competition

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
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%

Spatial Interpolation in Applied Insect Ecology: A Review, Including Guidelines and Datasets for Practical Use

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
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‐

Historical and recent investigations on the bee fauna of Taiwan (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) [PDF]

, 2008
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.

Floral strips increase the abundance and spillover of beneficial insects in rotational crop fields

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 653-670, November 2025.
Abstract Insects provide many ecological functions that support agricultural production, but beneficial insect populations are often lower in areas of intensive agriculture. Agronomic practices that support beneficial insect populations are important for sustainable crop production.
