ABSTRACT While oasis settlements emerged during the Bronze Age in Eastern and Northern Arabia, the settlement process in Central Arabia was different. Excavations at al‐Yamāma—main ancient settlement of the al‐Kharj oasis (Riyadh Province, KSA)—suggest that the latter did not emerge before the second half of the first millennium BCE.

Assessing the host plants of the invasive apricot aphid, Myzus mumecola (Hemiptera: Aphididae)
We investigated the host plants of the invasive apricot aphid Myzus mumecola (Hemiptera: Aphididae), an emerging pest species in Europe, by combining molecular and ecological approaches. The winter host plant was confirmed as apricot by both methods.

Spatial and seasonal patterns of potential orchard pollinators across a Lake Ontario gradient
Potential pollinator captures varied by season, trap height and distance from Lake Ontario, indicating that flower visitors were not evenly distributed during apple bloom. Several common bee genera, including Lasioglossum, Agapostemon, Andrena and Apis, overlapped more closely with apple bloom than the dominant retained fly genus, Toxomerus.

Time‐lapse photography with commercially available trail cameras provides a competitive alternative to direct human observations for documenting pollinator flower visits, but its performance varies between crops. In apple, the cameras recorded more diverse pollinator assemblages than the human observer due to larger temporal coverage of the camera ...
