Effects of flower patch additions and urbanisation on cavity‐nesting bees and wasps
Ecological Solutions and EvidenceCavity‐nesting bees and wasps provide essential ecosystem services such as pollination and pest control but can be negatively affected by urbanisation. Within urban environments, cavity‐nesting hymenopterans use greenspaces to forage for food and nesting

Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2022 Gynandromorphs are individuals that display both male and female features throughout the body and are rarely found in nature. We document and describe two new gynandromorphs of the large carpenter bee Xylocopa (Neoxylocopa) augusti reared from a trap ...

Journal of Apicultural Research, 2022 Food production is highly dependent on pollination services provided by insects; 75% of the leading global food crops need animals for successful production. Pollinators, including managed and wild bees, are declining in many parts of the world. The loss of natural habitats providing nesting sites is considered as one of the main factors driving the ...

Bee hotels host a high abundance of exotic bees in an urban context
Acta Oecologica, 2020 Bee hotels are increasingly set up by land managers in public parks to promote wild bee populations. However, we have very little evidence of the usefulness of bee hotels as tools to help the conservation of wild bees within cities. In this study, we installed 96 bee hotels in public parks of Marseille (France) for a year and followed their use as a ...

The Bees among Us: Modelling Occupancy of Solitary Bees. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Occupancy modelling has received increasing attention as a tool for differentiating between true absence and non-detection in biodiversity data. This is thought to be particularly useful when a species of interest is spread out over a large area and ...

China's energy consumption in the building sector: A Statistical Yearbook-Energy Balance Sheet based splitting method [PDF]
, 2018 China's energy consumption in the building sector (BEC) is not counted as a separate type of energy consumption, but divided and mixed in other sectors in China's statistical system. This led to the lack of historical data on China's BEC.

Urban Ecosystems, 2023 AbstractWith urbanisation leading to loss of nesting resources, and increasing public interest in helping bees, bee hotels (trap-nests) are becoming popularised. However, their success is relatively understudied. The influence of habitat type in determining occupancy and emergence is also poorly known.
