Citizen science initiatives increase pollinator activity in private gardens and green spaces
Frontiers in Sustainable Cities, 2023 Wild insect pollinators are essential to cultivated and natural ecosystems globally. Today, many pollinator species are declining. One reason is a general lack of flowering habitats at landscape scales.

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 ...

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 ...

Air Bee n' Bee: a citizen science study of man-made solitary bee hotels as a conservation approach
, 2018 "Air Bee n' Bee" is a citizen-science study exploring the efficacy of man-made bee hotel designs in attracting solitary bee species. The species targeted by the nests are primarily are Osmia (Mason bee) and Megachilae (Leafcutter bee). In the UK, these crucial pollinators are largely unmanaged compared to hive species and require study at a ...

Defining the pollinator garden: is conceptual flexibility a feature or a bug?
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.Ecologists often aim to reduce conceptual ambiguity by attempting to create rigid shared lexicons. These efforts imply that ambiguity is undesirable. In some contexts, however, conceptual flexibility comes with under‐discussed benefits. Here, we use the lens of pollinator gardening to explore how conceptual flexibility is built into participatory ...

AI Cracks Jokes: Building Consumer–Brand Closeness Through Machine‐Generated Humor
Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Integrating AI led social cues into service encounters has become a key strategy for humanizing technology. Grounded in Social Penetration Theory, this research examines how AI‐generated humor styles (affiliative vs. self‐defeating) influence consumer brand identification and proposes consumer personality as a key moderator.
