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 ...

Tall trees and exotic herbs identified in pollen and nest materials of seven cavity-nesting solitary bee species in Australia

Frontiers in Bee Science
IntroductionSolitary bees are important pollinators yet vulnerable to decline in resource-poor landscapes. Resources for solitary bees may be supplemented by land managers through targeted plantings, however, little is known about the specific plants ...

Making with the Trouble: Un/Enfolding Posthuman Participants with Young People in Creative Post‐Qualitative Research

International Journal of Art &Design Education, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper explores how ‘what matters’ can surface in multisensory arts‐informed projects as ways for young people to survive and stay with gender and sexuality troubles that are always more than theirs. Situated in an ex‐mining post‐industrial locale, we make an agential cut in a longitudinal research and engagement project called Unboxing ...

Introduced honey bees (Apis mellifera) potentially reduce fitness of cavity-nesting native bees through a male-bias sex ratio, brood mortality and reduced reproduction

Frontiers in Bee Science
IntroductionIn Australia, as well as many other regions of the world, European honey bees Apis mellifera are an introduced species and may harm native bee fauna by competing with them for food resources.

Due Diligence Regulation and Sustainability Governance in Value Chains: Lessons From the South African Wine Sector

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A recent raft of due diligence regulation (DDR) addressing social and environmental conditions in global value chains (GVCs) has spread across the UK and Europe. An emerging literature on DDR highlights the politics of its formation. Yet, we know little about how existing sustainability governance along GVCs interacts with DDR or the wider ...

Unveiling sex dimorphism in the healthy cardiac anatomy: Fundamental differences between male and female heart shapes

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We present a shape modelling‐based morphological analysis of sex differences in cardiac anatomy. We conduct our analysis on 456 healthy subjects from the UK Biobank (227M/229F) to uncover sex‐based differences in healthy cardiac morphology.

Archives of impact: The politics of craters on Earth

Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2026.
This paper examines Earth’s 195 confirmed impact craters as archives, exploring their cataloguing and presentation as heritage sites. It argues Western scientific framings using military language and emphasising catastrophe overlook settler colonialism’s violent histories and marginalise indigenous earth‐sky cosmologies.

What do we know about Neotropical trap-nesting bees? Synopsis about their nest biology and taxonomy

Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia
Cavity-nesting bees are enigmatic because they are difficult to observe in the wild, hence trap-nests (man-made cavities) provide the means by which these bees may be studied.
