Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...

Coinvasional disruptions to island pollinator networks
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Biological invasions can adversely affect pollinator diversity by threatening the maintenance of animal‐pollinated plant communities. Although most studies have examined single invasive species, accelerating species introductions driven by global trade highlight the need to understand how multiple co‐occurring invaders jointly influence ...

Pest‐preservation paradox among insects
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.The pest‐preservation paradox is a non‐binary perspective that insects range from those that are harmful and requiring management on the one side, to those requiring conservation intervention on the opposite end of the spectrum. Importantly, the vast majority of insects occur somewhere in the center of the two extremes, and their position along the ...

Synthesis of Pollinator‐Friendly Management in European Protected Areas
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Effectiveness of pollinator‐friendly management in European protected areas. Abstract Pollinators are important to humans and nature due to their role in ecosystem functioning and services. Research on the effects of pollinator management in protected areas is insufficient compared with that on farmlands and urban areas, potentially hindering ...

1173. Ipomoea pandurata (L.) G. Mey
Curtis's Botanical Magazine, EarlyView.Summary Ipomoea pandurata is a Morning Glory from North America which develops a large storage root. There is much uncertainty about its discovery before its formal description in the middle of the 18th century. Originally described as a Convolvulus, almost a hundred years passed before its recognition as a species of Ipomoea.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Using DNA metabarcoding, this study investigates pollen transported by syrphids (Syrphidae) in the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park and agricultural sites in Northern Italy. The analysis reveals a high diversity of visited plant taxa, including previously undocumented plant–pollinator interactions.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Application of the fungicide Switch 62.5 WG in garden strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa), targeting Botrytis cinerea, reduced sawfly (Cladius spp.) herbivory by up to 94% and improved fruit quality. This non‐target effect also spilled over to neighbouring untreated plants, lowering damage by 46%.
