Disentangling the influence of environmental conditions on sex determination in haplodiploid organisms

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The authors unravel how environmental conditions influence sex determination and resource allocation in a haplodiploid bee species. Using high‐resolution field data, they show that individual sex allocation shifts with environmental conditions, while population sex ratio and individual resource allocation remain stable, highlighting the complexity of ...

Temperature influences pollinators' choice of floral partners independently of community composition

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This paper presents novel research that empirically demonstrates a direct link between temperature and plant–pollinator interaction patterns, independently of changes to community composition in either guild. We find that even without changes to community composition, pollinators including bumblebees exhibit different interactions across temperatures ...

From cities to refuges for pollinators: Urban practices for enhancing pollinator habitats in changing landscapes

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
A framework for the support of pollinators in urban areas is developed here, based on five pillars: nesting, flower resources, artificial support, management and society acceptance, with additional key elements from science and society. Society should incorporate strategies for pollinators as in this framework by means of co‐planning with stakeholders,

Effect of diet on the quality and quantity of venom produced by Apis cerana [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The bee venom samples from honey bee (Apis cerana) foraged on seven plants dominating seven sites in Malaysia were collected. The protein content of the pollen loads of these test plants were tested according to the method of Kjeldahl (AOAC 1990).

Using total abundance as a proxy for wild bee species richness: A practical tool for non‐experts

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
The use of a simple but effective proxy could be an important starting point for the expansion of wild bee monitoring initiatives at the regional scale, particularly given the growing involvement of non‐specialists. We provided here a simple implementation framework to use this proxy in rapid biodiversity assessments, such as the evaluation of payment ...

Landscape and crop diversity contributes to greater yield stability

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
These findings underscore the importance of promoting crop diversity and maintaining heterogeneous agricultural landscapes, particularly in pollinator‐dependent crops. Promoting diverse agricultural landscapes with balanced heterogeneity can enhance the resilience of agricultural systems to climate change and contribute to long‐term food security ...

A pan‐European citizen science study shows population size, climate and land use are related to biased morph ratios in the heterostylous plant Primula veris

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, EarlyView.
A large‐scale citizen science study involving thousands of cowslip (Primula veris) observations from all over Europe revealed an unexpected prevalence of S‐morphs over L‐morphs, which was influenced by climatic as well as land use factors. Furthermore, general morph ratios were often unbalanced with the strongest shifts occurring in smaller populations.
