Taxonomic, Phylogenetic and Functional Diversity of Mammals Across a Nationwide Protected Area Network

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Using camera‐trap data from 26 protected across Tanzania, we show that greater landscape heterogeneity and stronger protection are associated with higher mammal species richness and, in turn, functionally and phylogenetically richer mammal assemblages. Greater landscape heterogeneity appears to favour generalist species while stronger protection seems ...

Modulating Hunting Atmospheres: Mud and Material Flows Beyond the Kill

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article argues that hunting is not a bounded event but a materially redistributed atmosphere that extends beyond the kill and across field, truck, clothing, and home. Drawing on long‐term ethnographic fieldwork with wild boar hunters in Uruguay, I show how mud, odors, blood, and bodily residues carry the sensory, affective, and material ...

De la ruche-tronc à la ruche à cadres : ethnoécologie historique de l’apiculture en Cévennes

open access: yesRevue d'ethnoécologie, 2016
On the grounds that beekeeping of the single domesticated honeybee looks at first sight homogenous throughout whole Europe, understanding the evolution of this activity at the very local level is generally overlooked.

Coinvasional disruptions to island pollinator networks

open access: yesConservation 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 ...

BumbleBEEP: A Sensor System for Bumblebee Colony Monitoring

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We present a bumblebee colony monitoring system, BumbleBEEP. The system is fitted with thermometers and a custom weight sensor. These record data up to every 15 min, recording bumblebee brood nest temperature, environmental ambient temperature, and colony growth.

Geographic Classification of Social Bees Using Automated Wing Pattern Analysis

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We present an end‐to‐end deep learning framework for automated geographic classification of honey bee populations based on wing morphology. A dataset of 1040 wing images from seven regions was analyzed using four CNN architectures with transfer learning.

Determination of Risk Factors in Beekeeping Enterprises Producing Geographically Indicated Kars Honey

open access: yesActa Veterinaria Eurasia
Beekeeping, besides yielding honey and various bee products like propo lis, beeswax, royal jelly, pollen, and bee venom, also plays an essential role in plant pollination, thereby enhancing plant production.

Eusocial bee species are exposed to different toxic element profiles despite foraging within the same landscape

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Bombus terrestris and Apis mellifera colonies sharing the same landscape (<50 m from each other) collected pollen with significantly different heavy metal concentrations. B. terrestris‐collected pollen contained 2–7× higher concentrations of arsenic, chromium, cobalt, lead and tin than A. mellifera‐collected pollen.

Diet breadth shapes gut microbiota in the invasive hornet Vespa velutina

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Dietary and microbial profiles of V. velutina larvae are dominated by Apidae and Firmicutes, respectively. DNA metabarcoding of larval meconium and gut samples reveals a significant positive correlation between prey richness and bacterial diversity in the invasive hornet V. velutina. Multiple significant correlations exist between dietary and microbial
