High Elevation Refugia for Bombus terricola (Hymenoptera: Apidae) Conservation and Wild Bees of the White Mountain National Forest

open access: yesJournal of Insect Science, 2017
Many wild bee species are in global decline, yet much is still unknown about their diversity and contemporary distributions. National parks and forests offer unique areas of refuge important for the conservation of rare and declining species populations.

Air pollution and its multifaceted effects on insect pollinators: A review

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 1-17, February 2026.
Air pollution disrupts plant‐pollinator interactions by impairing floral signal transmission, altering foraging behaviour, and reducing pollinator fitness, flight efficiency, reproduction and survival, posing serious threats to ecological stability.

Multiple Key Hosts and Network Structure Shape Viral Prevalence Across Multispecies Communities of Bees

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study develops a quantitative framework that integrates field data, epidemiological models, simulations, and Bayesian inference to identify key viral hosts in multispecies bee communities. By estimating species‐specific R0 values from flower‐visitor networks and viral screening, we show that honeybees, as well as other wild bees, can drive the ...

Bumblebees gain fitness through learning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Despite the widespread assumption that the learning abilities of animals are adapted to the particular environments in which they operate, the quantitative effects of learning performance on fitness remain virtually unknown. Here we evaluate the learning

Development of a Modular 3D‐Printed Pollen Trap for Bumble Bee Monitoring

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 1, Page 101-106, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate pollen collection is essential for understanding bumble bee foraging dynamics, assessing environmental risks and monitoring colony health. Effective monitoring systems provide critical insights into pesticide exposure, floral resource availability and pollinator health.

Flight control and landing precision in the nocturnal bee Megalopta is robust to large changes in light intensity

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2015
Like its diurnal relatives, Megalopta genalis use visual information to control flight. Unlike their diurnal relatives, however, they do this at extremely low light intensities.

Fine‐tuning the buzz: comparing visitation frequency and pollination effectiveness in plant–pollinator networks

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 2140-2152, February 2026.
Summary Ecological network approaches have advanced our understanding of how species interactions influence community and evolutionary dynamics. However, a key limitation is that most network analyses rely solely on visitation data, often overlooking functional aspects of interactions.
