Not all crickets are equal: selective shrike predation highlights the conservation value of diverse arthropod communities to grassland birds

Ibis, EarlyView.
Understanding dietary preferences and prey selection is pivotal for interpreting the ecology and conservation needs of threatened species. We investigated the diet composition and prey selection of the Red‐backed Shrike Lanius collurio in a montane grassland of the central Italian Apennines, with special regard to sex‐related differences and the ...

Measurement of electric charges on foraging bumblebees (Bombus terrestris)

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2019
Abstract Bumblebees carry electric charge. Almost always positive, this charge facilitates pollen transfer between bumblebee and flower during pollination and is likely to play a role in the detection of electric fields. Models of the Coulomb forces acting on pollen grains during pollination are predominantly based upon laboratory ...

Mapping wild bee diversity and flower use for an effective conservation of the Doñana biodiversity hotspot

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We compiled the first checklist of wild bees in Doñana Protected Area, documenting 385 species, including three vulnerable and one endangered species listed in the Red List. Bee species exhibit diverse floral preferences, highlighting the need to incorporate plant–pollinator interactions and the role of plants in conservation and management strategies ...

A core linkage map of the bumblebeeBombus terrestris

Genome, 2006
The bumblebee Bombus terrestris is an economically important pollinator and an emerging model species in quantitative and population genetics. We generated genetic linkage maps for 3 independent mapping populations of B. terrestris. The linkage map with the highest resolution had 21 linkage groups, which adequately represents the haploid chromosome ...

Food resources are more important than nesting resources for explaining wild bee diversity in urban gardens Nahrungsressourcen haben einen größeren Einfluss auf die Wildbienendiversität in urbanen Gärten als das Nistangebot

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Urban community gardens showed a high wild bee diversity with 168 recorded species, representing roughly 30% of Germany's wild bees, including threatened species like Osmia mitis and Coelioxys lanceolata. Floral resources, not nesting resources or habitat availability, were the main drivers for wild bee taxonomic and functional diversity.

The Future of Native Bees in Australia Under Environmental and Anthropogenic Change

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Bees are considered one of the most important and abundant pollinators across the globe, yet they are under threat from anthropogenic activities such as land‐clearing, urbanisation, agricultural activities, pesticide use, non‐native flora and fauna introductions, disruption of natural fire regimes, pollution and climate change, among others.

BumbleBEEP: A Sensor System for Bumblebee Colony Monitoring

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 10, Page 1268-1274, October 2026.
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.

Synergistic effect of honeybees and wild floral visitors in promoting sweet cherry fruit set in central Chile

Biological Research
Background Recent evidence highlights the key role of wild insects as pollinators in agroecosystems, enhancing fruit set in crops such as sweet cherry (Prunus avium). In Chile, the contribution of wild insects to crop yield remains poorly understood, and

Nutritional composition of pollen stores in managed bees across European agro‐ecosystems reveals species‐specific differences but limited pesticide effects

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 5, Page 853-865, October 2026.
In the pollen stores of three bee species deployed across 128 European sites, bumble bees harboured lower lipid content and higher protein‐to‐lipid ratios than honey bees and mason bees. Toxicity‐weighted pesticide risk did not alter protein‐to‐lipid ratios, but higher risk was associated with reduced protein and lipid content in the pollen stores of ...
