Floral richness drives flower–insect networks in city gardens and allotments
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Floral richness was the main driver of flower visits within green spaces whilst green space in the surrounding landscape influenced flower visits by amplifying the effects of floral richness. Native plants received more visits than non‐native plants, although flower visitor richness to non‐native plants increased later in the season as non‐native plant

A larval hunger signal in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris
Insectes Sociaux, 2006 Larvae of Bombus terrestris, a pollen-storing bumblebee, are dependent on progressive provisioning by workers. We test the hypothesis that larval cuticular chemicals can act as a hunger signal. We first show with a new classical conditioning experiment, using a Y-shaped tube, that workers can be trained to prefer the extracts of normally fed larvae ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Homing ability of the bumblebee bombus terrestris (hymenoptera: apidae)
, 2001 The ability of bumblebees to locate their nest site following artificial displacement was investigated. Bombus terrestris (Hymenoptera: Apidae) workers were marked with numbered tags and displaced up to 15 km from their nest. Bees returned from distances

Co‐Flowering Plant Species in a Glasshouse Boost Both Strawberry Production and Bee Health
Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.Integrating co‐flowering plants into glasshouse strawberry systems creates a “win‐win” synergy where floral diversification enhances stingless bee vitality and crop visitation. This approach increased A‐grade fruit from 25% to 70%, demonstrating that strategic biodiversity integration optimises both pollinator health and sustainable agricultural ...

Comparing ecological and economic benefits of organic farming and annual flower strips
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 9, September 2026.Integrating agri‐environment schemes such as organic farming and wildflower strips offers complementary effects on biodiversity conservation. Implementing these schemes enhanced biodiversity by 20%–30%, while maintaining economic viability and similar profits/ha through premium pricing and subsidies.
