Intensive arable farming calls for resilient wild bee restoration amid severe abundance fluctuations
Abstract Intensive arable farming threatens wild bees by reducing floral and nesting resources, increasing agrochemical exposure, and amplifying climatic stress. Ecological restoration using native wildflower mixtures is a promising intervention to recover pollinator diversity and the ecosystem service of pollination.

Morphological and Ecological Traits Explain Variation in Desiccation Tolerance Among Bees
We assessed the desiccation tolerance in 22 bee species from the Greek island of Lesbos. Larger bees lost water more slowly and survived longer, while survival declined with increasing water loss rate and water content at mortality. Morphological and ecological traits shaped physiological responses, highlighting trait‐based mechanisms underlying ...
