Memory Matters: Bumblebee Behavioral Models for Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communications

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2018
Vehicles forming connected communication networks are routinely challenged with the complex decision problem of either staying with the same wireless channel or moving to a different wireless channel when experiencing highly variable channel quality ...

Disease associations between honeybees and bumblebees as a threat to wild pollinators

open access: yesNature, 2014
Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) pose a risk to human welfare, both directly and indirectly, by affecting managed livestock and wildlife that provide valuable resources and ecosystem services, such as the pollination of crops.

Unexpected Evolutionary Divergence of Tachykinin‐Positive Neurons Innervating the Central Complex in Hexapods

open access: yesJournal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 3, March 2026.
The central complex is a group of midline‐spanning neuropils in the brain of insects with a key role in goal‐directed orientation and navigation. Immunolabeling in 25 species, ranging from bristletails to flies, shows that neurons containing peptides of the tachykinin family of neuropeptides are present in most species studied.

Eco‐Evolutionary Dynamics of Generalist and Specialist Pollinators Facing Plant Diversity Changes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We use a trait‐based eco‐evolutionary model to explore how changes in flowering plant composition affect interacting pollinators on short‐term ecological and long‐term evolutionary timescales. We find that evolutionary responses to landscape simplification, especially among generalist pollinators, may lead to a substantial loss of functional diversity ...

The effects of flower supplementation on pollinators and pollination along an urbanisation gradient

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 654-668, March 2026.
Enhancing urban greenspaces for pollinator communities by planting flower patches is increasingly common, but their efficacy for different groups of insects (bees, hoverflies and moths) is unclear. Our city‐scale experiment demonstrated that the effect of flower patches on pollinators is complex, and direct benefits to specific insects are difficult to

Community‐level effects of Müllerian mimicry on pollinator diversity and functioning

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 599-610, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Müllerian mimicry, a mutualistic interaction in which harmful species evolve similar warning signals, is often accompanied by niche divergence among mimetic species. While these aspects have traditionally been studied in an evolutionary context, their community‐level ...

Think globally, breed locally: Limited genetic impact of management in solitary bees (Osmia bicornis and Osmia cornuta)

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.
The data suggest that the release of locally reared Osmia spp. is unlikely to interfere with the genetic structure of wild conspecifics. This contrasts with bumblebees, where the use of non‐local colonies has led to genetic introgression with local conspecific populations.

Effectiveness of infrared sensor camera monitoring for detecting pollinator visits to Cremastra appendiculata var. variabilis in a temperate forest in Central Japan

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.
A 4‐year survey of Cremastra appendiculata var. variabilis pollinators was conducted using a commercially available sensor camera throughout the flowering period. Additionally, sensor cameras and interval photography were used simultaneously to compare the number of videos capturing bumblebees.
