The potential importance of synanthropic vegetation to bumblebees in urban ecosystems on the example of Lublin

open access: yesActa Agrobotanica, 2014
This study was an attempt to show synanthropic phytocoenoses of the city of Lublin which are potentially valuable to pollinating insects such as bumblebees. B. terrestris and B. lapidarius as well as B. lucorum, B. hypnorum and B. pascuorum were found to

Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...

Flower Constancy of Bumblebees – The Case of Onobrychis pindicola (Fabaceae) Pollinators

open access: yesJournal of Apicultural Science, 2018
Pollination in high mountain habitats is an important ecosystem service in climate change conditions. The aim of this study was to use pollen load analysis to assess flower constancy and foraging choices of bumblebees foraging on Onobrychis pindicola, a ...

The use of conspecific and interspecific scent marks by foraging bumblebees and honeybees

open access: yes, 2001
Bumblebees (Bombus spp.) and honeybees, Apis mellifera, both use odour cues deposited on flowers by previous visitors to improve their foraging efficiency. Short-lived repellent scents are used to avoid probing flowers that have recently been depleted of

Fungicide Non‐Target Effects Cause Reduced Sawfly Herbivory in Treated and Neighbouring Strawberry Plants

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Application of the fungicide Switch 62.5 WG in garden strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa), targeting Botrytis cinerea, reduced sawfly (Cladius spp.) herbivory by up to 94% and improved fruit quality. This non‐target effect also spilled over to neighbouring untreated plants, lowering damage by 46%.
