A plant–pollinator invasional meltdown: the Japanese pagoda tree Styphnolobium japonicum facilitates the invasion of the giant resin bee Megachile sculpturalis

Oikos, EarlyView.
An invasional meltdown can occur when a non‐native species facilitates the spread of another non‐native species in the invaded area, increasing its likelihood of survival or its ecological impact. Plant–pollinator systems pose an exceptional study system to test this concept, which remains poorly known.

Soil health assessment using buried cotton underpants with the help of 1000 citizen scientists

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Soil is a vital resource for life on Earth. Although many soils are degraded, societal awareness of soil‐related issues is limited. To highlight soil as a key resource and fascinating study system, we initiated a citizen science project together with 1000 participants investigating soil health across Switzerland using buried cotton underpants.

The oxygen and pressure physiology of upper elevational range limits in insects

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate warming is widely expected to cause montane insects to shift upslope, and there is good evidence that some populations are doing so. Nevertheless, patterns are mixed—with evidence supporting upslope, downslope or even no movement of both lower and upper range ...

Ninhos racionais para mamangava (Xylocopa frontalis) na polinização do maracujá-amarelo (Passiflora edulis) Rational nesting box to carpenter bees (Xylocopa frontalis) in the pollination of passionfruit (Passiflora edulis)

Ciência Rural, 2003
O Brasil é o maior produtor mundial de maracujá-amarelo (Passiflora edulis), porém apresenta baixas produtividades devido à carência de polinizadores naturais, como as abelhas mamangavas (Xylocopa spp.), nas áreas cultivadas.

Volumetric Comparison of Overall Brain and Neuropil Size Between Social and Non‐social Spiders: Exploring the Social Brain Hypothesis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Brain size may be influenced by the cognitive demands of sociality (social brain hypothesis). We used microCT to compare CNS and brain volumes in social versus solitary huntsman and crab spiders. Social huntsman spiders had larger arcuate and mushroom bodies, while social crab spiders had larger visual neuropils.

Range expansion of an already widespread bee under climate change

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2019
Climate change is a key threat to pollination networks and has already caused shifts in the distribution and phenology of many bee species. Predictions based on species distribution models forecast that most bee species will continue to decline as ...
