Evolution of Peripheral Visual System in the Apoidea: A Role for Food Item Mobility? [PDF]
Ecol EvolSince larger compound eyes and ocelli altogether improve vision, one may expect that insects specialised in chasing very mobile resources possess such morphological optimisation. By analysing 77 species of bees and wasps, we have found that wasps had larger eyes, but not larger ocelli, than bees.

The role of E. maritimum (L.) in the dune pollination network of the Balearic Islands. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 Eryngium maritimum (L.) plays a key role in the dune pollination network of the Balearic islands. It behaves as an opportunistic species and is visited by more than 80 different species. Its conservation is vital to maintain the complex ecological network of this coastal habitat. Abstract Eryngium maritimum L.

A Naturally Active Spy Transposon Discovered from the Insect Genome of Colletes gigas as a Promising Novel Gene Transfer Tool. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)This study explores the discovery of novel active DNA transposons, specifically Spy transposons within the PHIS superfamily, showing recent activity across various animal species. cgSpy and cvSpy transposons from Colletes gigas and Crassostrea virginica exhibit significant transposition efficiency, with cgSpy demonstrating promising potential for ...

Evolution of five environmentally responsive gene families in a pine-feeding sawfly, Neodiprion lecontei (Hymenoptera: Diprionidae). [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 We examine the predictability of gene family size changes in the pine tree specialist Neodiprion lecontei. Overall, our results are consistent with predictable gene family expansions and contractions in response to novel selection pressures. Abstract A central goal in evolutionary biology is to determine the predictability of adaptive genetic changes ...

Pollinator activity and flowering in agricultural weeds in Sweden. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe usefulness of weeds to pollinators depends partly on the temporal pattern of flowering and flight activity. We compiled citizen science data on observation of bees and hoverflies typical of agricultural areas in southern Sweden, as well as flowering of weed species classified as pollinator‐friendly.

Reproductive aspects and pollination biology in endoparasitic Pilostyles thurberi (Apodanthaceae)
Plant Species Biology, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 40-53, March 2023., 2023 We studied pollination and reproductive strategies of the endoparasitic plant Pilostyles thurberi. The reproductive strategy, floral rewards, pollination system, and variation of their sexual flower arrangement were recorded. This endoparasite presents differences in reproductive success between different sites. Abstract Biotic pollination is typically

Ecosystem services provided by aculeate wasps
Biological Reviews, Volume 96, Issue 4, Page 1645-1675, August 2021., 2021 ABSTRACT The aculeate wasps are one of the most diverse and speciose insect taxa; they are omnipresent across ecosystems and exhibit diverse co‐evolutionary and exploitative associations with other organisms. There is widespread conjecture that aculeate wasps are likely to perform essential ecological and economic services of importance to the health ...
