Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Since 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.

Color pan traps often catch less when there are more flowers around [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 9, Page 3830-3840, May 2021., 2021 Colour pan traps are often recommended for pollinator monitoring. We report that pan trap catches may suffer from a negative bias due to surrounding flower frequency and color. The occurrence and magnitude of the negative bias were context and taxon dependent, and therefore difficult to adjust for.
