Is urbanisation a barrier to genetic diversity in the solitary specialist bee, Melissodes druriellus?

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Bees are integral pollinators commonly found in and supported by urban green spaces; however, their eco‐evolutionary response to urbanisation varies interspecifically. While several studies have explored the population and landscape genetics of bees in response to urbanisation, few have examined solitary or specialist species which may be more ...

Mapping wild bee diversity and flower use for an effective conservation of the Doñana biodiversity hotspot

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We compiled the first checklist of wild bees in Doñana Protected Area, documenting 385 species, including three vulnerable and one endangered species listed in the Red List. Bee species exhibit diverse floral preferences, highlighting the need to incorporate plant–pollinator interactions and the role of plants in conservation and management strategies ...

Neighbourhood society: nesting dynamics, usurpations and social behaviour in solitary bees. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Intraspecific cleptoparasitism represents a facultative strategy advantageous for reducing time and energy costs. However, only a few studies about nesting dynamics have described intraspecific cleptoparasitic behaviour in obligate solitary bees.

Listening to tuna: Acoustic characterization of captive juvenile yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The effectiveness of passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) for studying marine biodiversity highly relies on comprehensive libraries of species‐specific sounds. While sound production is well‐documented in reef and freshwater fishes, the acoustic behaviour of ecologically and economically vital pelagic species like tunas still remains largely ...

Impacts of Quaternary Climate History on the Biogeography of Specialized Butterflies in the Great Basin of North America

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Dramatic Quaternary climate fluctuations impacted the evolutionary history and contemporary biogeography of many residents of the Great Basin Desert of western North America. This study investigates the historical biogeographic processes that shaped the contemporary distribution of genetic variation in a polytypic group of specialized ...

Bee Fauna (Apoidea: Hymenoptera) of the Suez Canal Region, Egypt

Journal of Apicultural Science, 2013
Skład gatunkowy zgrupowań pszczół samotnic zmienia się w zależności od roślinności, obecności dogodnych siedlisk gniazdowania oraz stopnia fragmentacji tych siedlisk. W Egipcie rozwój rolnictwa w regionie Kanału Sueskiego stanowi duże wyzwanie z uwagi na

The nesting biology and foraging distance of the bee Colletes andrewsi (Hymenoptera, Colletidae), a rare specialist of Heuchera spp. [PDF]

Journal of Hymenoptera Research
Many bee nesting and foraging studies are concentrated on common species and floral generalists. Therefore, numerous rare and specialized species lack crucial life history information, which is the case for many species within the genus Colletes.

Fat‐tailed dispersal shapes connectivity in a solitary bee

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Dispersal—movement potentially leading to gene flow—is a fundamental ecological process yet notoriously difficult to measure. For solitary bees in particular, determining the spatial scale of dispersal movements and how landscape features influence connectivity is key to achieving conservation goals. Over 2 years, we marked 1698 females of the
