Disentangling the contributions of dispersal limitation, ecological drift, and ecological filtering to wild bee community assembly [PDF]
The species composition within communities is highly dependent on the rate of species immigration and whether immigrating species possess the functional traits required by the prevailing environmental conditions.

A subgeneric classification is proposed for Triepeolus—the second‐largest genus of cleptoparasitic apid bees in the world—and its sister genus Epeolus, with support from a newly presented dated phylogeny. Phylogenomic analysis based on ultraconserved elements revealed strong support for the monophyly of Triepeolus, which diverged from Epeolus sometime ...

Abstract Pollinator declines pose a significant threat to ecosystem services, making effective monitoring methods critical for conservation efforts. Current research on pollination interactions remains constrained by traditional methods such as direct observations, which have limited spatial and temporal coverage and are inherently biased toward ...

Mixed effects of urbanization on pollination services among four native plant species
We tested urbanization and fragmentation effects on pollination services using four native phytometer species that were deployed across 10 community gardens located in suburban and densely urbanized areas Landscape context generally did not influence pollination; however, for one of four phytometers (Lobelia siphilitica, pictured above) urban cover ...

Pollination ecology of the rare desert species Eremosparton songoricum (Fabaceae) [PDF]
The pollination ecology of Eremosparton songoricum (Litv.) Vass., a rare desert species endemic to central Asia, was examined by a series of observational studies and manipulative experiments in two natural populations during 2007-2008.

High‐purity single‐photon emission at telecom O‐band is demonstrated from droplet‐epitaxy InAs quantum dots embedded in a GaAs/AlGaAs microcavity. Strain engineering via an InAlAs buffer enables broadband telecom emission with high purity, short lifetimes, and enhanced extraction.

Cuticular Hydrocarbons as Sex Pheromone of the Bee Colletes cunicularius and the Key to its Mimicry by the Sexually Deceptive Orchid, Ophrys exaltata [PDF]
Male Colletes cunicularius bees pollinate the orchid, Ophrys exaltata, after being sexually deceived by the orchid's odor-mimicry of the female bee's sex pheromone. We detected biologically active volatiles of C. cunicularius by using gas chromatographic-

The restoration of ecological interactions: plant-pollinator networks on ancient and restored heathlands [PDF]
1. Attempts to restore damaged ecosystems usually emphasize structural aspects of biodiversity, such as species richness and abundance. An alternative is to emphasize functional aspects, such as patterns of interaction between species.
