Diet characterisation of solitary bees on farmland: dietary specialisation predicts rarity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Changes in agricultural practice across Europe and North America have been associated with declines in wild bee populations. Bee diet breadth has been associated with sensitivity to agricultural intensification, but much of this analysis has been ...

Geographic Variation in the Pollination Biology of Passiflora lutea (Passifloraceae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Like most species of Passiflora, P. lutea is reported to produce one-day flowers with complicated floral movements and requires deposition of non-self pollen for fruit production. Medium sized bees are the most likely pollinators in central Texas.

Novel validation of HDR brachytherapy dosimetry for cervical cancer using egs_brachy Monte Carlo simulations: a comparative analysis with Oncentra treatment planning system

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 26, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Purpose This study aims to validate HDR brachytherapy dosimetry for cervical cancer patients utilizing the egs_brachy Monte Carlo (MC) simulation. Methods Three cervical cancer patients treated with 192Ir HDR brachytherapy were included. Dose distributions were calculated by the Oncentra Brachy v4 treatment planning system (TPS) based on AAPM ...

Flower‐Derived Environmental DNA Reveals Community Diversity, Species Abundances and Ecological Interactions in Bee Pollinators

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.
We show that communities of wild bees can be accurately characterized by flower‐derived environmental DNA. eDNA based monitoring recovers relative abundances of individual bee species and provides information on the ecological specificity of different bees on individual plants.

Generalized host‐plant feeding can hide sterol‐specialized foraging behaviors in bee–plant interactions

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Host‐plant selection is a key factor driving the ecology and evolution of insects. While the majority of phytophagous insects is highly host specific, generalist behavior is quite widespread among bees and presumably involves physiological adaptations ...

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 7, Page 1877-1933, July 2025.
Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.
