Role of forest edges and other seminatural linear landscape features in structuring wild bee habitat connectivity in intensively managed landscapes. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Pollinator conservation schemes typically focus on conserving existing, restoring degraded, or creating new wild bee habitats. Their effectiveness depends on dispersal corridors enabling habitat colonization by bees. However, the role of seminatural linear landscape structures (LLS) in connecting pollinator communities across intensively ...

Thermal Tolerance in the Cellophane Bee <i>Colletes inaequalis</i> Reflects Early Spring Adaptation and Is Independent of Body Size and Sex. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe cellophane bee, Colletes inaequalis, is a ground‐nesting, solitary species and key pollinator of spring plants. Our study shows it is thermally adapted to early spring conditions, with similar thermal traits in males and females despite differences in body size and emergence timing.

To provide pollinator nesting habitat, cut dead perennial stems in their first winter
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Garden management practises need to consider stem‐nesting bees and wasps to avoid destroying active nests and important nesting materials. Volunteers collected samples of dead stems (in situ where they grew) in winter, spring, summer and fall as part of a participatory research project.

Concentrated vulnerabilities in bees: Diet specialists have smaller geographic ranges
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Niche breadth theory predicts a positive association between range size and diet breadth, which could concentrate risk among specialists, but this is not well established for bees. Using global occurrence data (range size) and natural history collection‐derived pollen data (diet breadth), we compared these traits in 633 species from six families and ...
