Food resources are more important than nesting resources for explaining wild bee diversity in urban gardens Nahrungsressourcen haben einen größeren Einfluss auf die Wildbienendiversität in urbanen Gärten als das Nistangebot

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Urban community gardens showed a high wild bee diversity with 168 recorded species, representing roughly 30% of Germany's wild bees, including threatened species like Osmia mitis and Coelioxys lanceolata. Floral resources, not nesting resources or habitat availability, were the main drivers for wild bee taxonomic and functional diversity.

Assessment of Small‐Scale Laboratory Rearing Systems for Frankliniella occidentalis (Western Flower Thrips) Using a Single Female

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reliable laboratory rearing of Frankliniella occidentalis is critical for experimental consistency in entomological research. This study validates and optimises three small‐scale rearing systems initiated from a single female thrips using various organic fruits, flowers and pollen as feed, along with moist cotton, blotting paper and ...

Floral Trait Influence on the Foraging Decisions of a Fly Pollinator

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flies foraging for floral resources provide important ecosystem services through the pollination of myriad angiosperms, including many crop species. However, the specific floral cues used by fly pollinators to locate and discriminate among floral rewards and the preferences they may have for specific cues remain poorly understood.

Flowering Plant Species Differ in Their Suitability for Orius strigicollis (Poppius): Effects on Plant Preference, Longevity and Oviposition Under Laboratory Conditions

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flowering plant species can support pest control by providing resources for natural enemies. Polyphagous predatory species of the genus Orius occur in many parts of the world and are widely used as biological control agents. They feed on several common pest species and can additionally utilize plant resources such as nectar and pollen.

Genetic, phenotypic, and ecological differentiation indicate a new cryptic and threatened species in the orchid genus Epidendrum from Alcatrazes Island, southeastern Brazil

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Epidendrum insularis occurs on the remote Alcatrazes Island in the southeastern Brazilian coast. The description of this new cryptic species was only possible by the joint use of molecular markers, reproductive experiments, flower morphometry, functional traits, and community analysis.

Intraspecific variation in an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus affects a plant and an AMF community

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Mesocosm placement within the growing facility. Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) show substantial genetic, trait, and functional variation within species. Whether this intraspecific variability has community‐level consequences for plant and AMF communities is unclear.

Floral bilateral symmetry: one axis, many details

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Dorsal petal morphological diversity among monkeyflower species. Summary Symmetry is a major component of floral diversity. Most flowers are radially or bilaterally symmetric, with bilateral symmetry (monosymmetry) having evolved repeatedly from radial ancestors. Since the identification of the dorsal identity gene CYCLOIDEA (CYC) in snapdragon, floral

Root hairs and mycorrhiza represent alternative phylogenetically conserved strategies for belowground absorptive surface maximization

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
The phylogenetically conserved trade‐off between the investment in root hairs and mycorrhization formation. Summary Plants take up nutrients from the soil while investing in absorptive root surface or mycorrhizal partners. Root hairs – a major structure for nutrient uptake and cheap to build – increase the absorptive root surface.

Evolutionary shifts to gynomonoecy correlate with changes in capitulum architecture in South African Helichrysum (Asteraceae)

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Representative South African Helichrysum species illustrating variation in capitulum size. Summary Gynomonoecy has evolved repeatedly in Asteraceae, suggesting selective advantages for species whose capitula combine pistillate and bisexual flowers. Theories invoking conspicuous peripheral flowers and achene heteromorphism do not account for gynomonoecy
