Insect–flower interactions, ecosystem functions, and restoration ecology in the northern Sahel: current knowledge and perspectives

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 2, Page 969-995, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Actions for ecological restoration under the Great Green Wall (GGW) initiative in the northern Sahel have been plant focused, paying scant attention to plant–animal interactions that are essential to ecosystem functioning. Calls to accelerate implementation of the GGW make it timely to develop a more solid conceptual foundation for restoration

Avaliação ecológica rápida da fauna de vespas (Hymenoptera: Aculeata) do Parque Nacional da Serra do Divisor, Acre, Brasil Rapid ecological assessment of wasp fauna (Hymenoptera: Aculeata) of the Serra do Divisor National Park, Acre, Brazil

Acta Amazonica, 2008
O Parque Nacional da Serra do Divisor (PNSD), localizado a noroeste do Estado do Acre, é considerado uma das áreas de maior diversidade da Amazônia. A importância de se considerar insetos em programas de conservação tem sido muito enfatizada.

Evolving perspectives in Hymenoptera systematics: Bridging fossils and genomes across time

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 1-31, January 2025.
Advances in sequencing and phylogenomic methods reveal unresolved deep phylogenetic nodes with variable age estimates in Hymenoptera, including, for example, Eusymphyta and Proctotrupomorpha. Conflicting morphological and molecular data hinder consensus in Hymenoptera systematics.

The role of wild bees and cavity‐nesting wasps as ecological indicators of the last traditionally managed meadows in Eastern Europe

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.
The role of wild bees and cavity‐nesting Hymenopteran species as indicators was examined, along the unique combination of high nature value and traditional land use habitats. The different taxonomic groups of wild bees and cavity‐nesting Hymenopterans showed differences in their habitat affinities.

Multi‐method approach to assessing the floral‐visiting insect assemblage of rare, ambophilous plant Baccharis vanessae in Southern California

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.
In this study, we compare the accuracy of two different methods of monitoring to assess the insect assemblage of Encinitas Baccharis (Baccharis vanessae): focal observations and video recordings from camera traps. The insect vectors identified were as expected given B. vanessae pollination syndrome.

El género Solierella en las Antillas (Hymenoptera: Apoidea, Crabronidae)

Novitates Caribaea, 2021
El género Solierella comprende avispas depredadoras de pequeño a mediano tamaño, las cuales no han sido debidamente estudiadas en el Neotrópico. En este trabajo se revisa el género para las Antillas, con la adición de una especie nueva: S. garridoi para la Hispaniola (República Dominicana), la cual constituye el primer registro del género para la isla.

A teratological case in antenna of Nysson tridens Gerstäcker, 1867 (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae)

Acta Biologica Sibirica
A case of asymmetry and hypertrophy on the right antenna in the kleptoparasite wasp Nysson tridens Gerstaecker, 1867 is described from Russia. This is the first antennal teratology in the family Crabronidae (Hymenoptera).

Insights from the first phylogenomic analysis of flat wasps (Hymenoptera, Bethylidae) reveal two new subfamilies

Cladistics, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 510-525, October 2024.
Abstract Despite significant advances in alpha level taxonomy in the past few decades, the higher‐level phylogeny of flat wasps (Hymenoptera, Bethylidae) remains poorly explored. Herein we provide the first phylogenomic assessment of the family based on data from ultraconserved elements for 96 species in 61 genera of the family, with material from 29 ...

Vertebrate grazing can mitigate impacts of nutrient addition on plant diversity and insect abundance in a semi‐natural grassland

Oikos, Volume 2024, Issue 9, September 2024.
Human‐induced nutrient eutrophication is a major threat to grassland biodiversity, because it promotes the dominance of fast‐growing plants. Negative impacts of fertilization on plant biodiversity may be offset by grazing by large vertebrate herbivores.

Debunking wasp pollination: Wasps are comparable to bees in terms of plant interactions, body pollen and single‐visit pollen deposition

Ecological Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 569-584, August 2024.
We challenged historical assumptions by comparing bees and wasps by (1) their role in a community, (2) body pollen carriage and (3) single‐visit deposition on the plant species complex Solidago canadensis. We found bees and wasps (1) overall visit different plant communities, (2) have comparable body pollen carriage in some families and (3) deposit ...
