Thermal Tolerance in the Cellophane Bee Colletes inaequalis Reflects Early Spring Adaptation and Is Independent of Body Size and Sex

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
The 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.

Dung beetles, but not rodents, contribute to brown bear feces removal, disaggregation, and secondary seed dispersal

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Seed dispersal by endozoochory is essential to plant dynamics, but once released in the feces, the seeds face a hostile environment that is not always favorable to germination. Indeed, feces may contain inhibitors, have high seed density, and be densely structured.

Prey and prejudice: predation by the European bee‐eater Merops apiaster has species‐specific effects on the ecology and genetics of bumblebees

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2025, Issue 8, August 2025.
Predation is a major ecological force, but its effect on bees has rarely been studied. Here, we investigated whether the presence of the European bee‐eater Merops apiaster, a migratory bird species and major bee predator, decreases the abundance and body size of three common bumblebee species (Bombus lapidarius, B. terrestris and B.
