Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecosystem services provide essential benefits to human survival and well‐being. Animal behaviour is central to the delivery of many ecosystem services, yet we know little about how behaviour drives services' provision.

Foraging energetics reveals late‐summer challenges for pollinators across two British cities
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Foraging bees often work within fine energetic margins, but recent work has shown that foraging conditions can vary markedly across the year. Despite the importance of seasonality for pollinator foraging, most work in this area has relied on indirect approaches. However,

Environmental analysis of conservationally significant Eumerus and Platycheirus species (Diptera: Syrphidae) in Serbia [PDF]
Zbornik Matice Srpske za Prirodne Nauke, 2018 Due to raising environmental pressures, the number of species exposed to risk of extinction is also increasing. One of the first steps in species preservation is their legal protection. However, it is impossible to protect all species, therefore,

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.In this paper, we show that pronounced differences in pollinator communities exist between grasslands embedded in contrasting agricultural landscape contexts. Opportunistic foraging strategies of most pollinators resulted in large interaction turnover, but these shifts did not translate into major changes in overall network structure, most likely as a ...

Insect Science, EarlyView.The mutualism between Tapinoma ibericum ants and Aphis gossypii disrupts the biological control exerted by Aphidius colemani in greenhouse peppers. Ant exclusion increased parasitism and the presence of most natural enemies, although Aphidoletes aphidimyza was more abundant with ants.
