Morphological trends in the molars of fossil rodents from the Fayum Depression, Egypt [PDF]
, 2007 While many of the mammalian taxa from the Fayum of Egypt, such as the primates and hyraxes, have been well-studied, little is known about the rodents. Species described to date have all been referred to the endemic family Phiomyidae. Many rodent species

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 2, February 2025.ABSTRACT Aim The functional diversity of bees contribute to the maintenance of plant biodiversity because different species of wild bees prefer and pollinate different plants. Many bees, in particular species with narrow flower preferences or specialised habitat requirements, are threatened by landscape homogenisation and climate change.

Diet characterisation of solitary bees on farmland: dietary specialisation predicts rarity [PDF]
, 2016 Changes in agricultural practice across Europe and North America have been associated with declines in wild bee populations. Bee diet breadth has been associated with sensitivity to agricultural intensification, but much of this analysis has been ...

Bee Diversity and Abundance During Peach Bloom in South Carolina, United States
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 1, Page 23-35, February 2025.ABSTRACT Peach (Prunus persica [L.] Batsch) is an important speciality fruit crop in the United States. Peach is self‐compatible, but bee pollination enhances fruit sets and diverse populations improve pollination efficiency. However, the bee diversity and abundance in peach orchards in South Carolina are unknown.

Variation in flower morphology associated with higher bee diversity in urban green spaces
Ecological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2025.Abstract Urbanization is a leading threat to biodiversity, but scientifically informed management of urban ecosystems can mitigate negative impacts. For wild bees, which are declining worldwide, careful consideration of flower choice in public and private green spaces could help preserve their diversity.
