Shedding light on overlooked pollinators: Global insights into floral interactions of velvet ants (Hymenoptera: Mutillidae and Myrmosidae)

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 4, Page 453-465, May 2025.
Abstract Plant–animal interactions constitute a recurrent and central focus in ecological research, with pollination representing one of its most extensively studied aspects. While certain insect orders have traditionally received considerable attention due to their abundance as flower visitors and their efficiency in pollination, it is undeniable that

Butterflies, bumblebees and hoverflies are equally effective pollinators of Knautia arvensis (Caprifoliaceae), a generalist plant species with compound inflorescences

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 5, Page 685-696, June 2025.
Abstract Plant‐pollinator interactions exist along a continuum from complete specialisation to highly generalised, that may vary in time and space. A long‐held assumption is that large bees are usually the most effective pollinators of generalist plants.

What Are the Phylogenetic Limits to Pollinator Diversity?

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 5, Page 697-703, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Although huge progress has been made over the past 200 years in identifying the diversity of pollinators of angiosperms and other plants, new discoveries continue to be made each year, especially in tropical areas and in the fossil record. In this perspective article I address the following questions: Just how diverse are the pollinators and ...

From Stream to Bloom: Exploring the Potential Role of Aquatic Insects for Pollination in Wetland Environments

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 5, Page 711-724, June 2025.
ABSTRACT The substantial loss of insects we are experiencing today has been highlighted all over the world. There is a growing concern about the global decline of pollinators and its impact on terrestrial and agricultural ecosystems, but the focus of scientists towards bees remains the rule.
