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.

Missing the biodiversity for the bee: Natural land management strategies impact functional invertebrate diversity in commercial cranberry production

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 265-279, May 2025.
Floral resources were similar between dike and semi‐natural areas while invertebrate richness, diversity, and composition differed. Invertebrate community composition differed based on presence of specific flora. Pollinator abundance was twice as high in the semi‐natural habitat.

Evolution of the Neopsylla hongyangensis Mitogenome: Insights Into the Mitogenomic Evolution of the Orders Siphonaptera and the Phthiraptera

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
The Neopsylla hongyangensis is an important medical insect that transmits plague. We sequenced the mitogenome of N. hongyangensis and constructed a phylogenetic tree for the order Siphonaptera. In addition, we explored the mitogenomic evolution of the orders Siphonaptera and Phthiraptera, which both belong to the class Insects, on warm‐blooded animals ...
