Analysis of the Diversity of Megachilidae Bees on the Northern Subplateau of the Iberian Peninsula [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Insect Science, 2010
In the western Mediterranean, 772 species of bees in the family Megachilidae have been reported. Special emphasis has been placed on the Iberian Peninsula, where to date 218 species are known. However, few intensive studies providing information about communities of Megachilidae have been carried out. Two earlier works cite 70 species; almost one third

Pollination in a fire‐prone world: Reduced solar radiation and warming alter plant–pollinator interactions

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 8, Page 2111-2122, August 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change can disrupt ecosystem services such as pollination. Warming increases the frequency and scale of wildfires, leading to smoke‐induced reductions in incident solar radiation, which together may affect plants, pollinators and their interactions. To determine

Evaluating eDNA Metabarcoding Techniques for Pollinator Community Assessment in a Field and Controlled Experiment

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
This study evaluates the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding on flowers to detect pollinator species and compares it with traditional visual sampling methods. Findings show that while eDNA complements conventional techniques in monitoring pollinators, it cannot fully replace them, highlighting the need for integrated approaches.

Climate explains global functional trait variation in bees

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 7, Page 1748-1760, July 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate is a fundamental driver of macroecological patterns in functional trait variation. However, many of the traits that have outsized effects on thermal performance are complex, multi‐dimensional, and challenging to quantify at scale.
