Impacts of a fungicide and an insecticide on pollinator visitation and wildflower fitness
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pesticide use has become widespread around the globe, and mounting evidence has demonstrated health impacts on non‐target insects such as bees. However, less is known about whether the presence of these chemicals in plant tissue can alter interactions between plants ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Campanula flowers (Campanulaceae) are visited by generalist and specialist bees of different families. While generalists rely on common volatiles within the floral scent of Campanula, specialist Megachilidae mainly use unusual spiroacetals for host flower recognition ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.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

The Bees of A.L. Mangham Jr. Regional Airport, Nacogdoches, Texas [PDF]
, 2017 The United States is home to about 4,000 species of native bees, and many are critically important due to the pollination services they provide (Buchman & Nabhan 1996). Most of these are inconspicuous, solitary bees that nest in the ground.

Ten Bee Species New to Green Roofs in the Chicago Area [PDF]
, 2018 Green roofs increasingly provide habitat for many insects in urban environments. Pollinators such as bees may utilize foraging and nesting resources provided by green roofs but few studies have documented which species occur in these novel habitats. This

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*
Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.

Floral strips increase the abundance and spillover of beneficial insects in rotational crop fields
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Abstract Insects provide many ecological functions that support agricultural production, but beneficial insect populations are often lower in areas of intensive agriculture. Agronomic practices that support beneficial insect populations are important for sustainable crop production.
