Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 1037-1052, November 2025.We collected ground‐nesting bees at 35 farms over two summers and assessed their abundance, diversity, and community composition in relation to local soil characteristics (texture, compaction, slope, and ground cover). Ground‐nesting bee abundance and species richness increased with bare ground and sand content.

24 million years of pollination interaction between European linden flowers and bumble bees
New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 4, Page 2111-2127, November 2025.Summary Pollination is the most common insect–plant mutualism, binding them in a co‐evolutionary framework. Historic evidence of this interaction can be partly inferred from time‐calibrated molecular phylogenies of plant and insect lineages or directly from fossils.

Evaluating the SPRING pollinator monitoring methods in Flanders (Belgium)
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.This study evaluated six methods for monitoring wild bees and hoverflies in Flanders, showing that pan traps were most effective for bees, while combining pan traps and transect walks best captured hoverfly diversity. Trap height, UV reflectance and seasonal variation strongly influenced sampling outcomes, highlighting the need for protocol refinement ...

Exploring the importance of aromatic plants' extrafloral volatiles for pollinator attraction
New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 2, Page 517-528, October 2025.Summary Aromatic plants occur in many plant lineages and have widespread ethnobiological significance. Yet, the ecological significance and evolutionary origins of aromatic volatile emissions remain uncertain. Aromatic emissions have been implicated in defensive interactions but may also have other important functions.

American Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 9, September 2025.Abstract Premise Polyploidy is key to plant evolution by contributing to speciation, diversification, and adaptability. However, the minority cytotype exclusion effect can limit the persistence of polyploids, which can be mitigated by reproductive barriers such as distinct insect visitation between cytotypes. In eastern Spain, the diploid C.

Ecological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 6, September 2025.Abstract High‐intensity farming can lead to non‐random local extinctions and functional filtering of pollinating insect assemblages, disproportionately harming species with certain traits. This process can ultimately reshape pollinator–plant interaction networks in predictable, consistent manners, although this pathway remains largely unexplored. Here,
