Parasitism of \u3ci\u3eAncistrocerus Antilope\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Eumenidae) by Leucospis Affinis (Hymenoptera: Leucospididae) [PDF]
The chalcid wasp Leucospis affinis has been known to parasitize only megachilid bees. Its rare occurrence as a parasite of the eumenid wasp Ancistrocerus antilope indicates that eumenid wasps may be a large resource this chalcid is not ...

Towards transparent and replicable flower selection in agricultural flower strips
Abstract Flower strips are increasingly employed as ecologically sustainable methods for attracting beneficial insects to agricultural landscapes. Since flowers differ substantially in an array of characteristics including morphology, nutritional content, and phenology, selecting “the right flowers for the right job” requires the designer to make ...

Differential effects of agricultural expansion on wild bee taxonomic and functional diversity
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pollinators, especially bees, are in global decline, threatening biodiversity and food security. While intensive agriculture is a primary driver, its impact on bee functional diversity—particularly in the diverse Mediterranean region—remains understudied.

Collectively, these findings indicate that agri‐environment schemes aiming to support solitary bees should integrate the provision of nesting resources with proximity to floral resources. The heterogeneity among studies highlights the need for solitary bee conservation measures to be tailored to local conditions and to the local fauna.

Separating Sampling Bias From Abundance Shows That Different Methods Catch Different Wild Bees
Comparing community sampling methods' relative taxonomic biases is critical to interpreting the data they collect, but measuring bias explicitly is difficult when methods also produce different sample sizes. Here, we control for absolute abundance while comparing sample composition and richness of three common methods for sampling wild bee communities.
