Landscape influence on pollinator population genetic connectivity
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 285-302, May 2025.We analysed 113 studies from 59 countries, covering 96 bee and 21 hoverfly species, to review the evidence of environmental and landscape effects on the population genetic connectivity in pollinators. Environmental conditions (precipitation and temperature), topography (elevation and sea), and land use (agriculture, deforestation, urbanisation) were ...

Host‐Cleptoparasite Biogeographical Congruence Through Time: The Case of Cuckoo Oil Bees
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 5, May 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Insect brood parasites (i.e., cleptoparasites), like cuckoo bees, typically attack hosts within specific lineages, but seem to be less constrained by the biogeographical movements of their hosts compared to obligate parasites. Cuckoo bees depend on stable host populations, being particularly sensitive to environmental changes and thus ...

Gonads and gametogenesis in Chaetodactylus osmiae (Acariformes: Astigmata: Chaetodactylidae) a parasite of solitary bees [PDF]
, 2018 International audienceChaetodactylus osmiae (Dufour, 1839) is a mite parasitizing the solitary bee - Osmia rufa L.- used as a commercial pollinator. In this study we present the anatomy of female and male reproductive systems of this species as well as ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 4, Page 524-535, May 2025.ABSTRACT Managed crop pollination strongly relies on the honeybee Apis mellifera and the bumblebee Bombus terrestris, which is risky, may impact wild pollinator communities and does not always give the best pollination outcomes. The mason bees Osmia cornuta and Osmia bicornis are increasingly used as alternative crop pollinators, but it is not clear ...
