Environmental 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
Functional 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.

Impacts of a fungicide and an insecticide on pollinator visitation and wildflower fitness
Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 7, Page 1815-1825, July 2025.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 ...

A nesting aggregation of the solitary bee Megachile atrata (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) in the Philippines [PDF]
, 2017 A nesting aggregation of Megachile (Creightonella) atrata Smith in the Philippines comprised almost 300 active nests. The bees in rapid flight resemble the hornet Vespa tropica Linnaeus. The nest structure is similar to that reported for M.

Revision of the rare anthidiine bee genus Rhynostelis Moure & Urban (Hymenoptera, Apidae)
Revista Brasileira de EntomologiaThe bee genus Rhynostelis Moure & Urban, a cleptoparasite taxon restricted to the Neotropical Region, was previously known from a single species. In the present work, the genus is revised, with three species recognized, of which two are described as new:

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 7, Page 1786-1798, July 2025.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 ...

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*
Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 7, Page 1877-1933, July 2025.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.
