Promoting Forage Legume–Pollinator Interactions: Integrating Crop Pollination Management, Native Beekeeping and Silvopastoral Systems in Tropical Latin America

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021
Major declines of insect pollinators are a worldwide concern. Such losses threaten human food supplies and ecosystem functions. Monocultures of pastures used to feed cattle are among the drivers of insect pollinator declines in Tropical Latin America ...

Climate Change Effect on <i>Haematoxylum campechianum</i> and <i>Haematoxylum calakmulense</i> (Fabaceae): Are We Losing Our Natural Heritage in South-Eastern Mexico? [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Climate change threatens biodiversity and the balance of ecosystems, specifically in key species. It seems that Haematoxylum calakmulense will lose more suitable areas than Haematoxylum campehianum in the future. Our results should be considered in current and future reforestation plans to improve their efficiency.

Pollination ecology in the tropical Andes: moving towards a cross-scale approach. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT Plant–pollinator interactions structure ecological communities and represent a key component of ecosystem functioning. Pollination networks are expected to be more diverse and specialised in the tropics, but pollination ecology in these regions has been understudied in comparison to other areas.

Stingless bees (Apidae: Meliponini) at risk in western Mexico

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 829-838, July 2022., 2022
We found a total of 14 stingless bee species, including two new records for the region. We identified three types of bee assemblages: one in hot lowland climates with tropical dry forest vegetation, one in temperate highland climates with mixed oak‐pine forest vegetation, and one in the warm ecotone with mixed subdeciduous forest vegetation between the
