The information learned from discovered wild bumble bee nests can be of great conservation value if studied in situ and post‐season excavation in a standardised way. We provide standardised guidance to follow when nest discoveries arise, including key conservation questions and methodological guidelines to study behaviour, floral use, genetics, body ...

Abstract Gregarine apicomplexans are ubiquitous endosymbionts of invertebrate hosts. Despite their ecological and evolutionary importance, inferences about the phylogenetic relationships of major gregarine groups, such as the Lecudinidae and Urosporidae, have been hindered by vague taxonomic definitions and limited molecular and morphological data.

Landscape features can affect pollinators directly through the provision of food resources and indirectly through modulation of parasite prevalence. To promote honeybee colony health in agro‐ecosystems, our results suggest that organic agriculture and annual flower strips should be prioritized conservation measures. Landscape management should consider

Abstract Freshwater bivalves play key ecological roles in lakes and rivers, largely contributing to healthy ecosystems. The freshwater pearl mussel, Margaritifera margaritifera, is found in Europe and on the East coast of North America. Once common in oxygenated streams, M.

Lipid reserves and immune defense in healthy and diseased migrating monarchs Danaus plexippus
Recent studies suggest that the energetic demands of long-distance migration might lower the pool of resources available for costly immune defenses. Moreover, migration could amplify the costs of parasitism if animals suffering from parasite-induced ...

Abstract Understanding how working landscapes can maintain viable wildlife populations is key to evaluating their conservation potential. We assessed the potential of intensively managed conifer forests for supporting healthy, productive bee populations in one of the major timber‐growing regions of the world, the Pacific Northwest.

Chrysomela populi L. (Coleoptera; Chrysomelidae) is one of the most serious pests affecting poplars. Chemical control is the most widely known suppressive method against this pest. This method is not acceptable in urban forests because of their proximity to people.

A New Neogregarine Pathogen Of Rhizophagus Grandis (Coleoptera: Monotomidae)
Here we provide the first description of a natural infection of members of the beetle family Monotomidae with neogregarines and specifically the first finding of such a pathogen in the predatory beetle Rhizophagus grandis. The fat body of the beetle is the site of infection, and the typical navicular oocysts are 11.87 +/- 0.67 pm in length and 6.96 +/-
