Tropical Biome Switching: Ant Communities Transition From Savanna to Rainforest Following Cessation of Burning

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Savannas and rainforests co‐occur as mosaics across large areas of the tropics. These mosaics are dynamic, with savanna and rainforest switching in relatively short time scales, largely through the effects of fire. Most research to date addresses such biome switching through the lens of vegetation, with little attention given to faunal ...

Ensuring Pollinator Presence in Expanding Oil Crops: The Case of Mystrops debilis (Nitidulidae) and the Macauba Palm (Acrocomia aculeata, Arecaceae)

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The macauba palm (Acrocomia aculeata, Arecaceae) is a Neotropical native oil palm, increasingly important in Central and South America due to rising demand for raw materials and its potential for bioenergy. Understanding its pollinator ecology is crucial to identify new areas for cultivation. This study examines the structure of floral visitor

Beyond Deception: What Else Do Flower Wasps (Hymenoptera: Thynnidae: Thynninae) Do in Flowers Worldwide?

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wasps, although less recognised as good pollinators, also feed on nectar and pollinate flowers. Specialised pollination systems, such as orchids that mimic the pheromones of female wasps to attract males, are complex and specific. This interaction occurs with some Thyninnae wasps that also visit flowers to obtain nectar and perform other ...
