Trends in Pollination Scientists' Research: A Comprehensive Analysis in Citations and Research Topics

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
Pollination ecology has garnered increasing attention due to its fundamental role in biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services. However, a lack of understanding regarding evolving trends and research shifts poses challenges for addressing emerging ecological questions. Our analysis encompasses the contributions of 223 prominent scientists in the

Answering key bumble bee conservation questions by studying discovered wild nests: A Bombus affinis case study

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 303-318, May 2025.
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 ...

Potential expanded pollinator distributions in North America under future climate

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 2, April–June 2025.
Most pollinator species, including monarch butterflies, may gain potential climate space in the future. Shifting to new locations is an additional challenge of climate change. Management, restoration and citizen participation to provide resources and reduce stressors are ecological solutions.

The smell of infection: Disease surveillance in insects using volatile organic compounds

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 81-89, February 2025.
Abstract Insects play crucial roles in nearly every ecosystem and provide a wide array of ecosystem services. However, both managed and wild insect populations face threats from parasites and pathogens, which require surveillance to mitigate. Current infectious disease surveillance methods for insects often involve invasive, time‐consuming and ...
