Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...

Effect of a prescribed burn on density of the weed Chrysanthemoides monilifera ssp. monilifera (boneseed) and native orchid taxa in a South Australian Conservation Park

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
The comparison of a prescribed burnt site and adjacent unburnt site at Morialta Conservation Park in South Australia showed mass germination and increased density of the weed boneseed (Chrysanthemoides monilifera ssp. monilifera) in the burnt site, and lower density of the “fire orchid” Pyrorchis nigricans.

Metabarcoding of Pollen Carried by Syrphids Reveals Novel Plant–Pollinator Interactions in a Protected Natural Area and Agricultural Sites

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Using DNA metabarcoding, this study investigates pollen transported by syrphids (Syrphidae) in the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park and agricultural sites in Northern Italy. The analysis reveals a high diversity of visited plant taxa, including previously undocumented plant–pollinator interactions.

Urban Landscape Influence Orchid Bee Diversity in a Tropical Megacity

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing urbanization has affected pollinator communities, such as Euglossini bees, which play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity through the pollination of numerous plants. However, the impact of different levels of urbanization on the diversity of these bees is still not fully understood, especially in large tropical urban ...

The unique mouse pollination in an orchid species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The Chinese orchid, _Cymbidium serratum_, is pollinated by the wild mountain mouse _Rattus fulvescens_. The flowers use both odor and colour as attractants, and provide labellum as food reward for the pollinators.

Harnessing the benefits of herbarium specimen digitisation for inferring recent and ongoing plant extinctions

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Evidence for the ongoing biodiversity crisis rests on assessment of a small fraction of described species, with major knowledge gaps for most organisms, including plants. Here, we highlight how digitised herbarium specimens can be used to accelerate and improve estimates of recent and ongoing plant extinctions.

Phenylalanine 15N enrichment likely indicates fungal‐derived organic nutrient acquisition in mycoheterotrophic plants across fungal guilds

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Beyond fully mycoheterotrophic plants, many green plants may also obtain carbon from fungal partners. However, bulk stable isotope analyses often lack sufficient resolution in arbuscular mycorrhizal and rhizoctonia‐associated orchid systems, limiting inference of fungal‐derived organic nutrient acquisition.
