Eusocial bee species are exposed to different toxic element profiles despite foraging within the same landscape

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Bombus terrestris and Apis mellifera colonies sharing the same landscape (<50 m from each other) collected pollen with significantly different heavy metal concentrations. B. terrestris‐collected pollen contained 2–7× higher concentrations of arsenic, chromium, cobalt, lead and tin than A. mellifera‐collected pollen.

Why we Should Study Solitary Species to Understand the Costs of Group‐Living

Ethology, EarlyView.
It's easier to measure the benefits than the costs of a trait. Solitary species benefit by avoiding the costs of group living. Thus, measuring benefits of solitary living informs us about the costs of group living. ABSTRACT While for decades behavioral ecologists have studied the benefits of group living, measuring its costs has been more difficult. It

Seasonality and plasticity in the use of native and introduced plant resources by a large forest parrot

Ibis, EarlyView.
Human‐induced environmental change is reshaping plant communities, requiring native animals to adapt their foraging behaviour to track and exploit novel food resources. Trees such as pines (Pinus spp.) introduced for plantation forestry outside of their native ranges often become naturalized.

Sheep and cattle grazing regimes differentially affect ground beetle and ant communities in Mediterranean cork oak woodlands

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Sheep and cattle grazing significantly shape ant and ground beetle species composition in Mediterranean cork oak woodlands, promoting higher diversity by increasing habitat heterogeneity. Ground beetles and ants reflect changes in grazing regimes, with sheep‐grazed areas showing the highest diversity, highlighting their utility in ecosystem monitoring.

Regenerative wheat management: The relative effects of farm practices on the biodiversity of invertebrates

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Wheat in North America harbours a diverse insect community (565 morphospecies were identified in this study), and pests represented <7% of specimens collected. Regenerative wheat management promoted insect diversity without increasing pest populations.
