Role of forest edges and other seminatural linear landscape features in structuring wild bee habitat connectivity in intensively managed landscapes. [PDF]
Abstract Pollinator conservation schemes typically focus on conserving existing, restoring degraded, or creating new wild bee habitats. Their effectiveness depends on dispersal corridors enabling habitat colonization by bees. However, the role of seminatural linear landscape structures (LLS) in connecting pollinator communities across intensively ...

Exploring the importance of aromatic plants' extrafloral volatiles for pollinator attraction. [PDF]
Summary Aromatic plants occur in many plant lineages and have widespread ethnobiological significance. Yet, the ecological significance and evolutionary origins of aromatic volatile emissions remain uncertain. Aromatic emissions have been implicated in defensive interactions but may also have other important functions.

Setting goals for pollinator gardens. [PDF]
Abstract In recent years, declines in animal pollinators have stimulated tremendous interest in pollinator‐friendly gardening. There is a widespread notion that pollinator gardens are beneficial, but the specific capacity of pollinator gardens to improve biodiversity conservation and societal well‐being remains unclear.

Gene Flow and Vertical Stratification of Pollination in the Bat-Pollinated Liana <i>Marcgravia longifolia</i>. [PDF]
This study investigates pollen dispersal, vertical stratification of gene flow, and spatial genetic structure in the bat‐pollinated liana Marcgravia longifolia in a western Amazonian forest. Flowers are produced from the forest floor to the canopy, allowing analysis of pollination across strata.

Integrating data to assess occupancy patterns of an endangered bumble bee. [PDF]
Abstract There is growing interest in integrating community science data with structured monitoring data to estimate changes in distribution patterns of imperiled species, including pollinators. However, significant challenges remain in determining how unstructured community science data should be incorporated into formal analyses of species ...

Superinfection Exclusion in Neotropical Honey Bees May Block DWV-B, an Emerging Infectious Disease Variant of Deformed Wing Virus. [PDF]
ABSTRACT RNA viruses often comprise multiple variants that co‐circulate in a host population, with potentially complex dynamics. Deformed wing virus (DWV), arguably the most impactful virus of honey bees (Apis mellifera), nowadays exists as two major variants, genotypes A (DWV‐A) and B (DWV‐B), which provide an amenable window into the dynamics of ...

Effects of land cover and protected areas on flying insect diversity. [PDF]
Abstract Widespread insect losses are a critical global problem. Mitigating this problem requires identifying the principal drivers across different taxa and determining which insects are covered by protected areas. However, doing so is hindered by missing information on most species owing to extremely high insect diversity and difficulties in ...

Circulación de virus ARN entre diversas especies de polinizadores y no-polinizadores en la Argentina
تم اكتشاف انخفاض في أعداد الحشرات الملقحة في السنوات الأخيرة. وتشمل العوامل المسببة لها مسببات الأمراض، ومن بينها فيروسات الحمض النووي الريبي التي كانت الأكثر بروزًا. يمكن أن تعمل العديد من أنواع الحشرات كمستودعات لهذه الفيروسات، مما يؤدي إلى ظهور أمراض معدية للمضيفين الجدد.
