Potential expanded pollinator distributions in North America under future climate
Ecological 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.

Bee‐Mediated Pollen Transport Across Five Urban Landscape Features: Buildings Are Important Barriers
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.Urban landscape features may disrupt or facilitate the foraging movements of insect pollinators; for example, bees are more likely to move along roads than across them. Here, we investigated not only roads but also lawns, gardens, forests, and buildings by measuring the transfer of fluorescent dye between flowering plants separated by each feature ...

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

Nestmate recognition in social insects: overcoming physiological constraints with collective decision making. [PDF]
, 2010 Social insects rank among the most abundant and influential terrestrial organisms. The key to their success is their ability to form tightly knit social groups that perform work cooperatively, and effectively exclude non-members from the colony.

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, January 2025.This article provides insight into the trophic strategy of a little‐known top predator and allows for a better understanding of the selective pressures that shape its diet. We studied the diet of European honey‐buzzards, a raptor specialized in consuming social wasp brood.
