Incidental pollination by passing animals: An overlooked mechanism?
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 1245-1250, September 2025.The conservation of pollinators is essential for sustaining the ecosystem services of pollen transfer, which support crop production, biodiversity conservation and ecosystem health. While primary pollinators have been the focus of most conservation efforts, subordinate or incidental pollinators have been largely overlooked.

A hypothesis to explain accuracy of wasp resemblances
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 73-81, January 2017., 2017 We suggest that “wasp mimicry” is not only Müllerian and Batesian mimicry driven by learning predators but, additionally, as vespid wasps are also potential predators of their mimics, the latter simulate their own predators. Social wasps are thus selecting agents responsible for superaccurate resemblance within the large fidelity spectrum exhibited in ...

Evolving perspectives in Hymenoptera systematics: Bridging fossils and genomes across time
Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 1-31, January 2025.Advances in sequencing and phylogenomic methods reveal unresolved deep phylogenetic nodes with variable age estimates in Hymenoptera, including, for example, Eusymphyta and Proctotrupomorpha. Conflicting morphological and molecular data hinder consensus in Hymenoptera systematics.
