The conservatism of prairie pollinators according to experts and empiricism
We derived ecological conservatism values for prairie pollinators using expert opinion and analysis of remnant fidelity. Expert values were potentially biased and struggled to differentiate between remnant and non‐remnant prairie sites Empirical values showed advantages for pollinator‐based site assessment and prioritization in prairie regions ...

Genetic and phenotypic responses to habitat fragmentation in a European harvester ant
Our work highlights the use of multiple approaches to evaluate species responses to habitat fragmentation. Less allelic richness in habitats with fewer ant nests and reduced heterozygosity with less allelic richness indicated inbreeding; smaller gyne mesosoma size in less connected habitats indicated reduced flight ability.

In other island nations, the establishment of social wasps has had tremendous negative impacts on local biodiversity. The Red wasp Vespula rufa and the Norwegian wasp Dolichovespula norwegica have now been established in Greenland, with unknown impacts on native fauna.

Use of ultrasound to estimate tracheal diameter in unclipped brachycephalic dogs: A pilot study
Abstract Background A significant contributory factor to the brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome index of bulldogs is the diameter of their tracheas. Bulldogs are predisposed to tracheal hypoplasia. A non‐invasive, financially reasonable and widely accessible screening test for tracheal diameter would be useful for assessing the most appropriate

Decision‐support tools for pollinators and pollination in agricultural landscapes: A systematic map
We systematically mapped tools designed to support pollinators and pollination services in agricultural landscapes. Gaps in decision support tools include fewer tools on wild pollinators, limited coverage of drivers of decline, unspecified target users and pollinators, geographical biases and technical skills requirements.

We used direct observations, camera traps, and environmental DNA (eDNA) to identify secondary consumers of sap from wells created by red‐naped (S. nuchalis) and Williamson's (S. thyroideus) sapsuckers among three groups of shrubs and trees in south‐central Colorado, USA.

Light Sensitive Bumblebee Species Are Associated With Forest Habitat and Forest‐Dominated Landscapes
Bumblebee species and bumblebee communities with high light sensitivity are more common and abundant in forest habitats and forested landscapes. Bumblebees with higher light sensitivity tend to forage on plants with greater shade tolerance. Our results suggest that visual adaptations for light sensitivity contribute to shaping bumblebee species ...
