Foraging ecology and conservation of honeybees, bumble bees and solitary bees
, 2021 This thesis contributes to two inter-related fields of research: bee conservation and bee foraging ecology. The first focuses on solitary bee ecology, identifying forage and habitat requirements along with educating the general public on aspects of solitary bee behaviour to aid in the conservation of the studied species.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.Small size solitary bees are often neglected. We successfully sample tiny masked bees with trap nests. We found population living in conventional farm lands are under risk compared to organic farm lands.ABSTRACTOrganic farming has been shown to offer advantages over conventional farming in protecting insect biodiversity, but our overall understanding ...

Long‐distance pollen transport mediated by migratory hoverflies
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.Long‐distance animal migrations shape ecosystems by redistributing nutrients, connecting populations, and mediating ecological interactions. However, the ecological contributions of many abundant insect migrants remain poorly quantified. Hoverflies are among the most numerous migratory insects and highly efficient pollinators, suggesting that their ...

Soil sanctuaries: Experimental manipulations enhance ground‐nesting bee habitat
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract As the evidence of pollinator declines mounts, effective habitat enhancement and management strategies are urgently needed. Current methods focus on improving floral resources, overlooking nesting habitats, especially for ground‐nesting bees.

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.An invasional meltdown can occur when a non‐native species facilitates the spread of another non‐native species in the invaded area, increasing its likelihood of survival or its ecological impact. Plant–pollinator systems pose an exceptional study system to test this concept, which remains poorly known.

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.Shared flowers can facilitate pathogen transmission between managed honey bees and wild bees, yet this process remains poorly understood in ecosystems undergoing rapid environmental change. Using a glacier foreland in Switzerland, we present the first study on how glacier retreat stages and bee life‐history traits influence pathogen occurrence across ...

Foraging energetics reveals late‐summer challenges for pollinators across two British cities
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3200-3212, October 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Foraging bees often work within fine energetic margins, but recent work has shown that foraging conditions can vary markedly across the year. Despite the importance of seasonality for pollinator foraging, most work in this area has relied on indirect approaches. However,
