Foraging ranges of solitary bees

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2002
Summary Habitat requirements of solitary bees include nesting sites, food resources and nesting material. We used translocation experiments to establish foraging distances and measured foraging trip duration to analyse how solitary bees cope with the distance between nesting sites and suitable food plants in different habitat types.

Conservation of solitary bees in power-line clearings: Sustained increase in habitat quality through woody debris removal

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Declining populations of wild pollinators have increased the interest in the management of human-modified landscapes for pollinator conservation. Modified landscape features, such as power-line clearings, may provide valuable habitats with increased ...

Wild solitary bees and their use of bee hotels in southwest Spain

Journal of Apicultural Research, 2021
There is an increasing interest in preserving and, if possible, increasing wild bee populations as evidenced by increasinginvestigations into providing supplemental nesting resources, commonly called bee hotels. The study presented herewas carried out in 2017 and 2018 with two objectives: a) to understand the role that insect refuges could have ...

Advancing the Design of High‐Efficiency Printable Hole‐Conductor‐Free Mesoscopic Perovskite Solar Cells Through Machine Learning

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Based on the largest printable mesoscopic perovskite solar cells database we established, stacking model achieved precise PCE prediction (R2 = 0.73, MAE = 2.18%). Multiple experiments verified the accuracy of the model, which guided the fabrication of high‐PCE devices with an efficiency of 19.36%.

First Recombinant Expression, Purification, and Film Formation of a Single Solitary Bee Silk Protein from Osmia lignaria

SynBio
Solitary bees account for most described bee species worldwide, with many spinning silk fibers to form protective cocoons during development; however, solitary bee silk proteins remain largely unexplored in recombinant systems and biomaterial fabrication.

Mitigating the Effects of Habitat Loss on Solitary Bees in Agricultural Ecosystems

Agriculture, 2020
Solitary bees and other wild pollinators provide an important ecosystem service which can benefit both the agricultural economy and the sustainability of many native ecosystems. Many solitary bees, however, are experiencing decreases in their populations

Desynchronizations in bee–plant interactions cause severe fitness losses in solitary bees [PDF]

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2017
Abstract Global warming can disrupt mutualistic interactions between solitary bees and plants when increasing temperature differentially changes the timing of interacting partners. One possible scenario is for insect phenology to advance more rapidly than plant phenology.

Stability of PEA2PbBr4 Thin‐Film Photodetectors under Thermal and Moisture Stress

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates the environmental durability of 2D perovskite photodetectors under extreme heat and humidity. While pristine films degrade in harsh environmental conditions, adding a halogen‐bonding agent significantly improves stability. This passivated device maintains stable performance in conditions mimicking space and solar applications ...

Wild Bee Pollen Diets Reveal Patterns of Seasonal Foraging Resources for Honey Bees

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Western honey bees (Apis mellifera) are dominant crop pollinators, and access to summer forage is a critical factor influencing colony health in agricultural landscapes.
