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 ...

Scientific American, 1984 For most people the beehive and the intricate social organization of the honeybees that populate it are the hallmark of bee life. In reality more than 85 percent of the some 20,000 bee species are not social but solitary. Each female independently mates, makes her own nest of about 10 brood cells, stocks the cells with food for the young, lays an egg ...

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 ...

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.

SynBioSolitary 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.

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.

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...
