Hand pollination to increase seed-set of red helleborine Cephalanthera rubra in the Chiltern Hills, Buckinghamshire, England [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In 2007 and in previous years, as part of ongoing attempts to improve red helleborine Cephalanthera rubra seed-set, hand pollination of florets has been undertaken at a small colony of this species in Buckinghamshire, southern England.

The Role of Landscapes and Landmarks in Bee Navigation: A Review. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The ability of animals to explore landmarks in their environment is essential to their fitness. Landmarks are widely recognized to play a key role in navigation by providing information in multiple sensory modalities. However, what is a landmark?

Shared leadership can promote success in collaborative research networks in ecology

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract While collaborative science is becoming the norm in ecology, many ecologists participating in collaborations are less aware of the body of research that studies the processes by which collaborative teams organize and communicate.

Think globally, breed locally: Limited genetic impact of management in solitary bees ( Osmia bicornis and Osmia cornuta )

open access: hybridJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.
The data suggest that the release of locally reared Osmia spp. is unlikely to interfere with the genetic structure of wild conspecifics. This contrasts with bumblebees, where the use of non‐local colonies has led to genetic introgression with local conspecific populations.

The Bees of A.L. Mangham Jr. Regional Airport, Nacogdoches, Texas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The United States is home to about 4,000 species of native bees, and many are critically important due to the pollination services they provide (Buchman & Nabhan 1996). Most of these are inconspicuous, solitary bees that nest in the ground.

Bandwagon effects in a floral market: Early pollinator acquisition offsets colour disadvantages in less attractive flowers

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Flowers with striking colours or scents are often considered to have an advantage in the competition for pollinators. However, if pollinators copy others to avoid exploration costs in changing environments, less attractive flowers may benefit from acquiring early ...

Differential effects of agricultural expansion on wild bee taxonomic and functional diversity

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pollinators, especially bees, are in global decline, threatening biodiversity and food security. While intensive agriculture is a primary driver, its impact on bee functional diversity—particularly in the diverse Mediterranean region—remains understudied.
