The role of solitary bees in the ecosystem
, 2021 Solitarne pčele čine oko 85% svih vrsta pčela, a kao najznačajniji oprašivači entomofilnih biljaka imaju nezamjenjivu ulogu u odrţavanju ekosustava. Iako su vrlo brojni i iznimno kvalitetni oprašivači, tek se mali broj vrsta koristi u komercijalne svrhe ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This paper argues that variation among individuals—not just species differences—can shape the sensitivity, robustness and resilience of plant–pollinator communities under global change. By linking individual traits and interaction structure to network dynamics, it provides a new framework and future research directions for predicting community ...

Proventricular structure in solitary bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) [PDF]
, 2005 Proventricular structure, analyzed by scanning electronic microscopy, is compared among 28 species of solitary bees representing four families. Observations on the shapes of proventricular folds and on hair-like cuticular projections are presented ...

Economic Record, EarlyView.We examine the impact of two changes to Australia's Parenting Payment Single (PPS) program, a welfare payment for low‐income single mothers. One change lowered the age of the youngest child cut off for program eligibility, forcing new welfare entrants onto the less generous Newstart (unemployment) payment.

Brood parasitism reduces but does not prevent Bombus terrestris reproductive success
Insect Science, EarlyView.Graphical depiction of the colony splitting process. Throughout figures in this paper, results pertaining to host success are represented in blue, and cuckoo success is represented in red. Abstract Cuckoo bumblebees are obligate brood parasites that must invade a colony of their host bumblebee species in order to reproduce.

Non-linear bioconvection in a deep suspension of gyrotactic swimming micro-organisms [PDF]
, 1999 The non-linear structure of deep, stochastic, gyrotactic bioconvection is explored. A linear analysis is reviewed and a weakly non-linear analysis justifies its application by revealing the supercritical nature of the bifurcation. An asymptotic expansion

Potential Correlation Between Bombus lantschouensis Thoracic Morphology and Flight Behavior
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Potential correlation between Bombus lantschouensis thoracic morphology and flight behavior. ABSTRACT Remarkably little modern work has investigated the thoracic structures of insects and their relationship to flight locomotion. Most studies focus exclusively on either morphology or flight kinematics.

Solitary Bees for Orchard Pollination
, 1997 Contrary to our usual idea that bees• live in hives, with queens, workers, and drones, most bees cannot be hived, are not social, don\u27t store honey, and rarely sting. The introduced, European honey bee is a highly specialized exception, rather than a

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Brain size may be influenced by the cognitive demands of sociality (social brain hypothesis). We used microCT to compare CNS and brain volumes in social versus solitary huntsman and crab spiders. Social huntsman spiders had larger arcuate and mushroom bodies, while social crab spiders had larger visual neuropils.
