Social but not solitary bees reject dangerous flowers where a conspecific has recently been attacked
, 2013 International audienceSocial bees are known to avoid inflorescences marked with dead conspecifics or their smell. The avoidance response could be triggered by alarm signals actively given by attacked bees or by substances passively released through ...

To provide pollinator nesting habitat, cut dead perennial stems in their first winter
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Garden management practises need to consider stem‐nesting bees and wasps to avoid destroying active nests and important nesting materials. Volunteers collected samples of dead stems (in situ where they grew) in winter, spring, summer and fall as part of a participatory research project.

Concentrated vulnerabilities in bees: Diet specialists have smaller geographic ranges
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Niche breadth theory predicts a positive association between range size and diet breadth, which could concentrate risk among specialists, but this is not well established for bees. Using global occurrence data (range size) and natural history collection‐derived pollen data (diet breadth), we compared these traits in 633 species from six families and ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Bees are integral pollinators commonly found in and supported by urban green spaces; however, their eco‐evolutionary response to urbanisation varies interspecifically. While several studies have explored the population and landscape genetics of bees in response to urbanisation, few have examined solitary or specialist species which may be more ...

Co‐Authorship in Applied Linguistics Research: Patterns and Trends, 1991–2023
International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.Abstract It has been 18 years since Greene's featured article in Nature, The demise of the lone author. In that time, there have been enormous shifts in how educational research has been conducted, with a move towards greater teamworking, anecdotally evident from author bylines in published documents. This bibliometric study investigates patterns of co‐

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.
