Urban Landscape Influence Orchid Bee Diversity in a Tropical Megacity

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing urbanization has affected pollinator communities, such as Euglossini bees, which play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity through the pollination of numerous plants. However, the impact of different levels of urbanization on the diversity of these bees is still not fully understood, especially in large tropical urban ...

Fish welfare in a changing world: New developments and current challenges

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The welfare of non‐human animals is central to ethical discussions on animal use, with increasing attention to fish welfare across research, aquaria, aquaculture, and fisheries. This paper reviews current theoretical approaches to animal welfare and recent advances in defining and assessing fish welfare since the seminal paper by Huntingford ...

Solenostomus snuffleupagus sp. nov., a hairy ghost pipefish (Teleostei: Solenostomidae) from the Southwest Pacific, with an integrative comparison to S. paegnius

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract A new species of ghost pipefish, Solenostomus snuffleupagus sp. nov., is described from the Coral Sea based on specimens (18–34 mm SL) collected from coral reef habitats in Queensland, Australia. The species is diagnosed by the following combination of characters: abundant elongate integumentary filaments imparting a conspicuously shaggy ...

Foraging ecology and conservation of honeybees, bumble bees and solitary bees

, 2021
This thesis contributes to two inter-related fields of research: bee conservation and bee foraging ecology. The first focuses on solitary bee ecology, identifying forage and habitat requirements along with educating the general public on aspects of solitary bee behaviour to aid in the conservation of the studied species.

Shifts in cuticular hydrocarbon profiles of bees and wasps primarily reflect temperature variations rather than the amount of sealed ground surfaces in an urban landscape

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
The Urban Heat Island Effect (UHI) can potentially subject insects to heat and desiccation stress and likely induce shifts in their cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) profile. We expected that warmer urbanized areas favour longer chain length of hydrocarbons as well as higher abundance of n‐alkanes in three Hymenoptera species. We found that temperature, more

A phototaxis assay to measure sublethal effects of pesticides on bees

Scientific Reports
In agricultural areas, bees are pervasively exposed to pesticides at sublethal concentrations. Methods to establish whether these concentrations may cause negative effects are needed to assess the potential hazards of field-realistic levels of exposure ...

Deep dialogism, inner voices, and mental health

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
The idea that cognition involves dialogic interchange between mutually influencing “voices” has long featured in psychology and philosophy. While dialogic structure is most explicit in inner speech, some authors have argued that other types of mental activity can be (or always are) dialogic. We introduce two dimensions of dialogism, strength and depth,

Becoming Dostoevsky (how Rowan Williams opens up Bakhtin)

Modern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract With the end of Communism in Russia, non‐materialist contexts were enthusiastically restored to Mikhail Bakhtin's globally famous ideas of carnival, dialogism, and polyphony. This essay surveys Rowan Williams's 2008 study Dostoevsky: Language, Faith + Fiction as a major contribution to this effort, concentrating on those general philosophical ...

Renaissance of the Trinitarian: Erwin Schadel's Integral Perspective

Modern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract Erwin Schadel (1946–2016), a central yet little‐known figure of the so‐called Bamberg School, developed a distinctive triadic ontology that deserves attention within the contemporary renaissance of Trinitarian thought. Drawing on Augustinian and Comenian sources, Schadel articulates a relational grammar of being through the categories of in ...

CHARACTERIZING THE MATERNALLY INHERITED ENDOSYMBIONTS OF SOLITARY BEES

, 2014
Solitary bees are important pollinators of crops, with species in the family Megachilidae (mason bees) being used for orchard pollination. Commercial movement of these bees also moves their microbiota, including bacterial endosymbionts capable of ...
