Mapping wild bee diversity and flower use for an effective conservation of the Doñana biodiversity hotspot

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We compiled the first checklist of wild bees in Doñana Protected Area, documenting 385 species, including three vulnerable and one endangered species listed in the Red List. Bee species exhibit diverse floral preferences, highlighting the need to incorporate plant–pollinator interactions and the role of plants in conservation and management strategies ...

Local habitat, not landscape diversity, drives richness and reproduction of cavity‐nesting bees and wasps in agricultural landscapes

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Local habitat type and hedgerow cover strongly shape bee and wasp richness, but only weakly their reproductive output, outweighing the landscape diversity effects at the 1‐km2 scale. Forests host more wasp but fewer bee species, whereas orchards support high richness of both; bee reproduction patterns are driven by one dominant species, while wasp ...

Food resources are more important than nesting resources for explaining wild bee diversity in urban gardens Nahrungsressourcen haben einen größeren Einfluss auf die Wildbienendiversität in urbanen Gärten als das Nistangebot

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Urban community gardens showed a high wild bee diversity with 168 recorded species, representing roughly 30% of Germany's wild bees, including threatened species like Osmia mitis and Coelioxys lanceolata. Floral resources, not nesting resources or habitat availability, were the main drivers for wild bee taxonomic and functional diversity.

Unequal pollinator benefits from partial mowing regimes in a field experiment

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Pollinators aggregate in unmown refuges in partially mown vegetation in the first days after mowing. Up to four weeks after mowing, this initial aggregation is followed by a subsequent decline in abundance not observed in unmown locations. This decline is paired with a species richness decrease, revealing that partial mowing filters pollinator ...

From biology to biotechnology: Host‐regulation factors from parasitoid wasps are a source of bioactive molecules with translational potential

open access: yesInsect 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.

Patience Stones: Material Encounters for Slow Currents of Pedagogy

open access: yesInternational Journal of Art &Design Education, EarlyView.
Abstract This article moves across sites in Canada and Japan with the practice of making Patience Stones (Sang‐e Saboor), a biodegradable, dough‐based artistic and pedagogical object that invites artist–teachers and artist–learners into with‐nessing and slow becoming.

From Desiring to Becoming Mothers: Lesbian and Bisexual Women's Path to Dual Motherhood in the Brazilian Context

open access: yesJournal of Marriage and Family, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study investigates how cisgender lesbian and bisexual Brazilian women constructed and negotiated their path to dual motherhood with their partners, going from an initial desire for motherhood to a shared family project. Background Two‐women couples are increasingly pursuing motherhood, either through assisted reproduction ...
