Bee community and trait‐based responses to fire in a Mediterranean landscape

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 530-547, May 2026.
Fire drives a short‐term increase in bee abundance and diversity, despite its strong negative impact on floral resources. Acting as an environmental filter, fire shapes bee communities as increased post‐fire fine‐scale heterogeneity favors bees with specific functional traits such as ground‐nesting and generalist species.

Wild bee diversity and land use: A case study in a mountain agroecosystem of the Serranía de Ronda, southern Spain

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 647-659, May 2026.
Orchards supported the highest wild bee diversity and functional diversity, highlighting their role in maintaining bee communities in Mediterranean agroecosystems. Landscape heterogeneity positively influenced functional evenness and dispersion of wild bee communities, underscoring the importance of diverse landscapes for bee conservation. The presence

Soil sand content is a driving force in structuring bee communities

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 675-685, May 2026.
We conducted a carefully designed observational study across three soil sand content categories using Dalea purpurea that attracts a wide range of bee species and grows in different soil types. Soil sand content, not floral resource availability, affected patterns of bee distribution, and contrary to expectations, sandier sites did not host the highest

Estimating wild bee population size with validated distance sampling

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 469-483, May 2026.
Distance Sampling is a promising method to estimate population size but has never been validated on insects. We validated it on a honey bee population of known size. We applied Distance Sampling to three insular pollinators and found that estimates are consistent across days, match species phenology and reflect the expected influence of weather ...

Second‐Generation Crystalline Sponges Enabling Consistent Structure Analysis Under Standardized Conditions for Diverse Molecules

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 17, 20 April 2026.
The second‐generation crystalline sponge method allows structurally diverse molecular guests to crystallize under standardized crystallization conditions. The key is the predominant packing type of cages and anions in crystals. ABSTRACT Crystallization is typically highly sensitive to even minor structural differences in target molecules.

Different Paths, Similar Pressures: Divergent Drivers of Genetic Diversity Despite Convergent Genomic Signatures of Selection in Response to Urban Intensity in Two Oligolectic Bee Species

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 9, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Urbanisation is a pervasive form of anthropogenic environmental change and a driver of contemporary evolution. Yet, it remains unclear how demographic processes and environmentally associated genomic variation shape genomic patterns in cities and whether these responses depend on species‐specific ecological traits.

Academic Nurse Educators' Experiences and Perceptions of Supporting Adult Nursing Students in Clinical Placements in Nursing Homes: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis

International Journal of Older People Nursing, Volume 21, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim This paper explores nurse educators' perceptions of nursing home placements and their experiences of supporting adult nursing students undertaking placements within them. Background The global population is ageing and requires the provision of skilled Registered Nurses to meet their needs.

The Shared Life

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 112, Issue 3, Page 641-651, May 2026.
ABSTRACT We are social animals that seek to live a life that is, in some sense, shared with others. But what exactly do we want in wanting to live a shared life? First, I seek to show that this question is not as straightforward as it might initially appear. Second, I present an answer to this question, which makes reference to the thought that we have

Phenological mismatches and the demography of solitary bees

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2023
Species respond idiosyncratically to environmental variation, which may generate phenological mismatches. We assess the consequences of such mismatches for solitary bees. During 9 years, we studied flowering phenology and nesting phenology and demography of five wood-nesting solitary bee species representing a broad gradient of specialization ...
