Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021 Risk assessment of pesticides involves ecotoxicological testing. In case pesticide exposure to bees is likely, toxicity tests are performed with honey bees (Apis mellifera), with a tiered approach, for which validated and internationally accepted test ...

Ten Bee Species New to Green Roofs in the Chicago Area [PDF]
, 2018 Green roofs increasingly provide habitat for many insects in urban environments. Pollinators such as bees may utilize foraging and nesting resources provided by green roofs but few studies have documented which species occur in these novel habitats. This

Are Botanical Biopesticides Safe for Bees (Hymenoptera, Apoidea)?
Insects, 2023 The recent global decline in insect populations is of particular concern for pollinators. Wild and managed bees (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) are of primary environmental and economic importance because of their role in pollinating cultivated and wild plants ...

Growers can do something to attract bees to orchards [PDF]
, 2016 Far more solitary bees than social bumblebees and honeybees were caught in pan traps in apple trees in 2016. Virtually all the solitary bees were ground nesting bees. Solitary bees require nesting sites and the fruit growers can do something to increase

Parasitism of \u3ci\u3eAncistrocerus Antilope\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Eumenidae) by Leucospis Affinis (Hymenoptera: Leucospididae) [PDF]
, 2017 The chalcid wasp Leucospis affinis has been known to parasitize only megachilid bees. Its rare occurrence as a parasite of the eumenid wasp Ancistrocerus antilope indicates that eumenid wasps may be a large resource this chalcid is not ...

Role of Wadsley Defects and Cation Disorder to Enhance MoNb12O33 Diffusion
Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.Wadsley‐Roth niobates are high‐rate capable and durable anode materials for lithium‐ion batteries. Defect‐tailoring of MoNb12O33 is shown to substantially enhance lithium diffusion. Computational models were used to separate the effects of cation disorder and Wadsley defects to identify that both led to the occupation of fast diffusion sites at lower ...
