Do Buzz-Pollinating Bumble Bees Facilitate Honey Bee Pollination in Southern Highbush Blueberry Through Increasing Pollen Release? [PDF]
Ecol EvolDiversified pollinator assemblages can provide pollinator facilitation and complementarity in cropping systems. When bumble bees are present, honey bees are no more capable of accumulating pollen, but there are more direct interactions between bees that can improve cross pollination.

Genetic insights into bacterial wilt resistance using genomic prediction and association mapping in blueberry. [PDF]
Plant GenomeAbstract Bacterial wilt, caused by Ralstonia spp., poses a major threat to blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) production due to its persistence and rapid spread through soil and infected stock, highlighting the need for genetic insights to guide breeding strategies. This study investigated the genetic basis of bacterial wilt resistance in blueberry using

Assessing Whether Habitat Suitability Models Can Predict Abundance of an Insect Pest. [PDF]
Ecol EvolOur research addresses a critical question in pest management: whether habitat suitability models can effectively predict pest abundance across landscapes. We found two models (BioClim and Random Forest) that captured the expected wedge‐shaped relationship, with substantial variation in predictive capacity among models.
