Unveiling Wasps as Potential Pollinators: Floral Traits and Wasp Sociality Intensify Network Centrality in a Highly Diverse Tropical Ecosystem

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1520-1531, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Wasps, members of over 90 hymenopteran families, exhibit diverse behaviours, including pollination, predation and parasitism. While wasps are known pollinators in specialised systems, such as the intricate mutualism of fig trees and the deceptive pollination of certain orchids, they have historically been considered ineffective pollinators ...

Evaluating eDNA Metabarcoding Techniques for Pollinator Community Assessment in a Field and Controlled Experiment

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.
This study evaluates the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding on flowers to detect pollinator species and compares it with traditional visual sampling methods. Findings show that while eDNA complements conventional techniques in monitoring pollinators, it cannot fully replace them, highlighting the need for integrated approaches.

Pollinator visits increase with bloom amount but decline with building height on extensive green roofs

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 438-445, May 2025.
Pollinator abundance and species richness decline with building height. Although our study was limited to eight sites, it emphasises the importance of extensive green roofs (EGRs) on low‐rise buildings. Bee abundance and species richness increased with stonecrop bloom amount, but communities determined from distinct stonecrop species were more alike to

Shedding light on overlooked pollinators: Global insights into floral interactions of velvet ants (Hymenoptera: Mutillidae and Myrmosidae)

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 4, Page 453-465, May 2025.
Abstract Plant–animal interactions constitute a recurrent and central focus in ecological research, with pollination representing one of its most extensively studied aspects. While certain insect orders have traditionally received considerable attention due to their abundance as flower visitors and their efficiency in pollination, it is undeniable that

Evolving perspectives in Hymenoptera systematics: Bridging fossils and genomes across time

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 1-31, January 2025.
Advances in sequencing and phylogenomic methods reveal unresolved deep phylogenetic nodes with variable age estimates in Hymenoptera, including, for example, Eusymphyta and Proctotrupomorpha. Conflicting morphological and molecular data hinder consensus in Hymenoptera systematics.
