Pollination ecology in the tropical Andes: moving towards a cross‐scale approach

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2312-2345, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Plant–pollinator interactions structure ecological communities and represent a key component of ecosystem functioning. Pollination networks are expected to be more diverse and specialised in the tropics, but pollination ecology in these regions has been understudied in comparison to other areas.

Indigenous Knowledge, Habitat, and Nest Characterization of Stingless Bee (Meliponula beccarii) in West Arsi Zone of Oromia, Ethiopia

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology
Stingless bees are eusocial insects that play vital roles as pollinators of many flowering plants and high value products. However, information on their nesting habitats and nest characteristics is scarce in West Arsi Zone of Oromia, Ethiopia. This study

Insect floral visitors vary spatiotemporally and influence fruit production in mango orchards

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 6, Page 1121-1136, December 2025.
Native stingless bees (Tetragonula spp.) were the most abundant flower visitors in mango orchards, and their visitation sharply declined with distance from native vegetation. Hover flies and stingless bees showed complementary spatiotemporal visitation patterns, but hover flies could not fully offset pollination loss deeper in the orchard.

First large-scale study reveals important losses of managed honey bee and stingless bee colonies in Latin America

Scientific Reports
Over the last quarter century, increasing honey bee colony losses motivated standardized large-scale surveys of managed honey bees (Apis mellifera), particularly in Europe and the United States.

Aspects determining the risk of pesticides to wild bees: risk profiles for focal crops on three continents. [PDF]

, 2012
In order to conduct a proper risk assessment of pesticides to bees, information is needed in three areas: (i) the toxicity of the pesticide; (ii) the probability of bee exposure to that pesticide; and (iii) the population dynamics of the bee species in ...
