A new host record for the cleptoparasite Irenangelus lucidus (Evans, 1969) (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae)
Entomological Communications, 2021 We provide a new host record for the cleptoparasitic wasp Irenangelus lucidus (Evans, 1969) (Pompilidae: Ceropalinae). A single female emerged from a brood cell of the host species Auplopus militaris (Lynch-Arribalzaga, 1873) (Pompilidae: Pepsinae ...

Managing trap‐nesting bees as crop pollinators: Spatiotemporal effects of floral resources and antagonists [PDF]
Journal of Applied Ecology, 2017 Abstract The decline of managed honeybees and the rapid expansion of mass‐flowering crops increase the risk of pollination limitation in crops and raise questions about novel management approaches for wild pollinators in agroecosystems. Adding artificial nesting sites, such as trap nests, can promote cavity‐nesting bees in agroecosystems, but ...
