Effects of trap site location on the use of trap-nests by cavity nesting wasps and bees [PDF]
, 2018 A survey on the cavity-nesting wasps and bees was carried out by using the trap-nests made of bamboo canes in the rural area of Sasayama City, Hyogo prefecture during 2010. A total of 60 trap-nests were placed in three different spatial scales; landscape

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 ...

A unique nest-protection strategy in a new species of spider wasp.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Hymenoptera show a great variation in reproductive potential and nesting behavior, from thousands of eggs in sawflies to just a dozen in nest-provisioning wasps. Reduction in reproductive potential in evolutionary derived Hymenoptera is often facilitated

Rain forest promotes trophic interactions and diversity of trap‐nesting Hymenoptera in adjacent agroforestry [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2006 SummaryHuman alteration of natural ecosystems to agroecosystems continues to accelerate in tropical countries. The resulting world‐wide decline of rain forest causes a mosaic landscape, comprising simple and complex agroecosystems and patchily distributed rain forest fragments of different quality.

Grazing Intensity and the Diversity of Grasshoppers, Butterflies, and Trap‐Nesting Bees and Wasps
Conservation Biology, 2002 Abstract: The maintenance of grasslands as distinct habitats depends on regular management, usually through grazing or mowing, but their species diversity is known to decline with increasing management intensity.

Trap nests to collect solitary cavity-nesting Hymenoptera.
, 2014 (A) Exposed trap nest in the Gutianshan National Nature Reserve, the type locality of Deuteragenia ossarium. (B) Occupied reed internodes containing nests are identifiable by the characteristic nest seal that, in most species, consists of soil material. (

Additive Gaussian Process Regression for Predictive Design of High‐Performance, Printable Silicones
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A chemistry‐aware design framework for tuning printable polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) for vat photopolymerization (VPP) is developed using additive Gaussian process (GP) modeling. Polymer network mechanics informs variable groupings, feasible formulation constraints, and interaction variables.
