Observations on the Nesting Behavior of \u3ci\u3eAuplopus Caerulescens Subcorticalis\u3c/i\u3e and Other Auplopodini (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) [PDF]
, 2017 Nest searching and mud and prey transport behavior in a small aggregation of Auplopus caerulescens subcorticalis nesting in a concrete cellar foundation in upstate New York are delineated. The contents of nine cells of this subspecies are identified, the

Sociobiology, 2020 About 85% of pollinating bees are solitary, but few are used for agricultural pollination. The Anthidiini tribe looks very promising in Brazil, in the light of ecosystem utility, but it is still a species with poorly scientific research[EdM1] .

Notes on \u3ci\u3eDianthidium Simile\u3c/i\u3e (Cresson) (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) in Michigan [PDF]
, 2018 Dianthidium simile (Cresson) is a small ground-nesting megachilid bee restricted to sandy areas in Michigan, often bordering lakeshores. Females dig their nests in sand, at the base of dried clumps of grass. Nests are small clusters of cells, formed from

Low‐Angle Grain Boundaries and Re‐Segregation in Single‐Crystalline Ni‐Base Superalloys
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This work demonstrates that Re‐segregation at low‐angle grain boundaries (LAGBs) in Ni‐base superalloys is influenced by misorientation angle. Advanced microscopy and atom probe tomography reveal that higher misorientation angles increases Re‐segregation.

Broadband, Flexible, Skin‐Compatible Carbon Dots/Graphene Photodetectors for Wearable Applications
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Broadband, flexible photodetectors integrating nitrogen‐rich carbon dots with single‐layer graphene on plastic substrates are demonstrated. A biocompatible chitosan–glycerol electrolyte enables efficient low‐voltage gating and on‐skin operation. The devices exhibit ultraviolet‐to‐near‐infrared response, mechanical robustness under bending, and verified

What do we know about Neotropical trap-nesting bees? Synopsis about their nest biology and taxonomy
Papéis Avulsos de ZoologiaCavity-nesting bees are enigmatic because they are difficult to observe in the wild, hence trap-nests (man-made cavities) provide the means by which these bees may be studied.
