The role of wild bees and cavity‐nesting wasps as ecological indicators of the last traditionally managed meadows in Eastern Europe [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe number of wild bees and cavity‐nesting wasps is abundant in agricultural areas and they contribute significantly to ecosystem services. Due to their specialization in nesting sites and food sources, these groups are sensitive to habitat condition ...

No evidence for environmental filtering of cavity‐nesting solitary bees and wasps by urbanization using trap nests [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Spatial patterns in biodiversity are used to establish conservation priorities and ecosystem management plans. The environmental filtering of communities along urbanization gradients has been used to explain biodiversity patterns but demonstrating ...

The evolution of parental care in insects: A test of current hypotheses. [PDF]
Evolution, 2015 Which sex should care for offspring is a fundamental question in evolution. Invertebrates, and insects in particular, show some of the most diverse kinds of parental care of all animals, but to date there has been no broad comparative study of the ...

Disentangling the coexistence strategies of mud-daubing wasp species through trophic analysis in oases of Baja California peninsula. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 Species within the same trophic level show different strategies to avoid competition. Among these mechanisms, differences in body size, spatio-temporal segregation, and diet preference often leads to a niche partitioning. Nonetheless, little attention on

Reproductive trait differences drive offspring production in urban cavity-nesting bees and wasps. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 We studied intraspecific reproductive traits and offspring production of cavity‐nesting bees and wasps across in the city of Toronto, Canada. We found that offspring production was highly positively correlated with reproductive trait evenness and negatively correlated with trait richness and divergence. This suggests that a narrow range of reproductive

Differences in functional trait responses to elevation among feeding guilds of Aculeata community. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 The response of communities to climate change is expected to vary among feeding guilds. We found that functional trait composition of each feeding guild in Aculeata bees and wasps community responded to the elevational gradient in different ways. This differences can produce different community assembly patterns in different guilds during further ...
