Effects of flower patch additions and urbanisation on cavity‐nesting bees and wasps

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
Urbanisation can negatively affect cavity‐nesting bees and wasps, yet common conservation interventions such as flower patches and artificial nests lack strong empirical support. In a 2‐year experiment across urban allotments spanning an urbanisation gradient, we found no effect of added floral resources on nest uptake, while hymenopteran abundance ...

A New Moustache Wasp in Dominican Amber, with an Account of Apoid Wasp Evolution Emphasizing Crabroninae (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae) [PDF]

, 2006
A new, extinct species of the wasp genus Lindenius (Crabroninae: Crabronini: Crabronina) is described and figured from two exquisitely preserved specimens discovered in Early Miocene Dominican amber.

Host identity, nest quality, and parasitism strategy: influences on body size variation in parasitoid bees and wasps

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 6, June 2025.
Body size determines mobility and fitness across taxa in various ways. Yet, drivers of body size in higher trophic invertebrates, especially parasitoids, including intra‐ and interspecific variations, are poorly understood due to complex interactions between parasitoid behaviour, the environment and their hosts.

Major benefits of guarding behavior in subsocial bees: implications for social evolution

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 6, Issue 19, Page 6784-6797, October 2016., 2016
Increased survival of the offspring is the beneficial result of nest guarding strategy in subsocial bees. Experimental female removal had a significant negative effect on the offspring survival in two studied species. These nests frequently failed due to the attacks of natural enemies (ants, chalcidoid wasps, and other competing bees).

The influence of habitat properties on sex determination in cavity-nesting Hymenoptera

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2023
Unravelling the relationships between insect population dynamics and habitat properties is often complex. Established theoretical concepts, which predict an influence of available resources on sex determination, have often not been tested with ...

Recent trends in UK insects that inhabit early successional stages of ecosystems [PDF]

, 2015
Improved recording of less popular groups, combined with new statistical approaches that compensate for datasets that were hitherto too patchy for quantitative analysis, now make it possible to compare recent trends in the status of UK invertebrates ...

Forest structure and heterogeneity increase diversity and alter composition of host–parasitoid networks

Ecological Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 257-271, April 2024.
Cavity‐nesting bees and wasps and their associated parasitoids rely on forest structural elements such as deadwood. Host–parasitoid interaction networks can reveal how these forest structures can support this important ecosystem function. Here, we sample cavity‐nesting bee wasps and their parasitoids from 127 forest research sites, along with gradients

Trophic level and specialization moderate effects of habitat loss and landscape diversity on cavity‐nesting bees, wasps and their parasitoids

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 65-76, January 2024.
Differences in species responses with regard to their trophic level, food and habitat specialization, and to habitat loss from local to landscape scales are poorly understood. Using cavity‐nesting communities of bees, wasps and their parasitoids on calcareous grasslands as a model system, we found that species from higher trophic levels experienced ...
