Review of Zethus Fabricius from the West Indies (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) [PDF]
Eleven species of Zethus are reported for the West Indies including two new species. A re-evaluation of Z. albopictus Smith is accomplished based on new material from Hispaniola leading to the creation of a new species group.

Abstract Habitat fragmentation is widespread globally, but the effects of fragmentation on populations and communities are often unclear. Because species responses to fragmentation are interdependent, examining how fragmentation alters species interactions may clarify community responses to fragmentation. In a large, replicated fragmentation experiment,

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

Northern Distribution Records for Some Nearctic Pompilidae (Hymenoptera) [PDF]
Distributional records and nomenclatural changes are presented for 20 species of Nearctic Pompilidae. The records extend the species\u27 ranges northward in North America, are peripheral on the northern boundaries of the ranges, or fill in sizeable gaps ...

The study demonstrates that sufficient B supply is crucial for successful rapeseed flower growth and fertility as well as for attracting pollinating insects, thus securing yield in a pollinator‐dependent crop. It is illustrated that climate change can pose a threat to crop yield via both direct effects, that is, an impaired nutrient uptake, and ...

The present study analyzes wildlife species use indices and a vulnerability in the Aledjo Wildlife Reserve (AWR) in Togo. The Importance Value‐in‐use Index (IVIUsp) indicates that the most valued species are the patas monkey (Erythrocebus patas), the forest cobra (Naja melanoleuca), and the green mamba (Dendroaspis viridis).
