Landscape and local factors influence solitary bee nesting, but reported effects show little consistency across studies

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
Collectively, these findings indicate that agri‐environment schemes aiming to support solitary bees should integrate the provision of nesting resources with proximity to floral resources. The heterogeneity among studies highlights the need for solitary bee conservation measures to be tailored to local conditions and to the local fauna.

Determining Terminal Velocities of Selected Insects and Substitute Materials to Develop Future Test Procedures for Insect‐Friendly Mowing Technology

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 310-320, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Agricultural grasslands are vital habitats for insects that provide key ecosystem services. However, conventional rotary mowers are proposed to cause significant insect mortality due to the high rotational speed of their blades and the resulting airflow.

Polymorphism in Stelopolybia Areata (Hymenoptera, Vespidae) [PDF]

open access: yesPsyche: A Journal of Entomology, 1974
Polymorphism in the social Hymenoptera has been defined as the occurrence within a single colony of two or more distinct morphological forms, or castes, belonging to the same sex (Wilson 953). Wilson (953) has pointed out that polymorphism arises out of the occurrence of allometry (differential rates of growth o.f two parts of the body) over a ...

Camponotus renggeri (Formicidae) predated Agelaia vicina (Vespidae) nest and occupied Parachartergus pseudapicalis (Vespidae) nest

open access: yesSociobiology, 2022
Ants prey on social wasps affecting the evolution of nest architecture, defense behaviors, and selection of nesting sites of these insects. The importance of social wasps in natural and agricultural ecosystems, especially in biological control, justifies studies on predation of these insects by ants.
