Conserving bees in destroyed landscapes: The potentials of reclaimed sand mines
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2019 Sand mines represent anthropogenically impacted habitats found worldwide, which bear potential for bee conservation. Although floral resources can be limited at these habitats, vegetation free patches of open sandy soils and embankments may offer good ...

Getting more than a fair share: nutrition of worker larvae related to social parasitism in the Cape honey bee Apis mellifera capensis [PDF]
, 2002 Besides activation of ovaries and thelytokous reproduction of Cape workers, larval nutrition is an important aspect in parasitism of the African honey bee.

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Camera traps are emerging as a useful tool for noninvasive insect monitoring; however, it remains unclear how to lure diurnal insects to traps, how to detect them upon arrival, and how camera‐based methods compare to conventional sampling. We developed a low‐cost, open‐source camera trap to monitor wild bumble bees in agricultural fields. We found that

Structure of Bee Communities in Marginal Lands of the Puget Sound, USA
Ecology and EvolutionWild bee communities in urban ecosystems are often challenged by habitat fragmentation and low floral diversity. In such settings, marginal land surrounding airports or in power line corridors may support bees, even with small habitat patches.

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mancozeb is one of the most widely used agricultural fungicides, exhibiting strong efficacy against a broad spectrum of phytopathogenic fungi. However, its widespread application comes at the cost of environmental contamination. Here, we show the effects of Inga vera leaf litter contamination with Mancozeb on life‐history traits of Aedes ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecosystem services provide essential benefits to human survival and well‐being. Animal behaviour is central to the delivery of many ecosystem services, yet we know little about how behaviour drives services' provision.

Foraging energetics reveals late‐summer challenges for pollinators across two British cities
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Foraging bees often work within fine energetic margins, but recent work has shown that foraging conditions can vary markedly across the year. Despite the importance of seasonality for pollinator foraging, most work in this area has relied on indirect approaches. However,
