The Future of Native Bees in Australia Under Environmental and Anthropogenic Change
Bees are considered one of the most important and abundant pollinators across the globe, yet they are under threat from anthropogenic activities such as land‐clearing, urbanisation, agricultural activities, pesticide use, non‐native flora and fauna introductions, disruption of natural fire regimes, pollution and climate change, among others.

Wind turbines influence several abiotic conditions in the environments they are sited in and may influence the behavior and movement of insect pollinators. It is unknown how operating turbines influence plant–pollinator interactions. To investigate if pollination dynamics could be affected by the presence of wind turbines, we recorded videos of ...

Mitochondrial fission‐fusion imbalance contributes to age‐related cardio‐cerebral diseases like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Cerebral Infarction, Arteriosclerosis, Myocardial Infarction, Cardiac valve disease, Hypertension, and Cardiomyopathy. This review summarizes its regulatory mechanisms and interventions.

BumbleBEEP: A Sensor System for Bumblebee Colony Monitoring
We present a bumblebee colony monitoring system, BumbleBEEP. The system is fitted with thermometers and a custom weight sensor. These record data up to every 15 min, recording bumblebee brood nest temperature, environmental ambient temperature, and colony growth.

In the pollen stores of three bee species deployed across 128 European sites, bumble bees harboured lower lipid content and higher protein‐to‐lipid ratios than honey bees and mason bees. Toxicity‐weighted pesticide risk did not alter protein‐to‐lipid ratios, but higher risk was associated with reduced protein and lipid content in the pollen stores of ...

Bombus terrestris and Apis mellifera colonies sharing the same landscape (<50 m from each other) collected pollen with significantly different heavy metal concentrations. B. terrestris‐collected pollen contained 2–7× higher concentrations of arsenic, chromium, cobalt, lead and tin than A. mellifera‐collected pollen.

ABSTRACT Habitat loss and agricultural intensification are major drivers of insect decline, yet their consequences for intraspecific genetic diversity remain poorly understood. Here, we used landscape genomics to compare genome‐wide diversity, population differentiation and spatial patterns of gene flow in two butterfly species (Polyommatus icarus ...

Fish Poxviruses on the Rise: Prospects for Aquatic Health
ABSTRACT Fish poxviruses are increasingly recognised as emerging pathogens of fish and should be considered in cases of unexplained gill or skin pathology. Carp edema virus (CEV), the causative agent of koi sleepy disease in common carp and koi (Cyprinus carpio), represents the first known example.

Agroecosystem landscape diversity shapes wild bee communities independent of managed honey bee presence [PDF]
Large scale agricultural production can lead to a reduction in availability of habitat used by wild bees for nesting and forage and has been implicated in worldwide bee population declines.
