Sociobiology, 2023 Mites have long been associated with bees, often showing a close relationship with particular taxa, probably due to a co-evolutionary process. The present study is the first confirmation on the occurrence of the mite species Calvolia summersi (Mostafa ...

The effects of meliponicultural use of Tetragonula laeviceps on other bee pollinators and pollination efficacy of lemon [PDF]
PeerJThe augmentation of pollination success in lemon (Citrus limon Eureka) flowers remains contingent on the involvement of bee pollinators. With wild bee pollinator populations declining in agroecosystems, meliponiculture has emerged as a potential option ...

The genome sequence of the Violet Carpenter Bee, Xylocopa violacea (Linnaeus, 1785): a hymenopteran species undergoing range expansion. [PDF]
Heredity (Edinb)We present a reference genome assembly from an individual male Violet Carpenter Bee (Xylocopa violacea, Linnaeus, 1758). The assembly is 1.02 gigabases in span. 48% of the assembly is scaffolded into 17 pseudo-chromosomal units.

Pollinator-dependence and specialization in three sunbird-pollinated, fire-stimulated flowering species. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Through field observations and experimental verification, we found that three bird‐pollinated plant species with fire‐stimulated flowering specialize in, and heavily depend on, sunbirds for pollination and reproduction. Abstract Fires dramatically reduce both floral resources and pollinator abundance, potentially compromising flowering plant ...

Fine-tuning the buzz: comparing visitation frequency and pollination effectiveness in plant-pollinator networks. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Ecological network approaches have advanced our understanding of how species interactions influence community and evolutionary dynamics. However, a key limitation is that most network analyses rely solely on visitation data, often overlooking functional aspects of interactions.

The earliest large carpenter bee (Xylocopa) and its adhering pollen (Araliaceae, Theaceae). [PDF]
Paleobiodivers PaleoenvironThe association of pollinators with their host plants is a critical element of ecosystem functioning and one that is usually determined indirectly in the fossil record from specific morphological traits of flowers or putative pollinating animals.
