Pigmentary colouration of hairy carpenter bees, genus Xylocopa. [PDF]
Naturwissenschaften, 2023 Carpenter bees can display distinct colouration patterns due to structural coloured wings and/or coloured hairs on their bodies. Females of the sexually dichromatic Xylocopa caerulea are marked by strongly blue-pigmented hairs on the head, thorax and ...

Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT Fire is a major form of environmental disturbance, and in recent years, due to anthropogenic climate change and anthropogenic land management, we are seeing increases in the frequency and intensity of fires. With bees being an important, diverse group of pollinators that is facing declines globally, understanding how they respond to fires is ...

Carpenter Bees (Xylocopa) Harbor a Distinctive Gut Microbiome Related to That of Honey Bees and Bumble Bees. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2022 Gut microbiomes from social bees, such as honey bees and bumble bees, are conserved and consist of host-restricted bacteria that are transmitted among sterile female workers within a colony and that are important to the health of these key insect ...

Plant-Pollinator Interaction Rewiring Boosts Year-to-Year Community Persistence. [PDF]
Ecol LettOur study shows that year‐to‐year changes in plant–pollinator interactions are not random but structured to enhance pollinator persistence, buffering communities against environmental fluctuations. Using a uniquely resolved 8‐year dataset from 12 sites, we reveal that these shifts are primarily driven by changes in phenology and abundance of the ...

Influence of Environmental Covariates on Pollinator Community Occupancy, Detection, and Richness Across Urban Gardens in Richmond, Virginia, USA. [PDF]
Ecol EvolUrban gardens can play a vital role in supporting pollinator diversity and aiding ecosystem health amidst global declines in pollinators. This study analyzed plant–pollinator interactions in Mid‐Atlantic (USA) urban gardens using multispecies occupancy models, focusing on two native plants: Liatris spicata and Pycnanthemum muticum .
