Tracking large bees in open landscapes with active radio tags-Advantages and challenges using stationary receivers. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
Studying the spatial ecology of ecologically relevant species supports the development of effective conservation strategies. Recent technological advancements in remote tracking methods now enable researchers to study large flower‐visiting insects and important pollinators, such as carpenter bees.

Bifidobacterium xylocopae sp. nov. and Bifidobacterium aemilianum sp. nov., from the carpenter bee (Xylocopa violacea) digestive tract [PDF]

Systematic and Applied Microbiology, 2019
Social bees harbor a community of gut mutualistic bacteria, among which bifidobacteria occupy an important niche. Recently, four novel species have been isolated from guts of different bumblebees, thus allowing to suppose that a core bifidobacterial ...

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 ...

Intrafloral patterns of color and scent in Capparis spinosa L. and the ghosts of its selection past. [PDF]

Am J Bot, 2023
Abstract Premise Capparis spinosa is a widespread charismatic plant, in which the nocturnal floral habit contrasts with the high visitation by diurnal bees and the pronounced scarcity of hawkmoths. To resolve this discrepancy and elucidate floral evolution of C.

Landscape homogenization strengthens the fitness benefits of plant species' centrality in pollination networks. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Understanding how plant–pollinator interactions vary along disturbance gradients and influence community function is essential to comprehend how pollination services can be maintained in increasingly anthropized landscapes. Recent studies found positive relationships between plant fitness and centrality in interaction networks (i.e., high ...
