Zoologica Scripta, Volume 54, Issue 6, Page 884-896, November 2025.ABSTRACT The large carpenter bees of the genus Xylocopa comprise almost 400 species distributed worldwide. Their large body and ability to build nests through woodworking make them one of the most remarkable groups of bees. In the Neotropics, they comprise over 100 species occurring in tropical and subtropical environments including islands in the ...

The First Record of Calvolia summersi (Mostafa, 1970) (Acari: Winterschmidtiidae) from the Oriental Region and a new record of host association with Xylocopa (Ctenoxylocopa) fenestrata (Fabricius, 1798) with a review on Xylocopa-mite associations in India [PDF]
, 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 ...

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*
Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 7, Page 1877-1933, July 2025.Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.

Landscape influence on pollinator population genetic connectivity
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 285-302, May 2025.We analysed 113 studies from 59 countries, covering 96 bee and 21 hoverfly species, to review the evidence of environmental and landscape effects on the population genetic connectivity in pollinators. Environmental conditions (precipitation and temperature), topography (elevation and sea), and land use (agriculture, deforestation, urbanisation) were ...

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 24, Issue 5, July 2024.Abstract Recent declines in insect abundances, especially populations of wild pollinators, pose a threat to many natural and agricultural ecosystems. Traditional species monitoring relies on morphological character identification and is inadequate for efficient and standardized surveys.
