DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3526
Abstract: Invasive species can reach high abundances and dominate native environments. One of the most impressive examples of ecological invasions is the spread of the African sub-species of the honey bee throughout the Americas, starting from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2019.0574
Abstract: A growing body of research indicates that cities can support diverse bee communities. However, urbanization may disproportionately benefit exotic bees, potentially to the detriment of native species. We examined the influence of urbanization on exotic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1462-2920.14501
Abstract: In recent decades, we have realized that honey bee viruses are not, in fact, exclusive to honey bees. The potential impact of Apis-affiliated viruses on native pollinators is prompting concern. Our research addresses the issue… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/insects13030238
Abstract: Simple Summary Bees and other pollinators play a vital role in food production and natural ecosystems. Native bee populations are declining due in part to habitat loss. Individuals can help bees by landscaping with plants… read more here.
