A model of wild bee populations accounting for spatial heterogeneity and climate‐induced temporal variability of food resources at the landscape level
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9014
Abstract: Abstract The viability of wild bee populations and the pollination services that they provide are driven by the availability of food resources during their activity period and within the surroundings of their nesting sites. Changes… read more here.

Wild bee larval food composition in five European cities
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology"
DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3740
Abstract: Abstract Urbanization poses threats and opportunities for the biodiversity of wild bees. At the same time, cities can harbor diverse wild bee assemblages, partly due to the unique plant assemblages that provide resources. While bee… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-021-04862-6
Abstract: The increase in managed honeybees ( Apis mellifera ) in many European cities has unknown effects on the densities of wild bees through competition. To investigate this, we monitored honeybees and non-honeybees from 01 April… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-021-02233-4
Abstract: Flower plantings can increase the abundance of bees and improve pollination services in the surrounding landscape. However, uncertainty remains as to whether flower plantings play a role in wild bee conservation. The aim of this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10980-020-01096-4
Abstract: Landscape and local habitat traits moderate wild bee communities. However, whether landscape effects differ between local habitat types is largely unknown. We explored the way that wild bee communities in three distinct habitats are shaped… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijppaw.2022.03.001
Abstract: Brood diseases and pesticides can reduce the survival of bee larvae, reduce bee populations, and negatively influence ecosystem biodiversity. However, major gaps persist in our knowledge regarding the routes and implications of co-exposure to these… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/conphys/coac076
Abstract: Abstract There is accumulating evidence that wild bees are experiencing a decline in terms of species diversity, abundance or distribution, which leads to major concerns about the sustainability of both pollination services and intrinsic biodiversity.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.16757
Abstract: As urbanization continues to increase, it is expected that two-thirds of the human population will reside in cities by 2050. Urbanization fragments and degrades natural landscapes, threatening wildlife including economically important species such as bees.… read more here.
