Wild Bee Assemblages and Pollination Networks of Managed Emergent Wetlands in Central New York, USA
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.70847
Abstract: ABSTRACT To effectively protect wild bee pollinators and the services they provide, it is critical to gather data on their distributions, life histories, and interactions with plants among a diversity of habitat types. Wetlands are… read more here.

Structure of Bee Communities in Marginal Lands of the Puget Sound, USA
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.72049
Abstract: ABSTRACT Wild bee communities in urban ecosystems are often challenged by habitat fragmentation and low floral diversity. In such settings, marginal land surrounding airports or in power line corridors may support bees, even with small… read more here.

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.

The threat of pesticide and disease co-exposure to managed and wild bee larvae
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife"
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.

Honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) and wild bee resource competition: how big is this problem?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Integrative and comparative biology"
DOI: 10.1093/icb/icaf072
Abstract: The Western honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) has been managed by humans for centuries for honey, wax, and most recently, crop pollination. The deep history of human association with this species has enabled agricultural practices… read more here.
