The aculeate wasps are one of the most diverse and speciose insect taxa; they are
omnipresent across ecosystems and exhibit diverse co‐evolutionary and exploitative …

Cultivation of pollinator-dependent crops has expanded globally, increasing our reliance on
insect pollination. This essential ecosystem service is provided by a wide range of managed …

Orchidaceae show remarkable diversity in pollination strategies, but how these strategies
vary globally is not entirely clear. To identify regions and taxa that are data-rich and lend …

Although the importance of natural habitats to pollinator diversity is widely recognized, the
value of forests to pollinating insects has been largely overlooked in many parts of the world …

Stingless bees (Meliponini) are the largest and most diverse group of social bees, yet their
largely tropical distribution means that they are less studied than their relatives, the bumble …

Bees are important pollinators of wild and agricultural plants 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and there is
increasing evidence that many bee populations decline due to a combination of habitat loss …

▪ Abstract The pollination of flowering plants by animals represents a critical ecosystem
service of great value to humanity, both monetary and otherwise. However, the need for …

This book describes and illustrates the results of more than fifteen years of elegant
experimental studies conducted by the author to investigate how a colony of bees is …

▪ Abstract We review the physiological, molecular, and neural mechanisms of insect color
vision. Phylogenetic and molecular analyses reveal that the basic bauplan, UV-blue-green …

Recent declines of bee species have led to great interest in preserving and promoting bee
populations for agricultural and wild plant pollination. Many correlational studies have …
