Bees are the most important group of insect pollinators, but their populations are declining.
To gain a better understanding of wild bee responses to different stressors (eg land-use …

Increasing urbanisation is one of the primary drivers of land-use change that threaten
biodiversity. Wild bee communities have been reported with contrasting responses to …

Objectives DNA barcoding became an effective method for the identification and monitoring
of bees. However, standard primer pairs used for barcoding often result in (co-) amplification …

Urban garden spaces are potentially important habitats for bee conservation. Gardens can
host diverse flora, which provide floral resources across foraging seasons for bee species …

Simple Summary Hoverflies and bees play a key role in plant pollination. The increasing
concern about pollinator reduction forces the planning of a sampling monitoring scheme to …

Simple Summary The status of DNA barcoding in the cryptic species of stingless bees from
Borneo, Tetragonula laeviceps sensu lato (sl)(Smith 1857), is poorly known. The T …

Predicting ecological impact of declining bumblebee (Bombus) populations requires better
understanding of interactions between pollinator partitioning of floral resources and plant …

The Mediterranean region has a high but unevenly studied level of invertebrate diversity.
Genetic-based methods, such as DNA barcoding and metabarcoding, are proposed for …

Stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Meliponini) are among the most important pollinators of
tropical forests. Peru is considered a hotspot of biodiversity of Meliponini, but many areas of …

Simple Summary The city of Paris is a dense and highly urbanized capital. However, it has
many green spaces, some of which are managed to promote biodiversity. Among the wildlife …
