Mutualisms and (A)symmetry in Plant-Pollinator Interactions

Casper J. van der Kooi et al.

Summary: The relationship between plants and animal pollinators is often asymmetric, depending on the perspective taken, and there is variation in (a)symmetry within and between species as well as geographic locations. By considering different viewpoints from the plant and pollinator sides, new insights are provided for studies on the maintenance and evolution of animal pollination and on the (a)symmetry in plant-pollinator interactions.

Floral displays suffer from sulphur deprivation

Ties Ausma et al.

Summary: Research found that sulphur deficiency has significant impacts on floral displays, causing a reduction in flower number, abnormal flower morphology, and smaller pollen, particularly affecting the pigmentation of yellow flowers. These effects are specific to sulphur depletion rather than general nutrient limitation, potentially undermining ecosystem functioning by affecting pollinators.

Pollen sterols are associated with phylogeny and environment but not with pollinator guilds

Pengjuan Zu et al.

Summary: In our study of 122 plant species, we found that the composition and diversity of pollen sterols are phylogenetically clustered across different plant taxa. Plant species originating in tropical-like climates tend to have higher pollen sterol content, but there is no clear relationship with pollinator guilds.

Stoichiometric niche, nutrient partitioning and resource allocation in a solitary bee are sex-specific and phosphorous is allocated mainly to the cocoon

Michal Filipiak et al.

Summary: This study showed that different sexes of the solitary bee Osmia bicornis have distinct patterns of resource assimilation, allocation, and excretion. Sexual dimorphism in nutritional limitations due to nutrient scarcity during the larval stage may influence bee population function and should be considered in conservation efforts.

Floral resource diversification promotes solitary bee reproduction and may offset insecticide effects - evidence from a semi-field experiment

Felix Klaus et al.

Summary: The study found that in agricultural landscapes, wild plant diversity and identity effects can increase the reproduction of wild bees, offsetting the negative effects of neonicotinoid-treated oilseed rape on bee reproduction.

Solitary bee larvae prioritize carbohydrate over protein in parentally provided pollen

Alexander J. Austin et al.

Summary: The study found that dependent larval mason bees can regulate their intake of protein and carbohydrate, preferring carbohydrate. They prioritize maintaining a constant intake of carbohydrate and are more tolerant of protein excesses and deficiencies compared to other hymenopterans.

Many small rather than few large sources identified in long-term bee pollen diets in agroecosystems

Rachele S. Wilson et al.

Summary: In subtropical Australia, social bees forage on diverse pollen sources from both introduced species and wind-pollinated plants in orchards and forests. Different land uses provide different pollen resources for Tetragonula carbonaria colonies, highlighting the importance of floral resource diversity for stingless bees’ diets. Land managers and beekeepers should ensure year-round access to various floral resources for bee colonies, potentially by planting specific key plant families identified in the study or maintaining flowering weeds in orchards.

The Invisible Hand of the Periodic Table: How Micronutrients Shape Ecology

Michael Kaspari

Summary: This article explores the importance and geographical distribution of essential elements beyond commonly studied nutrients like carbohydrates, nitrogen, and phosphorus, attracting the interest of ecologists. The author presents a framework for understanding how deficiencies in micronutrients can impact individual fitness, abundance, and ecosystem function, with a focus on experiments manipulating biogeochemistry variables. The discussion also touches on how human activities in the Anthropocene are contributing to nutrient dilution in food webs.

Historical decrease in agricultural landscape diversity is associated with shifts in bumble bee species occurrence

Jeremy Hemberger et al.

Summary: Agricultural intensification may lead to declines in bumble bee species, while high crop diversity is beneficial for insect conservation. Increasing on-farm and landscape-level crop diversity is predicted to have positive effects on bumble bees, even in agriculturally dominated areas.

The development of the solitary bee Osmia bicornis is affected by some insecticide agrochemicals at environmentally relevant concentrations

Jaya Sravanthi Mokkapati et al.

Summary: Research indicates that insecticides have significant impacts on the survival and body mass of Osmia bicornis larvae, with specific insecticides potentially causing a shortened larval stage. Revisions to current pesticide usage recommendations are urgently needed.

Keep trees for bees: Pollen collection by Osmia bicornis along the urbanization gradient

Aleksandra Splitt et al.

Summary: The study showed that Osmia bicornis collects a more diverse range of pollen types in less urbanized environments, primarily from tree pollen, while in urban areas, the bees tend to collect more wind-dispersed pollen. The number of plant taxa may limit the studied bees, hence the need for planting more trees and Rosaceae family plants in urban areas.

Pollen Diet-Properties and Impact on a Bee Colony

Maciej Sylwester Brys et al.

Summary: A pollen diet plays a crucial role in the development and immunity of bees, influencing factors such as hemocyte numbers, protein levels, and intestinal histology. Properly balancing a diverse pollen diet is essential for the overall health and development of a honey bee colony.
