2024 journal article
As prey and pollinators, insects increase reproduction and allow for outcrossing in the carnivorous plant <i>Dionaea muscipula
American Journal of Botany.
author keywords: carnivorous plants; Dionaea muscipula; Droseraceae; plant-insect interactions; pollination; pollination ecology; reproductive biology; resource limitation
TL;DR:
This study reinforces the reliance of D. muscipula on adequate prey capture for flower, fruit, and seed production and a mobile pollen vector for reproduction, indicating the importance of considering insects as part of an effective conservation management plan for this species.

Can behaviour and physiology mitigate effects of warming on ectotherms? A test in urban ants
Youngsteadt, E., Prado, S. G., Keleher, K. J., & Kirchner, M. (2023, January 15). JOURNAL OF ANIMAL ECOLOGY.
author keywords: behavioural thermoregulation; CTmax; Formicidae; heat tolerance; thermal limits; thermal preference
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / physiology; Hot Temperature; Temperature; Insecta; Climate Change
TL;DR:
The results suggest that adaptation and behaviour may not protect common temperate forest ants from a warming climate, and highlight the need to evaluate effects of chronic, sublethal warming on small ectotherms.

Larger pollen loads increase risk of heat stress in foraging bumblebees
BIOLOGY LETTERS, 19(5).
author keywords: Bombus; critical thermal maximum; heat stress; foraging behaviour; thoracic temperature; climate change
MeSH headings : Bees; Animals; Pollen; Feeding Behavior; Temperature; Body Size; Heat-Shock Response
TL;DR:
Bumblebees likely adopt behavioural or physiological strategies to counteract the thermal stress induced by pollen transport, and these may limit their foraging opportunities as environmental temperatures continue to increase.

Estimating bee abundance: can mark-recapture methods validate common sampling protocols?
[Review of ]. APIDOLOGIE, 53(1).
author keywords: apoidea; mark-recapture; abundance estimation; bee monitoring; pan traps

The Impact of Prescribed Burning on Native Bee Communities (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Anthophila) in Longleaf Pine Savannas in the North Carolina Sandhills
ENVIRONMENTAL ENTOMOLOGY, 49(1), 211–219.
author keywords: native bees; fire; diversity; Pinus palustris; sandhills
MeSH headings : Animals; Bees; Ecosystem; Fires; Grassland; Hymenoptera; North Carolina; Pinus
TL;DR:
It is indicated that prescribed burning is a silvicultural practice consistent with pollinator conservation in longleaf pine ecosystems of the North Carolina sandhills, and bees nesting aboveground were unaffected by fire, contrary to the expectation that fire would destroy the wood and stems in which these species nest.

Failure of Pollen Transport Despite High Bee Visitation in an Endangered Dioecious Shrub
ANNALS OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA, 112(3), 169–179.
author keywords: Rhus michauxii; dioecy; plant-pollinator interaction; endangered species; time-lapse video
TL;DR:
Despite overall high rates of bee visitation, pollen movement from male to female plants was uncommon, and restoration of sexual reproduction in this species may require hand pollination or translocation of suitable mates to single-sex sites.

MeSH headings : Animals; Arachnida / physiology; Droseraceae / physiology; Insecta / physiology; Pollination

Wild bee abundance declines with urban warming, regardless of floral density
Urban Ecosystems, 21(3), 419–428.
TL;DR:
Bee abundance declined by about 41% per °C urban warming, and temperature was among the best predictors of bee abundance and community composition, and local impervious surface and floral density were also important predictors, although only large bees appeared to benefit from high floral density.

Higher immunocompetence is associated with higher genetic diversity in feral honey bee colonies (Apis mellifera)
CONSERVATION GENETICS, 18(3), 659–666.
Contributors: M. López-Uribe n, R. Appler n, n, R. Dunn n , S. Frank n & D. Tarpy n
author keywords: Microsatellites; Antimicrobial peptides; Defensin; Hymenoptaecin; Management
TL;DR:
It is hypothesized that high genetic variability provides the raw material upon which natural selection acts and generates adaptive genotypes in unmanaged populations and that feral populations could be useful sources of genetic variation to use in breeding programs that aim to improve honey bee health.

Homogenizing an urban habitat mosaic: arthropod diversity declines in New York City parks after Super Storm Sandy
ECOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS, 28(1), 225–236.
Contributors: A. Savage *, n, A. Ernst*, S. Powers *, R. Dunn n & S. Frank n
author keywords: biotic homogenization; disturbance adapted; diversity; extreme weather; hurricane; New York City; Super Storm Sandy; tipping point; urban ecology
MeSH headings : Animals; Arthropods; Biodiversity; Cyclonic Storms; New York City; Parks, Recreational; Stress, Physiological; Urbanization
TL;DR:
The results suggest that the species that survive in high stress environments are likely to be the ones that thrive in response to acute disturbance, which may lead to diversity loss in cities, potentially leading entire urban landscapes to mirror the reduced diversity of street medians.

Responses of arthropod populations to warming depend on latitude: evidence from urban heat islands
GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY, 23(4), 1436–1447.
author keywords: arthropods; climate change; ectotherms; global warming; latitude; thermal tolerance; urban heat island; urbanization
MeSH headings : Animals; Arthropods; Cities; Climate Change; Hot Temperature; Islands; New York City; Population Dynamics; Temperature
TL;DR:
Patterns of family responses to warming were consistent with predictions based on known latitudinal patterns in arthropod physiology relative to regional climate, and heterogeneous responses in midlatitudes may be ecologically disruptive if interacting taxa respond oppositely to warming.

author keywords: climate change; urban ecology; carbon storage; urban heat island effect; ecosystem services; herbivory
MeSH headings : Animals; Carbon; Carbon Sequestration; Cities; Ecosystem; Herbivory; Insecta; Temperature; Trees / physiology

Do cities simulate climate change? A comparison of herbivore response to urban and global warming
GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY, 21(1), 97–105.
Contributors: n, A. Dale n, A. Terando n, R. Dunn n & S. Frank n

Seed odor mediates an obligate ant-plant mutualism in Amazonian rainforests
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 105(12), 4571–4575.

TL;DR:
It is shown that workers of theAG ant Camponotus femoratus are attracted to odorants emanating from seeds of the AG plant Peperomia macrostachya, and that chemical cues also elicit seed-carrying behavior, and the chemical basis of this important and enigmatic interaction is illuminated.

Cuticular hydrocarbon synthesis and its maternal provisioning to embryos in the viviparous cockroach Diploptera punctata
JOURNAL OF INSECT PHYSIOLOGY, 51(7), 803–809.

MeSH headings : Age Factors; Animals; Cockroaches / embryology; Cockroaches / metabolism; Embryo, Nonmammalian / metabolism; Female; Flame Ionization; Hydrocarbons / metabolism; Integumentary System / physiology; Reproduction / physiology
TL;DR:
Embryos of the viviparous cockroach Diploptera punctata accumulate large amounts of hydrocarbon (HC) of either maternal or embryonic origin, and female abdominal integument was the only tissue that synthesized appreciable amounts of HC in vitro, and did so at an increasing rate from the time of mating to mid-pregnancy, when rates of synthesis declined.
