Silent takeover: How invasive bees reshaped plant-pollinator interactions in a biodiversity hotspot Biological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss. Invasive pollinators can reshape native plant-pollinator networks. This study, taking Chile as an example, is divided into two parts. Firs...

🌸How do non-native #pollinators change pollinating networks?

🐝By analyzing 2,100+ records in Chile, researchers found that non-native bees (like π˜‰. 𝘡𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘡𝘳π˜ͺ𝘴) are shifting #pollination networks toward less specialized homogenized structures, with π˜‰. 𝘡𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘡𝘳π˜ͺ𝘴 dominating 73% of the interactions.

🌸Exciting #pollinator research at #ECTE2026! Dr. Agnes Dellinger (@the-kunsze.bsky.social) presented on how #environmental shifts can trigger pollinator shifts.

Key takeaway: it’s not just one factor, it’s a mix of macro/micro-ecology and shifting biotic communities.

Can pest traps help detect #pollinators? 🐝

Floral scent traps (usually for pests) in the Pannonian Lowland were tested: 27,539 insects (123 species) across 7 sites were recorded. On average, 90% were potential pollinators; orchards supported more #insects than arable lands ‡️ doi.org/10.3897/BDJ....

Scientists discovered a bee with devil horns. Meet β€˜Lucifer.’ Only female bees from the new species have the distinctive horns, scientists said, after it was discovered in a remote part of Western Australia.

🌏 A field survey of the #pollinators of a rare Australian wildflower led Kit S. Prendergast to describe the 🐝 Megachile lucifer #bee in hope to bring new light to the #conservation of native #bees and their native #habitats.
