The paper examines gut microbiomes in solitary bees and wasps, finding they have sparse and variable bacterial communities compared to social bees.

The paper surveys the phylogenetic distribution of poricidal flowers across angiosperms, finding widespread convergent evolution and context-dependent effects on diversification.

This study examines global patterns and drivers of buzzing bee distribution, finding that poricidal plant richness significantly influences buzzing bee biodiversity.

This study identifies a core microbiome in solitary bees during diapause, showing microbial proliferation and potential roles in pathogen protection and overwintering survival.

The paper examines variation in male pheromone production in Xylocopa sonorina, finding that larger males with darker glands produce more pheromone, which may act as a long-range attractant.
