Shift in virus composition in honeybees ( <i>Apis mellifera</i> ) following worldwide invasion by the parasitic mite and virus vector <i>Varroa destructor</i> Open
Invasive vectors can induce dramatic changes in disease epidemiology. While viral emergence following geographical range expansion of a vector is well known, the influence a vector can have at the level of the host's pathobiome is less wel…

Urban areas as hotspots for bees and pollination but not a panacea for all insects Open
Urbanisation is an important global driver of biodiversity change, negatively impacting some species groups whilst providing opportunities for others. Yet its impact on ecosystem services is poorly investigated. Here, using a replicated ex…

Sweat bees on hot chillies: provision of pollination services by native bees in traditional slash‐and‐burn agriculture in the Yucatán Peninsula of tropical Mexico Open
Summary Traditional tropical agriculture often entails a form of slash‐and‐burn land management that may adversely affect ecosystem services such as pollination, which are required for successful crop yields. The Yucatán Peninsula of Mexic…

The structure of flower visitor networks in relation to pollination across an agricultural to urban gradient Open
Summary Pollination is a major ecosystem service in which insects, particularly bees, play an important role for the reproduction of most angiosperms. Currently, this service is considered under threat due to reported bee declines. Moderat…

Pollination services enhanced with urbanization despite increasing pollinator parasitism Open
Animal-mediated pollination is required for the reproduction of the majority of angiosperms, and pollinators are therefore essential for ecosystem functioning and the economy. Two major threats to insect pollinators are anthropogenic land-…
