E-PoSa: a novel and effective tool for sampling pollen directly from flowers

E-PoSa is a new tool for collecting pollen from flowers, showing higher recovery and purity compared to traditional methods.

Mimicking orchids lure bees from afar with exaggerated ultraviolet signals

This study shows that the orchid Diuris brumalis uses exaggerated ultraviolet signals to attract bees at distances from its model plant, enhancing pollination success.

Phylogeography of Lanius senator reveals conflicts between alpha taxonomy, subspecies ranges and genetics.

This study investigates the phylogeography of Lanius senator, finding genetic mismatches with subspecies boundaries and highlighting divergence between eastern L. s. niloticus and other populations.

City climate and landscape structure shape pollinators, nectar and transported pollen along a gradient of urbanization

This study examines how urbanization affects pollinators, nectar resources, and transported pollen across different urban landscapes in Northern Italy.

Harnessing the power of metabarcoding in the ecological interpretation of plant-pollinator DNA data: strategies and consequences of reads filtering

This study evaluates the impact of different read filtering strategies on ecological interpretations of DNA metabarcoding data from plant-pollinator interactions.

Effect of urbanization and its environmental stressors on the intraspecific variation of flight functional traits in two bumblebee species

This study examines how urbanization affects flight-related functional traits in two bumblebee species across different urbanization gradients.

Italian Odonates in the Pandora's Box: A Comprehensive DNA Barcoding Inventory Shows Taxonomic Warnings at the Holarctic Scale

This study uses DNA barcoding to analyze Odonata species in Italy, finding 85% of morphospecies correspond to distinct molecular units, but 15% show taxonomic mismatches suggesting cryptic species.

Tasting the differences: microbiota analysis of different insect-based novel food

This study analyzes the microbiota of insect-based food products using HTS to assess variability across species and processing stages.

Novel Universal Primers For Metabarcoding eDNA Surveys Of Marine Mammals And Other Marine Vertebrates

The paper develops and validates new universal primers for metabarcoding eDNA to survey marine vertebrates, showing improved taxonomic resolution across multiple species.

Does a strong reduction of colony workforce affect the foraging strategy of a social pollinator?

This study examines how reducing bumblebee workforce affects foraging strategies, finding little change in diet breadth or network-level indices despite increased foraging effort.
