Identifying drivers of sewage-associated pollutants in pollinators across urban landscapes

The paper examines PPCP prevalence in pollinators across urban landscapes and finds human development and plant abundance influence their presence.

Using agent-based models to predict pollen deposition in a dioecious crop

The paper develops an agent-based model to predict pollen deposition in a dioecious crop by integrating plant-pollinator interactions and management scenarios.

Factors affecting virus prevalence in honey bees in the Pacific-Northwest, USA

The paper surveys virus prevalence in honey bees across the Pacific Northwest, finding factors like mite prevalence, hive density, and landscape context influence virus distribution.

Recent Urban Development Reduces Bee Abundance and Diversity

This study shows that recent urban development reduces bee abundance and diversity, particularly affecting soil nesting bees, and suggests enhancing structural diversity in new neighborhoods could help mitigate these effects.

Plant responses to multiple antagonists are mediated by order of attack and phytohormone crosstalk

This study shows that plant responses to multiple antagonists depend on attack order and phytohormone interactions, with some interactions being antagonistic and others synergistic.

Ecological dynamics of the almond floral microbiome in relation to crop management and pollination

This study examines how almond orchard management and pollination affect floral microbiome dynamics and pollinator behavior.

Evidence of adaptive host and vector manipulation by plant viruses revealed through combined meta-analysis and modeling approaches.

The paper uses meta-analysis and modeling to show plant viruses manipulate hosts and vectors to enhance transmission, with traits like acquisition time influencing manipulation strength.
