Specialization and adaptation in pollen sterol use by wild bees

Ellen C. Baker, Ellen Lamborn, Katie Berry…·Philip C. Stevenson

This study identifies common and specialized sterol use in UK bees, showing that pollen diet drives sterol profiles rather than phylogeny.

Pollen sterols are highly diverse but phylogenetically conserved

Ellen C. Baker, Ellen Lamborn, Julia Quiñonez…·Philip C. Stevenson

The paper analyzes sterol diversity in pollen from 295 UK wildflower taxa and finds that sterol composition is conserved within plant lineages and important for bee nutrition.
