NECTAR reconstructs pollinator-plant interaction networks from biodiversity data to guide habitat restoration, improving pollinator support by 2.4 times compared to random selection.

This study examines the impact of heatwaves on bacterial communities in blue orchard bee pollen provisions and larval development, finding no effect on bacteria but accelerated larval development.

The paper investigates microbial establishment in floral habitats and larval food stores of blue orchard bees and finds no negative effects on larval development or survival.

The paper investigates how invasive plants affect native plants in neighboring habitats through pollinator-mediated cross-boundary effects, finding decreased pollination success in native plants.

The study shows that pollen diet, not geographic distance, primarily shapes the microbiome composition in provisions of two cavity-nesting bee species.
