First Outdoor Continental Record of Plagiolepis alluaudi Emery, 1894 in Europe
Plagiolepis alluaudi is a small, yellow, tropical tramp ant species that is rapidly spreading worldwide. In Europe, this species has primarily been reported in indoor environments, with outdoor populations previously found only in the Canary Islands (Spain). This study presents the first documented…

Bee diversity in urban green areas of a tropical metropolis: a multi-sampling approach
Human land use and land cover changes threaten biodiversity and ecosystem services, including pollination. Bees, which are key pollinators of many angiosperms, are particularly vulnerable to land use change. In this context, fragments of native vegetation can serve as crucial refuges for these…

Disturbance-Driven Patterns of Ant Diversity, Functional Composition, and Biogeographic Affiliation in a Rapidly Urbanizing Himalayan Landscape
This study assessed ant diversity and functional group distribution across forest, agricultural, and urban habitats in Dehradun (30.31650⁰ N, 78.03220⁰ E) under varying levels of anthropogenic disturbance. Sampling was conducted from August 2020 to February 2023 using three transects per habitat…

Ultrastructural characterization of antennal sensory architecture in three species of Himalayan Myrmica (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
Ants rely on antennal sensilla for chemical communication and for perceiving environmental cues, which are essential for colony organization and survival. However, information on sensillar organization in high- altitude Himalayan ants remains limited. The present study provides the first detailed…

Journal Article
Climatic Factors and the Extranidal Activities of the Native Bee Plebeia catamarcensis (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
Stingless bees collect a variety of resources, mostly from plants, for nest construction, hydration, and the feeding of immatures and adults. They also commonly dispose of waste from their colonies. These activities are directly influenced by abiotic factors, which can determine different foraging…

Performance of Fruit Juice as a Nectar Substitute for Sustaining the Indian honey Bee Colonies During Dearth Period
Honey bees (Apis cerana indica) are important for pollination and agricultural productivity, but a lack of nectar and pollen resources during the dearth period will negatively impact their survival and colony performance. The present study was carried out at the apiary of PAJANCOA&RI, Karaikal…

Assessing Farmers’ Knowledge and Perceptions About Pollinators in Mango Agro-ecosystems of Southern Punjab, Pakistan
Farmers are the ultimate beneficiaries of the ecosystem service of crop pollination, and their indigenous knowledge can be used to address the current challenges of pollinator decline. However, their perception and knowledge about pollinators is rarely investigated, particularly for orchard-based…

Edge-computing and Deep Learning Integration for Real-time, High-resolution Monitoring of Apis cerana cerana Fabricius Entrance Traffic
Continuous monitoring of honey bee (Apis cerana cerana Fabricius) entrance traffic is essential for evaluating colony health and foraging dynamics in precision apiculture. Existing vision-based systems struggle to balance high spatiotemporal resolution, real-time processing capabilities, and…

Description of Putative Courtship Behavior and Morphology of the Male in Stigmatomma caliginosa (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
The subterranean ant genus Stigmatomma exhibits ancestral traits and specialized behaviors, but its mating ecology and male morphology remain largely unexplored. In this study, we describe the behavior and male morphology of S. caliginosa for the first time. Laboratory video recordings captured a…

Distribution and Ecology of Myrmecophilous Crickets in the Province of Granada (Spain)
Myrmecophily, broadly, refers to associations between certain organisms and ants. Among arthropods, one of the most specialized groups to live within ant nests is crickets of the genus Myrmecophilus Berthold, 1827. Worldwide distributed, the genus includes numerous species adapted to different…

Social and Spatial Organization of Dolichoderus quadripunctatus (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) Colonies in Forests, Urban Habitats, and Supercolonial Systems
Supercoloniality is characterized by vast, interconnected nest networks that lack territorial aggression, a pattern typical of many invasive ants. However, its occurrence and adaptive significance in native species remain poorly understood. Here, we examine the context-dependent shift from small…

Invasive Termites on the Oceanic Island of Fernando de Noronha, Brazil
In this paper, we present the first termite records from the oceanic main island of Fernando de Noronha, based mainly on alates collected with malaise and light traps. Five termite species were present: Cryptotermes havilandi, Coptotermes gestroi, Nasutitermes corniger, and two undetermined species…

Plant–Bee Interaction Network in an Atlantic Forest Fragment of a Neotropical Metropolis
Urbanization is a major driver of biodiversity loss and profoundly alters the structure of species interaction networks. Nevertheless, urban forest remnants may still sustain structurally and functionally diverse pollinator networks. Here, we characterize the structural and functional organization…
