Evaluation of native bee nesting rates and beetle community assemblages in the presence of clothianidin in the soil of natural areas
… the common neonicotinoid clothianidin, on native bee and beetle communities in restored prairie settings. For native bees, we found that nesting probability and nesting abundance increased in sites contaminated with clothianidin. Conversely, we did not see differences in beetle family assemblages …

Effects of biochar, subsoiling, and native seeding on the establishment of pollinator habitat in log landings
… are among the greatest threats to wild bee populations. Since pollinators are keystone species for agricultural and forested ecosystems, pollinator habitat restoration is critical to ecosystem health and stability worldwide. Boosting the abundance, richness, and diversity of floral …

Floral abundance and soil characteristics affect wild bee community structures and nesting dynamics in tallgrass prairies
Tallgrass prairies have been reduced to less than 5% of their former range, yet provide essential habitats for many native plants and animals such as pollinators. Land managers work to preserve the biodiversity within these tallgrass prairies by implementing management techniques such as burning, …

From soil to air: exploring two novel approaches to studying cryptic aspects of insect ecology
… high frequency (VHF) radio telemetry to bumble bees (Bombus spp.), testing morphological predictors of flight success in mock-tag trials and conducting field deployments with Lotek NanoPin transmitters. Body mass emerged as the dominant determinant of flight ability, with a threshold of ~310 mg …
