Abstract Mass‐flowering crops ( MFC s) are increasingly cultivated and might influence pollinator communities in fields nearby semi‐natural habitats SNH s). Across six European regions 2 years, we assessed how landscape‐scale cover of s affected densities 408 adjacent s. In fields, bumblebees, solitary bees, managed honeybees hoverflies were negatively related to the landscape. s, bumblebees declined with increasing but increased. The all pollinators generally unrelated Although apparently...
Abstract Impacts of climate change on individual species are increasingly well documented, but we lack understanding how these effects propagate through ecological communities. Here combine distribution models with network analyses to test potential impacts >700 plant and animal in pollination seed-dispersal networks from central Europe. We discover that interact a low diversity have narrow climatic niches most vulnerable change. In contrast, biotic specialization plants is not related...
Abstract Land-use change and intensification threaten bee populations worldwide, imperilling pollination services. Global models are needed to better characterise, project, mitigate bees' responses these human impacts. The available data are, however, geographically taxonomically unrepresentative; most from North America Western Europe, overrepresenting bumblebees raising concerns that model results may not be generalizable other regions taxa. To assess whether the geographic taxonomic...
Abstract Pollinators play a crucial role in ecosystems globally, ensuring the seed production of most flowering plants. They are threatened by global changes and knowledge their distribution at national continental levels is needed to implement efficient conservation actions, but this still fragmented and/or difficult access. As step forward, we provide an updated list around 3000 European bee hoverfly species, reflecting current distributional status level (in form present, absent,...
ABSTRACT Land use change threatens global biodiversity and compromises ecosystem functions, including pollination food production. Reduced taxonomic α‐diversity is often reported under land change, yet the impacts could be different at larger spatial scales (i.e., γ‐diversity), either due to reduced β‐diversity amplifying diversity loss or increased dampening loss. Additionally, studies focus on diversity, while other important components, phylogenetic can exhibit differential responses....
The diversity of bee (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) and hoverfly (Diptera: Syrphidae) pollinators from ten localities in Vojvodina, Serbia was surveyed. Among different types Pannonian habitat (grasslands, heathland scrub, woodland forest habitats) all were categorised as steppe. They protected areas, mostly undisturbed by human activity. Censuses took place 30 March to 10 October, 2014. We recorded 218 pollinator species; 135 species (42 Halictidae; 32 Apidae; 29 Andrenidae; 24 Megachilidae; 7...
The aim of this study was to assess species diversity and population abundance the two main orders pollinating insects, Hymenoptera Diptera. survey conducted in 16 grassland fragments within agro-ecosystems Vojvodina, as well surrounding fields with mass-flowering crops. Pollinators were identified Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index used measure their diversity. Five families, 7 subfamilies, 26 genera 63 insects recorded. All four big pollinator groups investigated recorded; hoverflies most...
The hoverfly genus Merodon Meigen, 1803 (Diptera: Syrphidae) comprises five monophyletic lineages. Here, we describe two new species of the murorum group and melanocerus from desuturinus lineage. One species, spinolobus Vujić, Radenković & Likov sp. nov., belongs to Afrotropical group, is recorded Republic South Africa. other M. sublustris Likov, Vujić Iran Palaearctic group. New are recognized described based on morphology molecular data (3' 5' COI regions). Additionally, identification...
Abstract Intensively managed agricultural landscapes often lack suitable habitats to support diverse wildlife, particularly harming pollinator communities. Besides mass flowering crops, remnant patches of natural and semi‐natural vegetation may play a key role in maintaining conserving biodiversity. Yet, the effects different habitats, including forests grasslands, on communities are poorly understood at landscape scale. We examined abundance, richness, diversity wild bees hoverflies, two...
Grasslands represent a biodiversity hotspot in the European agricultural landscape, their restoration is necessary and offers great opportunity to mitigate or halt harmful processes. These measures require comprehensive knowledge of historical landscape changes, but also adequate management strategies. The required data was gathered from sand grasslands northern Serbia, as this habitat high conservation priority. This area has long history different approaches (grazing mowing versus...
The current work represents summarised data on the bee fauna in Serbia from previous publications, collections, and field period 1890 to 2020. A total of 706 species all six globally widespread families is recorded; number recorded species, 314 have been confirmed by determination, while 392 are published data. Fourteen collected last three years, first records these taxa Serbia: Andrena barbareae (Panzer, 1805), A. clarkella (Kirby, 1802), fulvicornis (Schenck, 1853), intermedia (Thomson,...
Numerous scientific projects have been initiated with the aim of tackling decline in insect pollinators, a crucial group for functioning terrestrial ecosystems. One first steps is to address information gaps on species spatial distribution, diversity, and abundance that prevent effective conservation actions Europe. Given Serbia belongs understudied areas, efforts are being made improve knowledge its bee diversity abundance. The present study includes monitoring bees at 54 sites, surveyed...
Forest ecosystems are the source of multiple goods and services to humans, provision which is deemed be conditioned by biodiversity. If so, value biodiversity has become apparent society and, especially, decision makers. The aim this study was demonstrate value. Biodiversity changes were investigated along different stages forest disturbance in National Park "Fruška Gora". Both quantitative (structural diversity, species diversity) qualitative aspects (functional traits species) have been...
An essential prerequisite to safeguard pollinator species is characterisation of the multifaceted diversity crop pollinators, and identification drivers community changes across biogeographical gradients. The extent which intensive agriculture associated with homogenisation biological communities at large spatial scales remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated relationships between different bee for 644 species/morphospecies in 177 commercial apple orchards 33 countries four...
Numerous wild bee (Hymenoptera, Apoidea, Anthophila) species show negative population trends, while the knowledge gaps on their occurrences and distributions prevent adequate conservation actions. The need for continuous updating of records reconfirmation presence has been recognized, especially in understudied areas. present study presents results monitoring at 30 Serbian localities, each surveyed three times during 2023. Two sampling methods were used, transect walks pan traps, resulting a...
Pollination is a required process for survival of numerous plant species and crops. Hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) play significant role in this phenomenon. Due to raising environmental pressures, pollinator diversity pollination services are at risk. Faunistic studies biodiversity research the essential elements steps preservation. This study aimed analyze hoverflies two CORINE land cover types (Broad-leaved forest Natural grasslands), based on recent one-year study. To achieve goal,...
