Land Use Change Consistently Reduces α‐ But Not β‐ and γ‐Diversity of Bees

Toby P. N. Tsang, A. A. Amado De Santis, Gabriela Armas‐Quiñonez, John S. Ascher et autres

Land use change threatens global biodiversity and compromises ecosystem functions, including pollination and food production. Reduced taxonomic α-diversity is often reported under land use change, yet the impacts could be different at larger spatial scales (i.e., γ-diversity), either due to reduced β-diversity …

Garden Scraps: Agonistic Interactions between Hedgehogs and Sympatric Mammals in Urban Gardens

Dawn M. Scott, Robert Fowler, Ariadna Sanglas, Bryony A. Tolhurst

Hedgehogs occur within an urban mammal guild in the United Kingdom. This guild commonly utilizes anthropogenic food provision, which is potentially beneficial to wild animal populations, but may also bring competitors and predators into proximity, raising the question of how these species …

Women and Minorities in Commercial Aviation: A Quantitative Analysis of Data from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics

Robert Fowler, Alexandria Lundberg, Daniel Siao, Carlos T. Smith

The number of women and minorities working in aviation occupations has been very low and continues to be very low according to data from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Occupations in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) include aircraft …

Monitoring Neonicotinoid Exposure for Bees in Rural and Peri-urban Areas of the U.K. during the Transition from Pre- to Post-moratorium

Elizabeth Nicholls, Cristina Botías, Ellen L. Rotheray, Penelope R. Whitehorn et autres

Concerns regarding the impact of neonicotinoid exposure on bee populations recently led to an EU-wide moratorium on the use of certain neonicotinoids on flowering crops. Currently, evidence regarding the impact, if any, the moratorium has had on bees' exposure is limited. We …

Larval exposure to field-realistic concentrations of clothianidin has no effect on development rate, over-winter survival or adult metabolic rate in a solitary bee, Osmia bicornis

Elizabeth Nicholls, Robert Fowler, Jeremy E. Niven, James Gilbert et autres

There is widespread concern regarding the effects of agro-chemical exposure on bee health, of which neonicotinoids, systemic insecticides detected in the pollen and nectar of both crops and wildflowers, have been the most strongly debated. The majority of studies examining the effect …

Floral abundance and resource quality influence pollinator choice

Robert Fowler, Ellen L. Rotheray, Dave Goulson

Abstract Pollinator declines caused by forage habitat loss threaten insect pollination services. Pollinating insects depend on adequate floral resources, and their ability to track these resources. Variability of these resources and the effect on insect foraging choice is poorly understood. We record …

The city as a refuge for insect pollinators

Damon M. Hall, Gerardo R. Camilo, Rebecca K. Tonietto, Jeff Ollerton et autres

Research on urban insect pollinators is changing views on the biological value and ecological importance of cities. The abundance and diversity of native bee species in urban landscapes that are absent in nearby rural lands evidence the biological value and ecological importance …

Predicting bee community responses to land-use changes: Effects of geographic and taxonomic biases

Adriana De Palma, Stefan Abrahamczyk, Marcelo A. Aizen, Matthias Albrecht et autres

Land-use change and intensification threaten bee populations worldwide, imperilling pollination services. Global models are needed to better characterise, project, and mitigate bees' responses to these human impacts. The available data are, however, geographically and taxonomically unrepresentative; most data are from North America …

One-Year Outcomes in Caregivers of Critically Ill Patients

Jill I. Cameron, Leslie M. Chu, Andrea Matté, George Tomlinson et autres

BACKGROUND: Few resources are available to support caregivers of patients who have survived critical illness; consequently, the caregivers' own health may suffer. We studied caregiver and patient characteristics to determine which characteristics were associated with caregivers' health outcomes during the first year …

Abstract 222: Does Gender Matter for Postarrest Care?

Valeria E. Rac, Paul Dorian, Arthur S. Slutsky, Beth L. Abramson et autres

Introduction: Studies have shown that after cardiac arrest women have lower survival to discharge rates than men. These differences are surprising, considering that women are more often successfully resuscitated in the prehospital setting. Differences in survival to discharge rates might be partially …
