Data from: Morphological and ecological traits explain variation in desiccation tolerance among bees

Víctor H. González, Anna Dreusicke, Meredith Johnson, Thomas Tscheulin et autres

We assessed the desiccation tolerance of 22 bee species (13 genera of five families) from the Greek island of Lesbos, covering a range of body sizes, hairiness, nesting habitats, and social structures. We measured three desiccation tolerance metrics: survival time under simulated …

Morphological and Ecological Traits Explain Variation in Desiccation Tolerance Among Bees

Víctor H. González, Anna Dreusicke, Meredith G. Johnson, Thomas Tscheulin et autres

Rising temperatures associated with global warming are often accompanied by shifts in precipitation patterns, increasing the risk of desiccation for insects. However, our understanding of how functional traits shape desiccation tolerance remains limited, particularly among pollinators. We assessed the desiccation tolerance of …

Bee community and trait-based responses to fire in a Mediterranean landscape

Georgios Nakas, Aphrodite Kantsa, Lazaros Neokosmidis, Jelle Devalez et autres

1. Fire is a major global disturbance affecting the evolution of organisms and shaping plant and animal diversity, especially in fire-prone regions like the Mediterranean. Yet its impacts on insect-pollinator communities remain poorly understood. 2. We conducted a 3-year study on a …

Bees remain heat tolerant after acute exposure to desiccation and starvation

Víctor H. González, Wesley Rancher, Rylee Vigil, Isabella Garino-Heisey et autres

Organisms may simultaneously face thermal, desiccation and nutritional stress under climate change. Understanding the effects arising from the interactions among these stressors is relevant for predicting organisms' responses to climate change and for developing effective conservation strategies. Using both dynamic and static …

Does biodiversity affect Olive fly populations? Evidence from different understorey treatments

Giorgos Stavrianakis, Efstratios Sentas, Thomas Tscheulin, Thanasis Kizos

Abstract The agricultural industry is intensifying production methods to increase crop yields. Olive cultivation, the prevalent permanent crop in Europe and the Mediterranean area, involves intense practices with heavy agrochemical use. This significantly impacts agroecosystem biodiversity and its ecosystem services. In this …

Spatial analysis of olive fly on Samos island

Dimitris Kavroudakis, Thanasis Kizos, Thomas Tscheulin, Georgios Katsikogiannis et autres

Cultivation of olive-trees is one of the landmark land-uses and agroecosystems of the Mediterranean. The single most important factor of production-loss is infestation by the olive fruit fly (OLF, Bactrocera oleae). We examine the spatiotemporal dynamics of OLF populations on Samos Island …
