    • Local and landscape effects on the reproduction of wild bees and wasps in Mediterranean communities along a gradient of land-use 

      Marrero, Hugo Javier; Gómez-Martínez, Carmelo; Allasino, Mariana Laura; Haedo, Joana P.; González-Estévez, Miguel A.; Lázaro, Amparo (Wiley, 2025-01)
      The transformation of natural landscapes for agricultural purposes may severely affect wild bee and wasp reproduction. In this study, we located trap-nests on 18 natural Mediterranean communities within agricultural areas ...
    • Scientific note: first global report of a bee nest built only with plastic 

      Allasino, Mariana Laura; Marrero, Hugo Javier; Torretta, Juan Pablo; Dorado, Jimena (INRA, DIB; Springer-Verlag France, 2019-01-28)
      Agricultural plastic waste can alter wildlife diversity and behavior. Species survival will depend on their ability to adapt to new environmental conditions. In a seed-producing farm, a Megachile sp. nest made fully ...
