An ant biting my insect specimen?! 🐜 ⚠️
We recently reported an unusual sighting: a fire ant biting a giant hawkmoth that was collected 38 years ago! 🤯

Elucidating mutual relationships between bees and plants in biodiversity hotspots is a challenge that requires the joint efforts of ecologists and taxonomists.In this new paper we analyse community-wide relationships between plants and Andrena bees in the Cazorla mountains and describe 3 new species
The genus Andrena Fabricius, 1775 (Hymenoptera, Andrenidae) in a Mediterranean biodiversity hotspot: community-wide relationships with plants and description of three new species
Evolutionary and ecological factors underlying the extensive, fast diversification of the species-rich bee genus Andrena (Andrenidae Latreille, 1802) are of general interest and require elucidation. P...
