Co-flowering plants support diverse pollinator populations and facilitate pollinator visitation to sweet cherry crops (2022)
Journal Article
Gilpin, A.-M., O'Brien, C., Kobel, C., E. Brettell, L., M. Cook, J., & A. Power, S. (2022). Co-flowering plants support diverse pollinator populations and facilitate pollinator visitation to sweet cherry crops. Basic and Applied Ecology, 63, 36-48. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.baae.2022.05.005Many food crops depend on animal pollination to set fruit. In light of pollinator declines there is growing recognition of the need for agro-ecosystems that can sustain wild pollinator populations, ensuring fruit production and pollinator conservatio...

Vertical and Horizontal Transmission of Cell Fusing Agent Virus in Aedes aegypti (2022)
Journal Article
Cell fusing agent virus (CFAV) is an insect-specific flavivirus (ISF) found in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. ISFs have demonstrated the ability to modulate the infection or transmission of arboviruses such as dengue, West Nile, and Zika viruses. It is th...

Co-Flowering Species Richness Increases Pollinator Visitation to Apple Flowers (2022)
Journal Article
Co-flowering plants can experience an array of interactions, ranging from facilitation to competition, the direction and strength of which are often dependent on the relative abundance and diversity of the plant species involved and the foraging beha...

Ecological Research, 37(6), 768-779. https://doi.org/10.1111/1440-1703.12348Supporting and promoting invertebrate diversity within agricultural ecosystems has numerous benefits, including the provision of pollination services. Many insects, including wild pollinators, require floral resources for food and structural habitat... Read More about The use of trap-nests to support crop pollinators in agricultural areas.
Cold case : the disappearance of Egypt bee virus, a fourth distinct master strain of deformed wing virus linked to honeybee mortality in 1970’s Egypt (2022)
Journal Article
In 1977, a sample of diseased adult honeybees (Apis mellifera) from Egypt was found to contain large amounts of a previously unknown virus, Egypt bee virus, which was subsequently shown to be serologically related to deformed wing virus (DWV). By seq... Read More about Cold case : the disappearance of Egypt bee virus, a fourth distinct master strain of deformed wing virus linked to honeybee mortality in 1970’s Egypt.
