TL;DR: There is no single road map to eusociality; independent evolutionary transitions in sociality have independent genetic underpinnings and these transitions do have similar general features, including an increase in constrained protein evolution accompanied by increases in the potential for gene regulation and decreases in diversity and abundance of transposable elements.

TL;DR: This study provides large-scale, multitrophic, cross-regional evidence that increasing crop heterogeneity can be an effective way to increase biodiversity in agricultural landscapes without taking land out of agricultural production.

TL;DR: For both managed bee species, daily activity started at lower temperatures than it ceased, whereas solar radiation did not differ between these two events, and O. cornuta was the only bee species seen visiting apple flowers under strong wind or light rain.

TL;DR: It is shown that accounting for a few traits dramatically improves the understanding of the structure of ecological networks, and matching traits for resources and consumers, for example, fruit size and bill gape, are the most successful combinations.

TL;DR: The development of a bee species as a new crop pollinator starts with the identification of a pollination-limited crop production deficit and the selection of one or more candidate pollinator species, and culminates with the delivery of a viable system to manage and sustain the new pollinator on a commercial scale.
