New species, new synonyms, and resurrected taxa: A review of West and Central Palaearctic members of the genus Pseudoanthidium (Apoidea: Megachilidae).

Wool carder bees of the genus Pseudoanthidium comprise approximately 60-65 species, which are found in the Palaearctic, Indo-Malayan and Afrotropical realms. Their taxonomic relationships are little understood. Herein, I revised West and Central Palaearctic members of the genus.

Why Kinematic Alignment Makes Little Sense in Valgus Osteoarthritis of the Knee: A Narrative Review.

There is a debate about the best alignment strategies in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Mechanical alignment (MA) targets in combination with necessary soft tissue releases are the gold standard for TKA in end-stage valgus osteoarthritis. Some authors propagate kinematic alignment (KA) with the aim of restoring the patient's native alignment and minimizing the need for soft tissue releases.

DNA barcoding confirms the validity of Anthidium melanopygum Friese, 1917 stat. nov. (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) as a distinct species of Western Asia.

Heinrich Friese described Anthidium spiniventris [sic] from Palestine in 1899, and A. melanopygum as a variety of it from Turkey in 1917. While A.

The new annotated checklist of the wild bees of Europe (Hymenoptera: Anthophila).

At a time when nature conservation has become essential to ensure the long-term sustainability of our environment, it is widely acknowledged that conservation actions must be implemented within a solid taxonomic framework. In preparation for the upcoming update of the IUCN Red List, we here update the European checklist of the wild bees (sensu the IUCN geographical framework). The original checklist, published in 2014, was revised for the first time in 2017.

A review of the anthidiine bees (Apoidea, Megachilidae) in Thailand.

Bees of the tribe Anthidiini (Apoidea: Megachilidae) are notable pollinators consisting of resin bees, wool-carder bees, and cleptoparasitic bees. Twelve anthidiine species were historically reported in Thailand, though the taxonomic information of the group was needed revising. In this study, 165 (97♀, 68♂) anthidiine bee specimens deposited at the Chulalongkorn University Natural History Museum, Thailand, were examined with material obtained from various museum collections.
