Hidden and Wild: An Integrated Study of European Wild Bees
暫譯: 隱秘與野性：歐洲野生蜜蜂的綜合研究

近年來，授粉已成為一個非常重要的研究趨勢，特別是野生蜜蜂在植物授粉的動態中扮演著關鍵角色。本書旨在通過與野生蜜蜂相關的主要科學學科發展一條途徑。從分類學和生物地理學的背景出發，探討蜜蜂生態的關鍵方面，並分析它們與環境之間的各種互動。本書的多學科理論和實踐方法旨在支持研究人員、教授、利益相關者以及希望深入了解此主題的非專業人士。此外，專門針對公民科學的章節將激發對野生蜜蜂實踐方法的好奇心。

Giovanni Cilia (Dr., PhD) graduated cum laude with a Master's degree in Veterinary Biotechnological Sciences. He obtained a PhD in Veterinary Infectious Diseases from the University of Pisa. He has worked at the CREA Research Centre for Agriculture and Environment, focusing on bee pathogens, molecular biology, and wild bees. He is involved in teaching and seminar activities for academic courses. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with several research centers on projects related to the pathogen transmission, health, monitoring, and conservation of managed and wild bees.

Rosa Ranalli (Dr., PhD student) graduated cum laude in Science and Nature Management from the University of Bologna. She is currently a PhD student at the University of Milano-Bicocca, where she conducts studies on plant-pollinator interactions in urban environments. She has experience in research and monitoring of wild bees and entomophilous flora, and in communication and dissemination through various collaborations, including the Research Centre for Agriculture and Environment, and participation in European projects such as Life and COST actions aimed at the conservation of plants and pollinators in the Mediterranean area.

Laura Zavatta (Dr., PhD student) graduated cum laude in Biodiversity and Evolution from the University of Bologna. She is currently pursuing her PhD at the Department of Agricultural and Food Sciences of Bologna, focusing on the conservation of pollinators in natural areas and agroecosystems. Previously, she worked at the Research Centre for Agriculture and Environment, where she collected, managed, and analyzed entomological data for wild bee monitoring projects. She gained experience through internships in bumblebee rearing, wild bee ecology, and molecular biology. She has also worked as an environmental educator in schools.

Simone Flaminio (Dr., PhD student) is a bee biologist and taxonomist, currently a PhD student at the University of Mons (UMONS). He developed a strong interest in wild bees during his undergraduate studies in Italy, where he was fascinated by their diversity. Specializing in bee taxonomy, he became a parataxonomist at CREA-AA in Bologna, contributing to the national monitoring project "BeeNet" by identifying bee specimens. He also participates in several national and European research projects. At UMONS, Flaminio's PhD research focuses on the revision of the European fauna of the genus Lasioglossum, known for its ecological diversity. His work aims to improve the understanding of its taxonomy and conservation, addressing issues such as habitat loss.

喬凡尼·奇利亞（博士，PhD）以優異的成績獲得獸醫生物技術科學碩士學位。他在比薩大學獲得獸醫傳染病的博士學位。他曾在農業與環境研究中心（CREA）工作，專注於蜜蜂病原體、分子生物學和野生蜜蜂。他參與學術課程的教學和研討活動。在他的職業生涯中，他與多個研究中心合作，進行與病原體傳播、健康、監測和管理及野生蜜蜂保護相關的項目。

羅莎·拉納利（博士，PhD學生）以優異的成績從博洛尼亞大學獲得科學與自然管理學位。她目前是米蘭-比科卡大學的博士生，專注於城市環境中的植物-授粉者互動研究。她在野生蜜蜂和昆蟲傳粉植物的研究與監測方面擁有經驗，並通過與農業與環境研究中心的各種合作進行溝通和推廣，參與了如Life和COST等歐洲項目，旨在保護地中海地區的植物和授粉者。

勞拉·扎瓦塔（博士，PhD學生）以優異的成績從博洛尼亞大學獲得生物多樣性與演化學位。她目前在博洛尼亞的農業與食品科學系攻讀博士學位，專注於自然區域和農業生態系統中授粉者的保護。她曾在農業與環境研究中心工作，收集、管理和分析野生蜜蜂監測項目的昆蟲學數據。她通過在大黃蜂飼養、野生蜜蜂生態學和分子生物學的實習獲得了經驗。她還曾在學校擔任環境教育工作者。

西蒙·弗拉米尼奧（博士，PhD學生）是一位蜜蜂生物學家和分類學家，目前是蒙斯大學（UMONS）的博士生。在意大利的本科學習期間，他對野生蜜蜂產生了濃厚的興趣，對它們的多樣性感到著迷。他專注於蜜蜂分類學，成為博洛尼亞CREA-AA的副分類學家，通過識別蜜蜂標本為國家監測項目「BeeNet」做出貢獻。他還參與了多個國家和歐洲的研究項目。在UMONS，弗拉米尼奧的博士研究專注於對歐洲Lasioglossum屬的動物群的修訂，該屬以其生態多樣性而聞名。他的工作旨在改善對其分類學和保護的理解，解決棲息地喪失等問題。
