The small hive beetle Aethina tumida: A review of its biology and control measures
Current Zoology, 2013 The small hive beetle Aethina tumida is an endemic parasitic pest and scavenger of colonies of social bees indigenous to sub-Saharan Africa. In this region this species rarely inflicts severe damage on strong colonies since the bees have developed ...

Body Size Trade-Offs Underpin Reproductive Success and Thermal Stress Tolerance in an Invasive Pest, the Small Hive Beetle. [PDF]
Ecol EvolBody size differences have widely been observed in adult small hive beetles (Aethina tumida Murray, SHBs), an invasive pest of honey bee colonies. We hypothesized that parental body size influences reproductive performance, progeny fitness, and stress tolerance in SHBs.

Widespread polyandry in an invasive beetle species (Aethina tumida). [PDF]
Sci RepBiological invasions may induce adaptive shifts in traits that increase individual reproductive success, thereby accelerating population growth and amplifying ecological impacts. One such trait is polyandry, i.e.

Boron and Coumaphos Residues in Hive Materials Following Treatments for the Control of Aethina tumida Murray. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2016 In the search of alternatives for controlling Aethina tumida Murray, we recently proposed the BAA trap which uses boric acid and an attractant which mimics the process of fermentation caused by Kodamaea ohmeri in the hive.
