Pollination ecology in the tropical Andes: moving towards a cross‐scale approach

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant–pollinator interactions structure ecological communities and represent a key component of ecosystem functioning. Pollination networks are expected to be more diverse and specialised in the tropics, but pollination ecology in these regions has been understudied in comparison to other areas.

SNPs selected by information content outperform randomly selected microsatellite loci for delineating genetic identification and introgression in the endangered dark European honeybee (Apis mellifera mellifera) [PDF]

, 2016
The honeybee (Apis mellifera) has been threatened by multiple factors including pests and pathogens, pesticidesand loss of locally adapted gene complexes due to replacement and introgression. In western Europe, the geneticintegrity of the native A.

Plasticity in climate change responses

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent research has shown that climate change can both induce and modulate the expression of plastic traits but our understanding of the role of phenotypic plasticity as an adaptive response to climate change is limited. In this review, we dissect the mechanisms and impact of phenotypic plasticity as a response to accumulating climatic ...

Enhancing Mead Aroma Using Non-Saccharomyces Yeast β-Glucosidase Producers Isolated from Honey: A Case Study in the Upper Turi Region

Fermentation
The Upper Turi region in the Maranhão Amazon is a significant producer of honeybees, and mead production represents a cost-effective means of adding value to the honey production chain. This study investigates non-Saccharomyces yeasts isolated from honey

Animal medical systems from Apis to apes: history, recent advances and future perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Animal medical systems encompass a wide range of behaviours aimed at maintaining or improving health. It has become clear that these behaviours are not limited to animals treating themselves (self‐medication) but also include the treatment of group members, resulting in the adoption of the more inclusive term “animal medication”.

The complete mitochondrial genome of a Buckfast bee, Apis mellifera (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Apidae) in Northern Ireland [PDF]

, 2018
We analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome of the ‘Buckfast bee’, Apis mellifera, collected from Northern Ireland, UK. It consisted of a circular molecule of 16,353 bp.

How admixed captive breeding populations could be rescued using local ancestry information

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper asks the question: can genomic information be used to recover a species that is already on the pathway to extinction due to genetic swamping from a related and more numerous population? We show that a breeding strategy in a captive breeding program can use whole genome sequencing to identify and remove segments of DNA introgressed ...

Genetic structure of honeybee populations from southern Brazil and Uruguay

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2003
Apis mellifera scutellata was introduced to Brazil in 1956 and Africanized honeybee populations have now spread from Argentina to the southwestern United States. Temperate climatic restrictions seem to be a natural limit to Africanized honeybee expansion

Examining Honeybee (Apis mellifera) Dominance Patterns Within Urban Bee Communities Worldwide

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
We examine if and to what degree honeybees are dominant in urban bee communities worldwide. We found honeybees to be the most abundant organisms and highly dominant in most of the studies, although the dominance degree was quite variable between studies. Our results provide new evidence to contribute to the debate on urban beekeeping and reconciliation

Prey and prejudice: predation by the European bee‐eater Merops apiaster has species‐specific effects on the ecology and genetics of bumblebees

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 8, August 2025.
Predation is a major ecological force, but its effect on bees has rarely been studied. Here, we investigated whether the presence of the European bee‐eater Merops apiaster, a migratory bird species and major bee predator, decreases the abundance and body size of three common bumblebee species (Bombus lapidarius, B. terrestris and B.
