Histopathological and Transcriptional Changes in Silkworm Larval Gonads in Response to Chlorfenapyr Exposure

Insects
Chlorfenapyr is a widely used insecticide known to harm non-target insects, but its effects on reproductive development in the silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) remain incompletely understood.

Susceptibility of Bee Larvae to Chalkbrood in Relation to Hygienic Behaviour of Worker Bees in Colonies of Chosen Races of Honeybee (Apis Mellifera )

Journal of Apicultural Science, 2014
The susceptibility of bee larvae to Ascosphaera apis infestation and the hygienic behaviour of worker bees in relation to A. apis infected and freeze-killed brood were evaluated in three races of bees: Apis mellifera carnica, Apis mellifera caucasica ...

Eusocial bee species are exposed to different toxic element profiles despite foraging within the same landscape

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Bombus terrestris and Apis mellifera colonies sharing the same landscape (<50 m from each other) collected pollen with significantly different heavy metal concentrations. B. terrestris‐collected pollen contained 2–7× higher concentrations of arsenic, chromium, cobalt, lead and tin than A. mellifera‐collected pollen.

Diet breadth shapes gut microbiota in the invasive hornet Vespa velutina

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Dietary and microbial profiles of V. velutina larvae are dominated by Apidae and Firmicutes, respectively. DNA metabarcoding of larval meconium and gut samples reveals a significant positive correlation between prey richness and bacterial diversity in the invasive hornet V. velutina. Multiple significant correlations exist between dietary and microbial

Protection status and environmental gradients shape butterfly assemblages in an East African tropical ecosystem

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Observed butterfly richness was highest in moderately protected areas. During the dry season, vegetation productivity increased butterfly richness while human population density reduced it. Moderately protected areas supported high butterfly abundance and a high proportion of host‐specialist species.

Eight Years of Citizen Science Reveal Taxonomic Confusion Patterns and Dynamic Participation in the Monitoring of Vespa velutina in Spain

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax) is a successful invasive species in Europe, where its monitoring is partially reliant on citizen science (CS) initiatives. While CS is a powerful tool for early detection, taxonomic confusion and fluctuating participant engagement can limit its effectiveness.

Marketing Research on the Apiarian Products Market in Romania

Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies
Apiculture, as a branch of agriculture, has at its basis the bees’ instinct of storing feed reserves beyond their consumption needs, such reserves being used by the beekeeper. The economic importance of apiculture is determined by the value obtained from

Unraveling the mechanisms of fruit abscission in Morus laevigata through multi-omics approaches

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionMorus laevigata (long-fruited mulberry) is rich in active components and possesses significant nutritive value. The fruitlet stage represents a critical period for fruit abscission, and elucidating the underlying biological mechanisms of this
