Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

A horizontally acquired pantothenate gene drives vitellogenin's benefit to whitefly symbiosis persistence

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
This diagram illustrates that the horizontally transferred panBC influences the level and localization of vitellogenin (Vg) by facilitating pantothenate production and juvenile hormone (JH) biosynthesis. In turn, Vg shields symbionts by suppressing autophagic degradation in bacteriocytes.

Ecotoxicological effects of common fungicides on the eastern honeybee Apis cerana cerana (Hymenoptera)

open access: yesScience of The Total Environment, 2023
The widespread use of fungicides for plant protection has increased the potential for pollinator exposure. This study therefore aimed at assessing the acute and chronic effects of fungicides on pollinators. For this purpose, the acute oral toxicity of the common fungicides azoxystrobin, pyraclostrobin, and boscalid to Eastern honeybee Apis cerana ...

Morphology and Olfactory Recognition of Leg Sensilla in Honeybee Workers of <i>Apis cerana cerana</i>. [PDF]

open access: yesInsects
Apis cerana cerana is a key social insect, and its ability to recognize chemical signals is crucial for maintaining colony homeostasis and coordinating collective behaviors, such as foraging, nursing, and defense. The legs of insects play a significant role in gustatory perception and proximity olfactory perception. In this study, the leg sensilla of A.

Honeybees directly outcompete other flower visitors through interference competition on shared resource

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
The outcomes of encounters between honeybees and other flower visitors were observed on two plant species. Pollinators either win, lose or share a resource. Competitive interactions led to greater than expected ‘wins’ for honeybees. The honeybee displaced or gave chase when interacting with another pollinator in at least 20% of winning outcomes ...

Comparison of learning and memory of Apis cerana and Apis mellifera

open access: yesJournal of Comparative Physiology A, 2012
The honeybee is an excellent model organism for research on learning and memory among invertebrates. Learning and memory in honeybees has intrigued neuroscientists and entomologists in the last few decades, but attention has focused almost solely on the Western honeybee, Apis mellifera. In contrast, there have been few studies on learning and memory in

Locked Pollen, Unchanged Buzzes: Bumblebee Foraging Behavior Persists Despite Pollen Restriction in a Poricidal Legume

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 4, December 2026.
In plants that offer pollen as their sole floral reward, this resource is finite and nonreplenishable, making such plants useful systems for studying how resource availability across flowers shapes pollinator behavior. Because tropical ecosystems of the Global South harbor exceptionally diverse plant–pollinator interactions, understanding pollinator ...

The Future of Native Bees in Australia Under Environmental and Anthropogenic Change

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Bees are considered one of the most important and abundant pollinators across the globe, yet they are under threat from anthropogenic activities such as land‐clearing, urbanisation, agricultural activities, pesticide use, non‐native flora and fauna introductions, disruption of natural fire regimes, pollution and climate change, among others.

The Odorant-Binding Protein Gene obp11 Shows Different Spatiotemporal Roles in the Olfactory System of Apis mellifera ligustica and Apis cerana cerana

open access: yesSociobiology, 2014
Odorant-binding proteins participate in the olfactory system of the honeybee. Apis mellifera ligustica and Apis cerana cerana are species of honeybee that have different biologic functions.
