In Vitro and In Vivo Effect of Amitraz on Honey Bee Drone Sperm Quality
Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Honey bee hive infestation by the ectoparasitic mite, Varroa destructor, has been a major cause of declining populations. Treating such infestations is important for sustainability. Knowledge about the sub‐lethal effects of commonly used acaricides on drone reproductive health, particularly sperm quality, is limited. The effect of in vitro and

Behavioral responses of honey bees (Apis mellifera) to natural and synthetic xenobiotics in food
Scientific Reports, 2017 While the natural foods of the western honey bee (Apis mellifera) contain diverse phytochemicals, in contemporary agroecosystems honey bees also encounter pesticides as floral tissue contaminants.

Lords of the flies: dipteran migrants are diverse, abundant and ecologically important
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Insect migrants are hugely abundant, with recent studies identifying the megadiverse order Diptera as the major component of many migratory assemblages. Despite this, their migratory behaviour has been widely overlooked in favour of more ‘charismatic’ migrant insects such as butterflies, dragonflies, and moths.

Fast cheater migration stabilizes coexistence in a public goods dilemma on networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Through the lens of game theory, cooperation is frequently considered an unsustainable strategy: if an entire population is cooperating, each indi- vidual can increase its overall fitness by choosing not to cooperate, thereby still receiving all the benefit of its cooperating neighbors while no longer expending its own energy. Observable cooperation in

Natural Varroa mite-surviving Apis mellifera honeybee populations
Apidologie, 2016 The Varroa destructor mite is the largest threat to apiculture worldwide and has been responsible for devastating losses of wild honeybee populations in Europe and North America. However, Varroa mite-resistant populations of A.

Honey bee foraging distance depends on month and forage type [PDF]
, 2015 To investigate the distances at which honey bee foragers collect nectar and pollen, we analysed 5,484 decoded waggle dances made to natural forage sites to determine monthly foraging distance for each forage type.
