Transcriptomics Unveil Dsx1 as a Critical Regulator in Sexual Dimorphism of Crustaceans

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Sexually dimorphic traits are involved in reproductive competition and are shaped by sex‐biased gene expression. This study identifies Dsx1 as a key male‐biased gene in Morinoia aosen and demonstrates through RNA interference that its disruption feminizes male‐specific T3 leg structures.

The status of honeybees (Apis mellifera scutellata) colonies in Hurugwe Safari Area-Rifa section, northern Zimbabwe

open access: yesGeology, Ecology, and Landscapes
Species Distribution Models (SDM) play an essential role in establishing factors affecting honeybee species spatial population distribution and ensuring effective niche habitat protection. This study aimed to assess the precision of the triangulation bee

Ants contribute to raspberry pollination in protected cropping systems

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Ants visited raspberry flowers more frequently than European honey bees (Apis mellifera), Australian stingless bees (Tetragonula carbonaria) and flies, many transporting raspberry pollen on their bodies, indicating potential pollination capacity. Ants were active flower visitors at most times of the day and may extend the daily pollination window and ...

Honey bee brood ring-test in 2002: method for the assessment of side effects of plant protection products on the honey bee brood under semi-field conditions

open access: yes, 2003
Based on the presented test methods in the past, to evaluate possible side-effects of plant protection products on the honey bee brood and the recent OEPP/EPPO No.170 guideline, the “Arbeitsgemeinschaft Bienenschutz” developed a new test method in the ...

Colony‐level pollen collection reflects visitation of managed bumble bees (Bombus impatiens) in strawberry fields and surrounding landscapes without reducing pollen limitation

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We extracted pollen from colony beeswax to quantify season‐long, colony‐level resource use and tested how managed Bombus impatiens visitation and Rosaceae pollen collection relate to landscape context and strawberry pollination. Increased managed bumble bee visitation was not influenced by surrounding landcover, did not reduce pollen limitation and ...

The dual crisis: Climate change simultaneously drives pollinator decline and pest outbreaks

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Climate change acts as an asymmetric ecological filter, favouring r‐selected pest traits (rapid reproduction, generalism) while disadvantaging K‐selected pollinators. For every 1°C of warming, bee species richness declines ~25% since the 1990s, while pest‐induced crop losses increase by 10%–25%. A network‐centric approach integrating climate‐responsive

The proteomic content of Varroa destructor gut varies according to the developmental stage of its host.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens
The nutritional physiology of parasites is often overlooked although it is at the basis of host-parasite interactions. In the case of Varroa destructor, one of the major pests of the Western honey bee Apis mellifera, the nature of molecules and tissues ...

Spatial and seasonal patterns of potential orchard pollinators across a Lake Ontario gradient

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Potential pollinator captures varied by season, trap height and distance from Lake Ontario, indicating that flower visitors were not evenly distributed during apple bloom. Several common bee genera, including Lasioglossum, Agapostemon, Andrena and Apis, overlapped more closely with apple bloom than the dominant retained fly genus, Toxomerus.
