Dynamic microbiome evolution in social bees

Science Advances, 2017
Honey bees, bumble bees, and stingless bees have related gut microbial communities that are shaped by host evolutionary history. The highly social (eusocial) corbiculate bees, comprising the honey bees, bumble bees, and stingless bees, are ubiquitous ...

INCIDENCE AND TYPES OF CANINE TUMOURS IN SLOVENIA (2000-2020): A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY

Slovenian Veterinary Research
We conducted a large retrospective study to establish a registry of canine tumours diagnosed in Slovenia over a 20-year period and to analyse their incidence rate and some epidemiological characteristics.

Natural history films raise species awareness—A big data approach

Conservation Letters, 2020
In urbanized societies that are increasingly disconnected from nature, communicating ecological and species awareness is crucial to revert the global environmental crisis. However, our understanding of the effectiveness of this process is limited.

Specificity Between Lactobacilli And Hymenopteran Hosts Is The Exception Rather Than The Rule [PDF]

, 2013
Lactobacilli (Lactobacillales: Lactobacillaceae) are well known for their roles in food fermentation, as probiotics, and in human health, but they can also be dominant members of the microbiota of some species of Hymenoptera (ants, bees, and wasps ...

Nutritional Physiology and Ecology of Honey Bees.

Annual Review of Entomology, 2018
Honey bees feed on floral nectar and pollen that they store in their colonies as honey and bee bread. Social division of labor enables the collection of stores of food that are consumed by within-hive bees that convert stored pollen and honey into royal ...

Does the waggle dance help honey bees to forage at greater distances than expected for their body size? [PDF]

, 2015
A honey bee colony has been likened to an oil company. Some members of the company or colony prospect for valuable liquid resources. When these are discovered other group members can be recruited to exploit the resource. The recruitment of nestmates to a

Synthetizing hydrodynamic turbulence from noise: formalism and applications to plankton dynamics [PDF]

, 2003
We present an analytical scheme, easily implemented numerically, to generate synthetic Gaussian 2D turbulent flows by using linear stochastic partial differential equations, where the noise term acts as a random force of well-prescribed statistics.

Fungicides, herbicides and bees: A systematic review of existing research and methods

PLoS ONE, 2019
Bees and the pollination services they deliver are beneficial to both food crop production, and for reproduction of many wild plant species. Bee decline has stimulated widespread interest in assessing hazards and risks to bees from the environment in ...

Bee Updated: Current Knowledge on Bee Venom and Bee Envenoming Therapy [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Honey bees can be found all around the world and fulfill key pollination roles within their natural ecosystems, as well as in agriculture. Most species are typically docile, and most interactions between humans and bees are unproblematic, despite their ability to inject a complex venom into their victims as a defensive mechanism.

Do managed bees have negative effects on wild bees?: A systematic review of the literature

PLoS ONE, 2017
Managed bees are critical for crop pollination worldwide. As the demand for pollinator-dependent crops increases, so does the use of managed bees. Concern has arisen that managed bees may have unintended negative impacts on native wild bees, which are ...
