Big city Bombus: using natural history and land-use history to find significant environmental drivers in bumble-bee declines in urban development [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2017
Native bee populations are critical sources of pollination. Unfortunately, native bees are declining in abundance and diversity. Much of this decline comes from human land-use change.

Evolution of Phospholipase A2 in Bees and Flies [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) as a component of venom has been studied intensively in venomous snakes while little has been done in insects. In this study, we firstly identified PLA2 among 36 Hymenoptera (Apis and Bombus genera) and 28 Diptera (Drosophila ...

On the nomenclature of Bombus flavifrons Smith, 1866 (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Bombini) [PDF]

Journal of Hymenoptera Research
The name Bombus flavifrons has been applied to two different bumble bee species in North America, one described by Ezra Cresson in 1863, the other by Frederick Smith in 1866.

Parasites, parasitoids, and hive products that are potentially deleterious to wild and commercially raised bumble bees (Bombus spp.) in North America

Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2023
Bumble bees are important pollinators for a great diversity of wild and cultivated plants, and in many parts of the world certain species have been found to be in decline, gone locally extinct, or even globally extinct.

Foraging preferences of bumble bee castes are weakly related to plant species cover on two arable agri-environment habitat types

Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2023
Arable field margins provide important floral resources for insect foragers. This study assessed the significance of cultivated margins and floristically enhanced margins, both English agri-environment scheme (AES) options, to foraging bumble bees ...

The potential of electricity transmission corridors in forested areas as bumblebee habitat [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2016
Declines in pollinator abundance and diversity are not only a conservation issue, but also a threat to crop pollination. Maintained infrastructure corridors, such as those containing electricity transmission lines, are potentially important wild ...

Efecto de la matriz urbana sobre las abejas visitantes florales (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) y la polinización de árboles urbanos en Bogotá, Colombia

Revista Chilena de Entomología, 2022
Resumen. Aunque la urbanización es uno de los mayores impulsores de transformación ecológica a nivel global, su impacto sobre la biodiversidad y procesos ecosistémicos como la polinización ha sido poco estudiado, especialmente en el trópico.

Endosymbionts that threaten commercially raised and wild bumble bees (Bombus spp.)

Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2023
Bumble bees (Bombus spp.) are important pollinators for both wild and agriculturally managed plants. We give an overview of what is known about the diverse community of internal potentially deleterious bumble bee symbionts, including viruses, bacteria ...
