Potential Correlation Between Bombus lantschouensis Thoracic Morphology and Flight Behavior
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Potential correlation between Bombus lantschouensis thoracic morphology and flight behavior. ABSTRACT Remarkably little modern work has investigated the thoracic structures of insects and their relationship to flight locomotion. Most studies focus exclusively on either morphology or flight kinematics.

The bumble bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Bombus) of Arkansas, fifty years later [PDF]
, 2015 Many species of bumble bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Bombus Latreille) are declining throughout their ranges in North America, yet detecting population trends can be difficult when historical survey data are lacking. In the present study, contemporary data

Bumble bee (Bombus) distribution and diversity in Vermont, USA: a century of change
Journal of Insect Conservation, 2018 Bumble bees (Bombus) play key roles as pollinators in temperate ecosystems. Some North American species have declined due to factors that include habitat loss, parasites, pesticides, and climate change. In many regions conservation is hampered by lack of

AutoPollS: A tool for automated monitoring of pollinators using deep learning
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Deep learning and computer vision hold enormous potential for automated monitoring of biodiversity, including pollinators and other insects. Efficient, scalable monitoring of insect pollinators is crucial given pollinators' role in supporting biodiversity and agricultural productivity amidst declining pollinator populations.

Wild bee toxicity data for pesticide risk assessments [PDF]
, 2019 Pollination services are vital for agriculture, food security and biodiversity. Although many insect species provide pollination services, honeybees are thought to be the major provider of this service to agriculture. However, the importance of wild bees

Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Yeasts that specialize in flower nectar play an important role in pollination ecology. Metschnikowia reukaufii and Metschnikowia koreensis were the most prevalent nectar yeasts found in our field sites. Bee pollinators exhibited different behavioural responses to nectar yeasts in field experiments. Bees visited more flowers with M.
