Quantifying the impact of an invasive hornet on Bombus terrestris colonies [PDF]

Communications Biology, 2023
The invasive hornet Vespa velutina nigrithorax is considered a proliferating threat to pollinators in Europe and Asia. While the impact of this species on managed honey bees is well-documented, effects upon other pollinator populations remain poorly ...

In vitro larval rearing method of eusocial bumblebee Bombus terrestris for toxicity test [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
Bumblebees are important pollinators of wild and agricultural plants but recently have been declining due to various stressors, such as pesticides and diseases.

Genomic divergence and a lack of recent introgression between commercial and wild bumblebees (Bombus terrestris) [PDF]

Evolutionary Applications, 2022
The global movement of bees for agricultural pollination services can affect local pollinator populations via hybridization. When commercial bumblebees are of the same species but of different geographic origin, intraspecific hybridization may result in ...

DNA methylation extends lifespan in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris. [PDF]

Proc Biol Sci, 2023
Epigenetic alterations are a primary hallmark of ageing. In mammals, age-related epigenetic changes alter gene expression profiles, disrupt cellular homeostasis and physiological functions and, therefore, promote ageing. It remains unclear whether ageing

Parasite and Pesticide Impacts on the Bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) Haemolymph Proteome. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2023
Pesticides pose a potential threat to bee health, especially in combination with other stressors, such as parasites. However, pesticide risk assessment tests pesticides in isolation from other stresses, i.e., on otherwise healthy bees.

Effects of spinetoram and glyphosate on physiological biomarkers and gut microbes in Bombus terrestris. [PDF]

Front Physiol, 2022
The sublethal effects of pesticide poisoning will have significant negative impacts on the foraging and learning of bees and bumblebees, so it has received widespread attention.

Unraveling the Bombus terrestris Hemolymph, an Indicator of the Immune Response to Microbial Infections, through Complementary Mass Spectrometry Approaches. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2023
Pollinators, including Bombus terrestris, are crucial for maintaining biodiversity in ecosystems and for agriculture. Deciphering their immune response under stress conditions is a key issue for protecting these populations.

Intra-specific variation in sensitivity of Bombus terrestris and Osmia bicornis to three pesticides. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2022
There is growing evidence that pesticides may be among the causes of worldwide bee declines, which has resulted in repeated calls for their increased scrutiny in regulatory assessments.
