Buzzing benefits: How multi-species pollination boosts strawberry yield, quality, and nutritional value

Journal of Pollination Ecology
A diverse assemblage of insect visitors can provide functional complementarity within plant pollination due to differences in characteristics such as their physical traits, visitation rate and foraging time of day or year.

Bumblebees gain fitness through learning [PDF]

, 2007
Despite the widespread assumption that the learning abilities of animals are adapted to the particular environments in which they operate, the quantitative effects of learning performance on fitness remain virtually unknown. Here we evaluate the learning

Colony growth of the bumblebee, Bombus terrestris, in improved and conventional agricultural and suburban habitats

, 2002
Many bumblebee species are declining at a rapid rate in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. This is commonly attributed to the decline in floral resources that has resulted from an intensification in farming practices. Here we assess growth of nests of the

Investigating the impact of deploying commercial Bombus terrestris for crop pollination on pathogen dynamics in wild bumble bees

, 2013
The use of commercial bumble bees for crop pollination has been implicated in the decline of wild bumble bees through the spread of pathogens. This study investigates whether diseases from commercial bumble bees threaten native species in the UK.

Identification of cryptic species Bombus lucorum-complex and Bombus terrestris in Penza region using the PCR–RFLP method

Известия высших учебных заведений. Поволжский регион: Естественные науки
Background. Studying the distribution of cryptic species Bombus lucorum-complex is one of the most difficult tasks in regional entomological research. In Penza region there is information about only two species of bumblebees B. terrestris and B. lucorum,

High-Res Acoustic and Environmental Data to Monitor Bombus dahlbomii Amid Invasive Species, Habitat Loss

Scientific Data
The decline of the endemic Patagonian bumblebee (Bombus dahlbomii) as a result of invasive species and habitat loss, among other stressors, has raised significant conservation concerns for the species and the ecosystem it inhabits.
