Worldwide Alien Invasion: A Methodological Approach to Forecast the Potential Spread of a Highly Invasive Pollinator. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The ecological impacts of alien species invasion are a major threat to global biodiversity. The increasing number of invasion events by alien species and the high cost and difficulty of eradicating invasive species once established require the ...

Microrheology of haemolymph plasma of the bumblebee Bombus terrestris
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2023 ABSTRACT Viscosity, which impacts the rate of haemolymph circulation and heat transfer, is one of the transport properties that affects the performance of an insect. Measuring the viscosity of insect fluids is challenging because of the small amount available per specimen.

Silent takeover: How invasive bees reshaped plant-pollinator interactions in a biodiversity hotspot [PDF]
NeoBiotaBiological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss. Invasive pollinators can reshape native plant-pollinator networks. This study, taking Chile as an example, is divided into two parts.
