Do bumblebees have signatures? Demonstrating the existence of a speed-curvature power law in Bombus terrestris locomotion patterns. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 We report the discovery that Bombus terrestris audax (Buff-tailed bumblebee) locomotor trajectories adhere to a speed-curvature power law relationship which has previously been found in humans, non-human primates and Drosophila larval trajectories.

Duration discrimination in the bumblebee <i>Bombus terrestris</i>. [PDF]
Biol LettAbstract The ability to process temporal information is crucial for animal activities like foraging, mating, and predator avoidance. While circadian rhythms have been extensively studied, there is limited knowledge regarding how insects process durations in the range of seconds and sub-seconds.

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 is also driven by epigenetic mechanisms in invertebrates.

Prevalence and Distribution of Three Bumblebee Pathogens from the Czech Republic
Insects, 2022 Bumblebees are significant pollinators for both wild plants and economically important crops. Due to the worldwide decrease in pollinators, it is crucial to monitor the prevalence and distribution of bumblebee pathogens.

Individuality and consistency in foraging behaviour of the Bumblebee Bombus terrestris [PDF]
, 2012 PhDMany vertebrates and a few invertebrates are known to show individual-specific consistency in their behaviour across time and situations, sometimes in ways that can be paralleled with human personality.

Infection Prevalence of Microsporidia Vairimorpha (Nosema) spp. in Japanese Bumblebees
Insects, 2023 Microsporidia are spore-forming intracellular parasites of various invertebrates and vertebrates. Vairimorpha bombi negatively affects the fitness of bumblebees and its prevalence correlates with declining bumblebee populations.
