Allele specific expression and methylation in the bumblebee, Bombus terrestris

PeerJ, 2015
ABSTRACT The social hymenoptera are emerging as models for epigenetics. DNA methylation, the addition of a methyl group, is a common epigenetic marker. In mammals and flowering plants methylation affects allele specific expression.

Rearing of Native Bumblebee Species Bombus haemorrhoidalis for Greenhouse Pollination in Pakistan

Agriculture
Greenhouse tomato production is a growing business worldwide, and it is strongly promoted by bumblebee pollination. Although there are over 250 bumblebee species worldwide, very few species have been reared successfully for greenhouse tomato pollination.

Colour pattern and DNA-barcoding reveal a wide distribution of the insular endemic bumble bee Bombus xanthopus in the Tuscan Archipelago

The European Zoological Journal
Insular ecosystems, due to their isolation from the mainland and limited areas, are often endemism hotspots. However, the same factors that drive high endemicity also make islands vulnerable to anthropogenic pressure and thus to biodiversity loss.

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.

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
