Colony defence in bumblebees (Bombus terrestris). [PDF]
PLoS ONEBumblebees are key pollinators of both wild plants and agricultural crops, hence understanding their biology is critical for conservation efforts as well as for managing domesticated colonies. While their foraging and reproductive ecology have received a

Spatial vision in Bombus terrestris [PDF]
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2016 Bombus terrestris is one of the most commonly used insect models to investigate visually guided behavior and spatial vision in particular. Two fundamental measures of spatial vision are spatial resolution and contrast sensitivity.

Nectar robbing by the invasive bumblebee Bombus terrestris (Apidae) changes the behavior of native flower visitors of Fuchsia magellanica Lam. (Onagraceae) but not seed set [PDF]
PeerJMutualisms between plants and pollinators may be threatened by nectar robbers, as these animals typically consume nectar without providing the essential pollination service.

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.

Quantifying the impact of an invasive Hornet on Bombus terrestris Colonies. [PDF]
Commun Biol, 2023 Abstract 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 understood ...
