Bombus terrestris Linnaeus 1758
, 2017 Bombus terrestris (Linnaeus, 1758) Species almost cosmopolitan, with a distribution that extends from northern Europe to north Africa and from central Asia to the Macaronesia, naturally distributed from 0 to 3000 m (Ornosa & Ortiz-Sánchez 2004). It has become increasingly important commercially for its pollination services to agriculture.

Methylation and worker reproduction in the bumble-bee (Bombus terrestris) [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2014 Insects are at the dawn of an epigenetics era. Numerous social insect species have been found to possess a functioning methylation system, previously not thought to exist in insects. Methylation, an epigenetic tag, may be vital for the sociality and division of labour for which social insects are renowned.

Ibis, EarlyView.Understanding dietary preferences and prey selection is pivotal for interpreting the ecology and conservation needs of threatened species. We investigated the diet composition and prey selection of the Red‐backed Shrike Lanius collurio in a montane grassland of the central Italian Apennines, with special regard to sex‐related differences and the ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Urban community gardens showed a high wild bee diversity with 168 recorded species, representing roughly 30% of Germany's wild bees, including threatened species like Osmia mitis and Coelioxys lanceolata. Floral resources, not nesting resources or habitat availability, were the main drivers for wild bee taxonomic and functional diversity.

RNA editing is abundant and correlates with task performance in a social bumblebee
Nature Communications, 2019 Bumblebee workers are genetically highly similar but they show different behaviors such as brood care and foraging. Here the authors report a high level of ADAR-mediated RNA editing in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris and its weak correlation to task ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.We investigated ground‐nesting bee distributions and trends in eastern Scotland by modelling public occurrence records (2010–2019) against relevant environmental variables. Our analysis revealed that the bee occurrence probability fell 8.7% per km2 between 2010–2014 and 2015–2019.
