Urbanization is associated with shifts in bumblebee body size, with cascading effects on pollination

Evolutionary Applications, 2021
Urbanization is a global phenomenon with major effects on species, the structure of community functional traits and ecological interactions. Body size is a key species trait linked to metabolism, life‐history and dispersal as well as a major determinant ...

A Test of Bombus terrestris Cocoon and other Common Methods for Nest Initiation in B. lapidarius and B. hortorum

Journal of Apicultural Science, 2012
Porównano kilka metod stymulacji zakładania gniazd (ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem wykorzystania kokonów Bombus terrestris) przez matki B. lapidarius i B. hortorum. Stwierdzono, że procent matek B. lapidarius, które wybudowały pierwszą miseczkę na jaja na

Short communication: First data on the prevalence and distribution of pathogens in bumblebees (Bombus terrestris and Bombus pascuorum) from Spain

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2017
Bumblebees provide pollination services not only to wildflowers but also to economically important crops. In the context of the global decline of pollinators, there is an increasing interest in determining the pathogen diversity of bumblebee species.

The behavioural responses of bumblebees Bombus terrestris to simulated rain. [PDF]

R Soc Open Sci
Bumblebee activity typically decreases during rainfall, putting them under the threat of the increased frequency of precipitation due to climate change. A novel rain machine was used within a flight arena to observe the behavioural responses of bumblebees ( Bombus terrestris ) to simulated ...

Effect of ozone exposure on the foraging behaviour of Bombus terrestris

Environmental Pollution, 2023
Tropospheric ozone (O3) mixing ratios have increased substantially since preindustrial times and high O3 peaks are increasingly common. Plant-pollinator interactions are central to natural ecosystem functioning and food production systems but could be negatively affected by unfavourable environmental conditions such as elevated O3.

Interrelations of gas exchange cycles, body movements and heartbeats in the foragers of bumblebee Bombus terrestris (Hymenoptera: Apidae) at low temperatures

European Journal of Entomology, 2002
Rhythmic body movements, cyclic gas exchange and heart activity were studied at low temperature (mostly at 5°C) in bumblebee Bombus terrestris foragers. Simultaneous measurements by means of an electrolytic respirometer combined with an optical system by

Consequences of the high abundance of Bombus terrestris on the pollination of Vicia faba

Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2021
One of the main visitors to Fabia bean crops (Vicia faba) in South America is the invasive bumblebee species Bombus terrestris. This is particularly true in Chile, where B.
