Buzzing benefits: How multi-species pollination boosts strawberry yield, quality, and nutritional value

open access: yesJournal 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.

Learning, specialization, efficiency and task allocation in social insects.

open access: yes, 2009
One of the most spectacular features of social insect colonies is their division of labor. Although individuals are often totipotent in terms of the labor they might perform, they might persistently work as scouts, fighters, nurses, foragers, undertakers

Worker drift and egg dumping by queens in wild Bombus terrestris colonies

open access: yes, 2013
Wild bumblebee colonies are hard to find and often inaccessible, so there have been few studies of the genetic structure of bumblebees within natural colonies, and hence, it is not clear how frequently events such as worker reproduction, worker drift and

Bumblebees gain fitness through learning

open access: yes, 2007
Despite the widespread assumption that the learning abilities of animals are adapted to the particular environments in which they operate, the quantitative effects of learning performance on fitness remain virtually unknown. Here we evaluate the learning

Respiration and energetics of the bumblebee Bombus terrestris queen

open access: yesEcography, 1984
Carbon dioxide production by the Bombus terrestris queen was measured at different temperatures (10–30°C) and during different activities of the bumblebee. During flight the CO 2 production averaged 50 ml g −1 ...
