Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023 Bumblebees are key pollinators, but their global decline is being driven by factors such as invasive species. Bombus terrestris has invaded many countries, displacing and competing with native bumblebees for resources throughout many different habitats ...

Microrheology of haemolymph plasma of the bumblebee Bombus terrestris
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2023 ABSTRACT Viscosity, which impacts the rate of haemolymph circulation and heat transfer, is one of the transport properties that affects the performance of an insect. Measuring the viscosity of insect fluids is challenging because of the small amount available per specimen.

Silent takeover: How invasive bees reshaped plant-pollinator interactions in a biodiversity hotspot [PDF]
NeoBiotaBiological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss. Invasive pollinators can reshape native plant-pollinator networks. This study, taking Chile as an example, is divided into two parts.

Infection and transmission of Nosema bombi in Bombus terrestris colonies and its effect on hibernation, mating and colony founding [PDF]
, 2008 The impact of the microsporidium Nosema bombi on Bombus terrestris was studied by recording mating, hibernation success, protein titre in haemolymph, weight change during hibernation, and colony founding of queens that were inoculated with N.

Winter Active Bumblebees (Bombus terrestris) Achieve High Foraging Rates in Urban Britain [PDF]
, 2010 BackgroundForaging bumblebees are normally associated with spring and summer in northern Europe. However, there have been sightings of the bumblebee Bombus terrestris during the warmer winters in recent years in southern England.

The adaptive significance of sensory bias in a foraging context: floral colour preferences in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris [PDF]
, 2007 Innate sensory biases could play an important role in helping naïve animals to find food. As inexperienced bees are known to have strong innate colour biases we investigated whether bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) colonies with stronger biases for the most

Interspecific Variation in Bumblebee Performance on Pollen Diet: New Insights for Mitigation Strategies. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Bumblebees (i.e. Bombus genus) are major pollinators of flowering wild plants and crops. Although many species are currently in decline, a number of them remain stable or are even expanding.
